HT.
Worry whether Reid will start the second half or not, went down unchallenged, looked nasty.
1 0 up but there's a sense of disappointment around the place at half time.
Great goal from Morgan, we've had a few other chances.
Mccormick made a simply incredible save seconds before HT.
Hartlepool look a very poor & often lazy side. I think people are a bit confused as to why we've not got at them enough, this game could be buried by now.
A better team would have exposed a strange (seen as we have 3 CDM's) gap in our midfield, Hartlepool keep getting through it but thankfully, they are utter tosh when they get to the box, just run in to defenders, although Marlon Harewood looks a threat.
The front 3 have been good, great goal from Morgan, so refreshing to have him back.
The midfield, average.
At the back, Purrington alright but I don't get the view he offers anything going forward? He doesn't. Hartley excellent, Nelson good, Mellor strangely terrible.
Hartlepool fans, well, credit to them for coming but they haven't actually sung a song, no, not one, every fan sat down & they didn't stand or even applaud when the teams came out, long way to come to fall asleep.
Home Park absolutely dead, a get the impression many are a little bored.
Solid but this could be much better imo against a lazy side with absolutely nothing.
We should win this with absolute ease, I worry that by not burying the game we leave ourselves prone to being robbed of all 3 points.
