Hartlepool striker Kristian Dennis came off the bench to grab his fifth goal of the season to grab a draw against Grimsby. Craig Whelpdale had put the League Two strugglers ahead with a penalty in the second half before Dennis struck for Hartlepool.

Hartlepool are now on a four match winless run in all competitions which will be a worry for manager Adam Boyd as his side look to keep the pressure on table toppers Portsmouth. Jon Guthrie brought down former Peterborough midfielder Craig Whelpdale in the box before Whelpdale smashed the resultant penalty past Carson. Kristian Dennis then managed to grab the equaliser for Hartlepool with a great finish after Brad Walker played the former Macclesfield striker through. Hartlepool travel to Barnet next in the league.

Mendez-Laing Turns Down Newport As He Is Banished To Reserves

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/OKytdjlgFT7U9AG7PeAYpQQFgfeWfk6LMyInt7MS.png


Hartlepool midfielder Nathaniel Mendez-Laing has been forced to train with the club's reserve team for the remainder on his contract after turning down a permanent move to fellow League Two side Newport County. Mendez-Laing handed in a transfer request at Hartlepool last week however has turned down Newport after talks stalled due to Mendez-Laing's wage demands.

Hartlepool manager Adam Boyd could not hide his anger at Mendez-Laing's decision to turn down Newport: "At the end of the day, he's dug his own grave and will not feature again at the club while I am still manager here. I want players who want to be here and players who want to fight for this club. Mendez-Laing obviously thinks he can get a better deal elsewhere so let him do that. He's turned down Newport due to wages which to be honest it completely sums up the lad. He will train with the youth team and reserves until he can get a transfer out of here".

Hartlepool won comfortably against Exeter to keep pressure on the league leaders Portsmouth. Scott Fenwick put Hartlepool ahead with sixth goal of the season before Rakish Bingham's cross was turned into his own net by Exeter defender Curtis Smith-Brown.

However, Scott Fenwick seems to have found his goalscoring touch and he put Hartlepool ahead with a deft header early on. Rakish Bingham then caused mayhem in the Exeter box as his cross cannoned in off Exeter defender Smith-Brown to seal the win for Hartlepool. Hartlepool face Accrington Stanley next in the league who currently sit in third position in the League Two table.

Duckworth Turns Down Offer Of Hartlepool New Deal

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/OBIsn43iJYh1rS54YI9BmRZ55lt8VAjoy3eSClWU.png


Hartlepool defender Michael Duckworth has cast his future at the club into doubt after turning down a new deal at the club. Duckworth has been a key figure for Adam Boyd's side this season however contract talks have stalled with the right back's current contract running out at the end of the season.

Duckworth has been ever present this season for Hartlepool and it is expected that Adam Boyd will be looking to offer the right back a new and improved deal. It is thought that Adam Boyd is reluctant to cash in on the defender in January despite Duckworth being able to leave the club on a free in the future. It is unclear why Duckworth has refused a new deal however it is thought to be over the player's wage demands. Duckworth has been stand in captain in recent matches with Harry Worley injured and club captain Danny Hollands currently out of favour at Victoria Park.

However, he wasn't in my plans and we managed to get a good fee for him as well which is pleasing. This money will give us a bit of cash to hopefully strengthen the side in January if the right player comes along".

Surprised Mendez-Laing asked to leave having featured a number of times for you, but suppose you get some players like that who believe they are bigger and better than they are. Have any of the squad reacted to his demotion to the reserves/youth team?

Pennant will be a decent signing and should get a few assists out of him. Any targets in Jan window or are you waiting to see who/what becomes available?

Yeah, that Mendez-Laing development is a bit of a shocker. Pennant should be a good addition though, just for his delivery. (I don't actually know his FM attributes but I imagine they are decent for League 2).

Sorry to let regular readers know, but I will be stopping this for a while. I'm not saying that this has finished but with a full time job now, I just don't have time to be doing updates in the style I have been doing. I may get back into this at some point and I will keep the save on my laptop but not too sure when. Thanks for all the comments, it's been really appreciated.

I may start a new career at some point but with a more simplified style of updates. Most likely abroad lower league and see where I can end up.

Luton Town came out on top against second-placed Hartlepool to push them up to fifth position in the League Two table. Josh McQuoid hit the winner with an early strike against an out of sorts Hartlepool side who produced a lacklustre display.

Former Brighton striker Craig Makail-Smith assisted his strike partner Mcquoid for the only goal of the game as the two combined to devastating effect which saw McQuoid nod home. Hartlepool rarely threatened and had goalkeeper Trevor Carson to thank for limiting the scoreline to one-nil. Hartlepool host Mansfield next where they will looking to get back to winning ways after a very disappointing performance.

Scott Fenwick scored his ninth goal of the season as Hartlepool beat Mansfield by a goal to nil. Hartlepool had lost last their last match against Luton but fought back with a solid performance to keep them in firmly in second position in the League Two table.

Hartlepool went ahead midway through the first half thanks to a fine strike from Fenwick. Fenwick was Hartlepool's top goalscorer last season however the striker has been somewhat overshadowed this season due to the performances from loanee Rushina Hepburn-Murphy. However, the two linked up well with Hepburn-Murphy being the provider with an astute knock down for Fenwick to volley home. Trevor Carson made some crucial saves late on for the home side to grab them an all important win. Hartlepool face fellow promotion contenders Notts County in their next match.
