Comments:
League position: 15th Unused substitutes: Jim Provett and Lee Bullock Although most sources recorded Joel Porter as the scorer of both goals, according to the club's official web site, Hartlepool United accepted the opinion of referee Mark Haywood that the second goal should be credited to Gavin Strachan. He is quoted as saying: "Although Joel Porter struck the initial shot it was my view that it deflected off Gavin Strachan on the way and that, for me, makes it Strachan's goal. "Gavin came and knocked on my door at the end of the game to check that I was bearing gifts, so to speak. "It's Gavin's name that's gone down on my report and I have seen nothing on video this morning to persuade me otherwise,"Comments:
