Matty Daly was the hero for Graeme Lee’s side when he capitalised on an error from Wanderers goalkeeper Joel Dixon to move Pools into the quarter finals of the competition and just two wins from a trip to Wembley Stadium in April.
And whether Lee’s side are handed a home or an away tie you can be sure there will be a strong backing from the Pools supporters who turned out in good numbers again on Tuesday night.
And here at The Mail we take a look at some of the best fan pictures from the 2,529 in attendance at the Suit Direct Stadium for Pools’ 1-0 win over Bolton.
