Pools Star Says One More Point Is Needed

Hartlepool United star striker Joel Porter has admitted he is desperate for Pools to pick up a point on the last day of the season.

Despite fourth bottom Carlisle needing a six goal swing in their favour, Porter said they can’t rely on that.

”We can’t look and hope that Carlisle don’t score five goals and we don’t concede two. We’ve got to look at getting a point minimum.”

”That’s what we tried on Saturday but we were a bit unlucky that Leeds are in form at the minute and playing well.”

He said that he hoped to replicate Pools good away results at Yeovil and Crewe ”We’ll go there the same as we have approached the last two away games and we’ve got results out of both of them.

”It’s fantastic that we don’t have to win but we still need to get a result. If we defend as a team and play a little bit better when we’ve got the ball, it shouldn’t be a problem.”
