VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM
Hartlepool first-team coach Neale Cooper tells BBC Tees:
"The important thing was that we bounced back tonight, to come here and do that I was pleased with the outcome.
"They were superb tonight, they defended well when they had to defend.
"Even at the end when they were coming at us, the shape was good and Scott Flinders kept the back four out high.
"I got a bit of stick from their fans but that's part of the game."
