Can be unkind, and seems to particularly have it in for Pools.
At the end of last season Hignett had the team playing well in a 4231 formation, no doubt it was intended to continue in this mode. However, shorn of flair players Molyneux, Hawkes and Williams, coupled with injury to Kabamba it hasn't been possible. Hence, Hignett has been trying to identify a formation which works with the players available.
Even our defence has been blighted by injuries with Richardson, Kioso, Cunningham and now Anderson all needing treatment.
I do feel that our luck must change at some point, but fear it will come too late to mount a charge into the playoff places.
