00:00I'm here at the Prestige Group Stadium where Hartlepool United have drawn 2-2 with Tamworth

00:07on another frustrating night for Pools. That's their ninth draw in their last 18 National

00:14League matches. Anthony Lindbergh has proven that he is unafraid to make big decisions

00:19and he made another couple of bold selection calls, dropping David Ferguson and Jack Hunter,

00:23both impressed in defence on Saturday. In their place came Tom Parkes who returned from

00:30injury and Luke Charman as Pools set out with a very attack-minded 3-5-2 shape. The Hans

00:37had started really well and went ahead after 15 minutes with an impressive Reynas clearing

00:41up his Pools account with a lovely finish. However, Pools were made to pay for a lacklustre

00:48end to the first half and conceded twice in the space of four minutes. Jordan Ponticelli

00:54equalised before Beck, Ray and Oroo put Tamworth ahead. Pools made a change at half-time as

01:01Jack Hunter replaced the struggling Dan Dodds and were better after the break. Manny Disarui

01:05ended an eight-game goal drought with a well-taken finish on the hour, rounding Jaz Singh to

01:11draw Pools level. Pools huffed and puffed and went close at the end through Cleary and

01:15Disarui but were unable to make the most of a number of half-chances on an ultimately

01:21disappointing evening here in a very cold North East.
