Not a lot in the game but Hartlepool ending stronger, Nolan looks good for them. Poor goal to concede we switched off from a quick free kick down the right, didn’t clear it or mark tight enough and will Harris of course puts it in the top corner.
Innes Cameron one on one onside misses completely and he never looked like scoring did he. We need better than him sorry not good enough. Why’s Reid not starting? Plenty of space though Hartlepool look vulnerable and we’re still in it. Don’t fancy our defence so much though they look good going forward. Referee bizarre to be expected.

If we're still one down with 20 mins left I expect the cavalry to be thrown on.

Quick reminder, let's give it a little more than 45 minutes of the first game of the season before melting down.
Criticising bad defending and someone missing a sitter is not going into a meltdown ffs get a grip!

I missed it. I thought he’d blown early…. but I nipped out as soon as it went.

Think showing we still need that forward.
Harris who scored for them looks good.
Hartlepool must have spent some money.

That was a foul on Harris there. We got away with that one
Is anybody else surprised at the amount of fouling going on (both sides) that the ref is not blowing for.
