Never short of analogies, Hartlepool supremo Mick Wadsworth has laid down the gauntlet to his players after four defeats in five matches. Do they just want to finish mid-table, everyone says 'little old Hartlepool have done well' and then go off on holiday to Benidorm, he asks: http://www.hartlepoolmail.co.uk/sport/football/hartlepool-utd/match-report/wadsworth_do_we_want_to_do_something_special_or_go_on_holiday_to_benidorm_1_3917717
One would have thought that having spent the year in Hartlepool enjoying their mushy peas (or avacado mousse) they would have chosen somewhere a bit more up market. OK, perhaps you can't afford the Seychelles on League 1 wages, but perhaps Malaga?
In any event Wadsworth thinks they should be aiming for the play-offs as a minimum. Nothing wrong with ambition, but some might think they were already punching above their weight. Whether they will start on the road to recovery against the Addicks tomorrow remains to be seen.
Their fans seem remarkably pessimistic with a number forecasting a walloping by the Addicks: http://www.pooliebunker.co.uk/newbunker/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=41391
I think it's going to be close, possibly even a draw, but I will go for 0-1 to Charlton.
