Leyton Orient striker Jay SImpson struck on injury time equaliser to grab a point against Hartlepool. Scott Fenwick had put Hartlepool ahead before Michael Baudry headed home for Orient. Kudus Oyenuga looked to have gained all three points for Hartlepool with his second goal of the season before Simpson nodded home to break Hartlepool hearts.
Scott Fenwick scored his seventh goal of the season early on after some good work from Rhys Oates found the front man in acres of space to slot home. Leyton Orient equalised late on when Michael Baudry headed home from a corner. Connor Smith, who was making his first appearance of the season for Hartlepool then supplied a pinpoint cross for substitute Kudus Oyenuga to fire home. However, Leyton Orient pushed for an equaliser late on and their efforts came to fruition when Jay SImpson leapt highest to head home past Carson.

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. Billy Paynter has only managed one goal whilst Louis Robles and Rhys Oates are yet to find the net this season. Adam Boyd has issued a warning to his strikers: "At the end of the day, strikers are paid to score goals and they haven't been scoring enough. I have faith in my lads but they need to come good soon or I may have to look at letting some of them leave the club".

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hartlepool United manager Adam Boyd has backed faltering striker Raskish Bingham to find his form after failing to score in the last eight matches. Bingham was subject of abuse from the Hartlepool supporters against Exeter however Boyd has pleaded for fans to stick by their striker.
Bingham managed his only goal of the season in the first match of the season against Morecambe but has failed to score since. Boyd however sympathised with the 21-year old: "Yes, he's not scored as many goals as we would of liked but I am sure the goals will come for him. You saw with his goal against Morecambe that he has the quality, I just don't think anybody played well against Exeter. The fans need to get behind the lad and I'm sure he will come good."
Bingham spent time on loan at the club last season from Wigan Athletic and managed one goal in five appearances. His contract was made permanent by former manager Ronnie Moore before Adam Boyd joined the the club at the start of this season.
