Wilson Wants To Tighten Defence

Hartlepool boss Danny Wilson had admitted he’s unhappy about the number of goals conceded so far this season.

‘Of course I am concerned we are conceding too many goals, one is too many for me,” he told the Northern Echo. ‘We want clean sheets in every game we play – it’s not going to happen – but that’s what you strive for.

He thinks that the team may have to be more defensive minded from now on ‘Maybe the other side of our game will have to change a bit – maybe we are too offensive, perhaps too good going forward and then get caught on the break.’

Wilson also admitted that it was a tough decision to leave Jamie McCunnie out ‘It was a hard decision to leave Jamie out. We maybe have to tweak our side a bit if we want to keep clean sheets and Jamie is a fantastic attacking full-back, as you know.

‘He has great ability on the ball but we felt coming here, with Forest having what they have, we needed tall, strapping lads to defend and Danny comes into that category.”
