Shaun Jeffers struck a late winner for Yeovil to defeat Adam Boyd's Hartlepool in a close game an Huish Park. Jeffers bagged his first goal of the game to put Yeovil ahead early on before Hartlepool striker Scott Fenwick scored his third goal in successive games.
Hartlepool were second best throughout and would of been disappointed if they were to have left the game with only a point. Hartlepool goalkeeper Trevor Carson was the man to thank for keeping the score down with a great performance but all in all, it was a poor performance from Hartlepool. Adam Boyd will be hoping his side will improve in his side's next game when they host Bristol Rovers.

Hartlepool youngster Rhys Oates has been ruled out for a minimum of five weeks after picking up a thigh strain in training. The Hartlepool striker joined the club in the Summer, before the arrival of current manager Adam Boyd, from Championship side Barnsley. Oates has made one appearance this season, albeit from the substitute bench.
At twenty years of age, Oates stated that he is looking forward to getting over his injury lay off and forcing his way into the first team picture. "I have not played as much as I would of liked this season and this injury is definitely a step back but it won't phase me. I spent last season out on loan at Chester and I always knew that this season would be a tough one for me, especially with the quality strikers we have at the club. But it's a challenge and I can't wait to get back on the training pitch". In other news, there are strong rumours that Adam Boyd has a agreed a new deal with a key member of the Hartlepool squad with an announcement expected to be made tomorrow.

Hartlepool right back Michael Duckworth has signed a new deal at the club until the end of next season. Duckworth, 23, whose deal was to run out at the end of the season has been ever present so far this season for Adam Boyd's side.
Duckworth joined the club two seasons ago from Non-League side Bradford Park Avenue and has been a consistent feature in the side since his arrival. Adam Boyd has this to say regarding Duckworth's renewal: "He's a player who has done brilliantly so far in my short time at the club and a player I was always looking to give a new deal. He's only a young lad and has a big career for himself, It'll be weight of his shoulders as well, as I know what it's like not having that stability in your life so overall, both myself and Michael are absolutely delighted." Hartlepool face Bristol Rovers at home in tomorrow's match.

Hartlepool and Bristol Rovers played out a goalless draw in a somewhat uneventful match at Victoria Park.
Neither sides mustered much opportunities in front of goal with Scott Fenwick going the closest of the two sides on the half hour mark. Some good work by Brad Walker sent Fenwick through but his effort was palmed to safety by Bristol Rovers' keeper Sascha Studer. Hartlepool are again at home in their next match, this time against Luton Town.

Hartlepool youngster Brad Walker has signed a new two and a half year deal at the League Two club. Despite only being nineteen years old, Walker has been a consistent feature in the Hartlepool starting eleven for the past two seasons. Walker has played twelve matches in all competitions so far this season, scoring once in the Capital One Cup against Rochdale.
Adam Boyd could not hide his delight at tying down the talented youngster to a new deal, describing the nineteen year old as 'the future of the football club'. "For his age, he's one of the best players in this division and can go very far in the game. He's a player who I am over moon to have been able to tie down to a new deal as he does have a really bright future ahead of him". Boyd's Hartlepool side host Luton next in the league.

Hartlepool managed to gain a one all draw against Luton after an early sending off from August signing Nigel Atangana. Atangana was sent off just the half hour mark after a two-footed lunge, only moments before Craig Mackail-Smith opened the scoring for the away side. Rakish Bingham scored his third goal of the season just after the break to grab a point for Hartlepool.
Overall, Hartlepool will be somewhat disappointed to have only come away with a point, despite the early sending off of Atangana. Scott Fenwick looked to have sealed all three points for the hosts only to be left disappointed to see the linesmans flag raised on the eighty ninth minute mark. Hartlepool next travel to League One side Bradford City in the First Round of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy where it is expected that Adam Boyd will play a weakened side.

I am looking forward to playing in the Football League and make the step up and hopefully get some goals along the way. Robles will take the vacant number 14 shirt during his stay at the club.

What this needs is a bit of Jeff Stelling thrown in there somewhere

Thanks for the comment mate, really glad that you are enjoying. My aim this season is just to try and stay in the league tbh, so anything else is a bonus.
Great idea about the Jeff Stelling idea, that will most likely happen at some point in future... just have to wait and see. Also, thanks to Dan for his continued comments too. More updates will come tonight as I have been way too hungover the rest of the day.

League One side Bradford City are through to the Third Round of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy after an injury time strike from striker Devante Cole was enough to beat League Two side Hartlepool.
Hartlepool played a much-changed squad from their recent matches, with many fringe players getting an opportunity to impress. Hartlepool thought they had held on for penalties until former Manchester City youngster Cole, scored from a tight angle past Hartlepool goalkeeper Adam Bartlett. Hartlepool face are back in the league on Saturday as they face Northampton.

Hartlepool midfielder Jordan Richards has joined Conference side Grimsby Town on a loan deal which will see him stay with the Mariners until January. Midfielder Michael Woods had been on loan with Grimsby but has returned to Hartlepool after the Conference side decided against extending his loan spell.
Richards, 22, who can play either in the centre midfield or at right back has seen his opportunities limited this season at Hartlepool and had yet to make an appearance for the first team. The youngster who had come up through the Hartlepool academy will be looking to force his way into the Grimsby side. In other news, it has been rumoured that striker Scott Fenwick is in talks with the Hartlepool hierarchy over a new deal. Fenwick is the club top scorer this season with 5 goals and his contract currently runs out at the end of the season.

Hartlepool's top goalscorer Scott Fenwick has signed a new deal with the club which will extend his contract at the club until the Summer of 2018.
Fenwick's current deal was due to run out at the end of the season however manager Adam Boyd has moved quickly to tie the former Durham striker down to a new deal. Fenwick becomes the third key player to sign a new deal at the club after the renewals of Michael Duckworth and Brad Walker. Fenwick scored six goals for the club in his debut season for the club last season and looks set to beat that feat this season as he has already bagged five goals so far. He will be hoping he can find the scoresheet in tomorrow's match against Northampton.

Northampton midfielder Alfie Potter scored the only goal of the game to grab the win for the Cobblers against Hartlepool. The defeat for Hartlepool now means that Adam Boyd's side have gone six matches without a win in all competitions.
In a tight encounter, the former Oxford midfielder Potter was the star man, capping off his man of the match performance with a goal. The winger cut in from the right and struck into the far corner of Trevor Carson's goal. Billy Paynter went close for Hartlepool but Northampton held on for the win. Worryingly for Hartlepool captain Carl Magnay was stretchered off in the first half. Hartlepool travel to Dagenham next in the league as they look to end their current bad form.

Hartlepool skipper Carl Magnay has been ruled out for any time up to a month after twisting his ankle in yesterday's defeat against Northampton. The former Grimsby defender/midfielder has featured twelve times this season for Adam Boyd's side, managing to find the scoresheet once.
Magnay is naturally a right back however has found himself playing centre midfielder this season in Adam Boyd's new look side. The injury will be a big disappointment for Magnay who was currently in the process of learning his new position. Erhun Oztumer is expected to take Magnay's place in the side. Oztumer joined the club in August but has yet to break into the starting eleven and will be hoping to capitalise on Magnay's misfortune. In other news, midfielder Michael Woods will spend a month away from the club in his second loan spell of the season, this time to Conference side Kidderminster Harriers.

Hartlepool secured their first win in seven matches after a convincing win against League Two's surprise package Dagenham and Redbridge. Erhun Oztumer grabbed his first goal for the club before a great strike from midfielder Brad Walker from twenty five yards. Josh Labadie managed a goal for Dagenham but Hartlepool held on for a good win.
Erhun Oztumer was only making his second start in the league since his move from League One side Peterborough and it didn't take long for the Turk to grab his first goal for the club. After some great link up play, Scott Fenwick slipped the ball through to Oztumer who fired under Dagenham goalkeeper Mark Cousins. Hartlepool were two up soon after thanks to a wonder goal from Brad Walker. Walker was played the ball by loanee Louis Robles, before Walker struck from all of twenty five yards into the top corner, giving the keeper no chance. Dagenham grabbed a goal back but it was Hartlepool who went away with all three points. Hartlepool face bottom of the table side Barnet in their next match in three days time.

Two late goals from Barnet midfielder Curtis Weston grabbed bottom placed side Barnet a win against Adam Boyd's Hartlepool. Weston had only been on the pitch for five minutes before grabbing his goals to secure all three points for Barnet. Scott Fenwick had put Hartlepool ahead early on in a game which will of been very frustrating for anybody connected with Hartlepool.
Hartlepool went one up after loanee Louis Robles played Scott Fenwick through before the club's top goalscorer calmly slotted the ball into the far corner. Hartlepool were the better team throughout the match however could not make their chances pay with both Louis Robles and Erhun Oztumer missing guilt edge chances. Hartlepool switched off late on and sloppy defending accounted for both Weston's goals. Hartlepool will be hoping to make up for this disappointing defeat when they host Crawley on Saturday.

Hartlepool manager Adam Boyd has allowed three of his first team squad to leave the club on loan. Left back Dan Jones has joined Conference side Grimsby until January, as well as letting midfielders Lewis Hawkins and Summer signing Christian Smith join Southport and Stalybridge respectively. All three will return to the club in January and have the option to be recalled.
Dan Jones is seen as a bright prospect by many at the club but has found himself on the fringes of the first team this season with Summer signing Jake Carroll currently occupying the starting berth at left back. Jones featured twenty five times for the club last season but has only managed two appearances so far this season. Jones will join fellow Hartlepool player Jordan Richards who is also on loan at Grimsby who currently sit third in the Conference table. Lewis Hawkins, 22, has only managed one appearance off the bench for Adam Boyd's side this season and will also drop down the Conference with Southport.

Hartlepool struggled throughout in a defeat which has now seen them lost their last three matches in the league.

Northampton have progressed to the second round of the FA Cup after being fellow League Two side Hartlepool away from home. Hartlepool have now lost four matches in a row in all competitions and will be disappointed not to progress in the cup, especially due to its financial incentives.
Northampton were one nil winners when the two sides met in the league and this encounter was no different. Matthew Bates brought down Alfie Potter in the box early on which allowed their on loan striker Jamie Thomas to convert from twelve yards. Hartlepool have only scored once in their last four matches which will definitely be a worry for boss Adam Boyd. Hartlepool are at home in their next match as they host second placed side Leyton Orient.

Hartlepool manager Adam Boyd could not hide his disappointment after being knocked out of the FA Cup in yesterday's defeat against fellow League Two side Northampton. Boyd's side have only scored once in the past four matches and the Hartlepool manager has stated that changes may need to be made if their bad run in front of goal were to continue.
Striker Scott Fenwick is the club's top goalscorer with six goals this season however other Hartlepool strikers have yet to find their feet this season. Rakish Bingham has managed three goals, whereas Kudus Oyenuga has yet to score since his solitary strike in the first game of the season against Morecambe.
