However, Hartlepool were pegged back through a fantastic solo goal from Boulding who ran from the half way line and fired past Carson.

Yeah I'm glad to see the back of him too. He's actually not a bad player at this level but I haven't been using a target man and Barrow offered £5k so decided to let him leave. Thanks for the comment again mate, hopefully we can keep up our good form and keep you reading.

Hartlepool's on-loan striker Rushian Hepburn-Murphy has been ruled out for any time up to seven weeks after spraining his ankle in the side's win against York City. Hepburn-Murphy has scored eight goals in ten matches for Hartlepool so far this season.

Kristian Dennis has scored four goals this season for Hartlepool so may also get a look in now after the injury to Hepburn-Murphy. Adam Boyd has announced that he will be looking to extend Hepburn-Murphy's loan contract when the January transfer window opens.

He's been pretty useless for me in the few matches he's played. I doubt he will be here too long to be honest with you... I've brought in way too many strikers to be honest, can see Barnes-Homer kicking off soon and wanting to leave. Thanks for the comment mate, more updates to come today.

Glad you are reading mate and really nice to know that you are enjoying this. Ranger was a player I decided to take a punt on but he's not featured much this season, fully expect him to start complaining soon. I tried to get Hyde back but York wanted £100k for him and we don't have that sort of money. He's played ten matches for York so far this season but hasn't found the net yet.
