Pool lose their winning streak
10 Jan 2007
Shrewsbury 1 Hartlepool 1
It shows how far Hartlepool have come in recent months when they are disappointed to only get one point in a difficult away game! Although the winning run has come to an end the unbeaten run continues.
This was a very difficult match on a glue-pot pitch which did not allow for 'Pool to play their normal crisp, passing game.
However the defence battled well with Michael Nelson outstanding.
'Pool dominated the first-half and it was no surprise when James Brown rifled home from 15 yards following confusion in the Shrews defence.
It was a different story after the break with Shrewsbury holding the upper hand and putting the Hartlepool back line under pressure.
Eventually they equalised when Michael Symes slotted home. A strange occurrence since this is the first goal conceded by 'Pool in TEN games!
