'Back on track,' 'deserved,' and 'professional' – Hartlepool United players and fans react to impressive 3-1 win at Yeovil Town

After four games without a win and three without a goal, some discontent was creeping in via social media.

But that was quickly lifted as goals from Luke Molyneux, Gavan Holohan and Tyler Magloire saw Pools climb back into the play-off places with 14 points from their opening eight matches.

And here’s how the Pools players and supporters reacted on Twitter to Saturday’s impressive win…

Goalscorer Holohan tweeted: “Big [three] points today everyone to a man, subs and all different class. Never too high with the positive results and never too low with the negative results recently. Belief in what this squad can achieve hasn’t changed either way. On to another tough one Tuesday.”

And Molyneux was delighted to get his first league goal of the season as he said: “Big performance from the boys today, real quality in the first half and dug deep to get the 3 points in the second half. Always nice to get a goal as well.”

The North West Corner named Rhys Oates as man of the match, commenting: “Fully deserved, thought he was outstanding just needed the goal!”

Dan Nicholson agreed: “I said it years ago that releasing Oatesy was a mistake. What he lacks in finishing he makes up for in support play - something which I don't think is appreciated by all.”

Raymond Shipley said: “Very good first half, second half dug in. Overall very happy. On to Tuesday now, I really think we've got more to give but 8 games in, got to be content and we’ve got games in hand.”

@k7vin11 tweeted: “Game management in the second half, deserved winners of that one. Safe trip back Pools”

@_wrighty4 was impressed as he posted: “Resolute performance. 3 good goals. Fully deserved!! Back on track!!”

Jordan Richardson was delighted with Pools’ response: “A professional second-half display. The exact response that was needed after the Wrexham game.”

@paulkeay said: “Hats off to the players for that performance, good in the first half very professional in the second. Thought Cass was outstanding again, happy with that!”

@luke87202768 tweeted: “Despite all the pre-game negativity, there’s a hell of a lot of positives there, well-played boys!”
