@Danthom03: “Was always going to be a tough ask. The battle for 3rd is well and truly on. To be honest, I’d be happy with the top 5. If we can avoid away games in the play-offs, I’m confident we will go up.”

@RonnieC45027878: “Was always going to be a difficult game, under any circumstances, but 3G, quick games turnaround, team in form, leagues top scorer, never do well at Hayes Lane, added to the difficulty. However, felt the game was lost before kick off with team selection and formation.”
Bromley fan, @AlexBromleyfc was also complimentary of Pools as he tweeted: “Great game yesterday, superb advert for the league. Can see why you were unbeaten for so long.”
