St Landrew

5 minutes plus extra.

This is the sort of game which makes the difference between winners and losers. If we steal a win, we may well make it all the way to the playoffs. If we don't, it's the sort of season we expect. Too much to ask for. Lambert free-kick. Let's see.

Alan Bennett is playing well for Wycombe. The bleeder. Cherries 3-0.

Hartlepool 4 Carlisle 1 Blimey.

Waigo comes on, Saints wake up.

****. Lallana wide

After resumption of signal, it's 0-0 and I'm out to the toilet while I hear Dave Merrington tell us that Saints are lucky not to be 2-0 down. Cue near heart-attack..!

Lost the signal..!

Davis excellent save

Dave Merrington has started whispering again as if he's releasing a secret.

All I can say is 0-0. Despite Lallana chasing the ball like Usain Bolt Bollix. Lambert missed from 4 yards.

Was is it a phew or was it too few..?

If this was one of those obscure, blustery games, up north, it would be Hartlepool in the midst of fog and a bit of heavy drizzle. That's the sort of feeling I have about this game. Well we have to cut through this damp and cold, and become effective.

I'd be quite happy to scrape a win.

Go to the 2nd half thread now please.

I expect a slight improvement from Saints.

Pardew will be into them, I feel.

HT. Odd half really. Saints crowd quite vocal. Pitch must be pretty crap if it is levelling these sides.

According to Dave Merrington, we're being out fought in midfield. Meaning, we're missing Schneiderlin.

Bollix..! Puncheon misses..!

Yeah. That's what I thought.

0-0

Phew..! Antonio off. He has been invisible.

Hammond could be injured. That's a bugger.

Tbf, we've caught Wycombe on the up. They've been doing well, of late. Why is it we have to catch every bloody team in form..?
