I know it is only a pre-season friendly but it is a bit worrying we are being hammered 4-1 by a team two divisions below us, especially as we lost to the mighty Spennymoor last Tuesday. Pools fielded a full strength today which is also a bit concerning. DC made plenty of comments in the Mail about how important it was to be in a winning frame of mind. He'll be fuming after today and rightly so.
