The second goal was one of total idiocy which let Hartlepool's top scorer, Tommy Miller, seal that game even at that point, which shows how bad the side really were.

Hartlepool controlled the second half proceedings and would have scored several had they been a little more sharp with their shooting (the likes of Rotherham or Peterborough would have hit the Imps for, at least, six).
