Jeff Stelling believes Hartlepool United 'definitely' making progress under Pete Wild

Although Pools have lost three of their five National League games since Wild replaced Lee Clark as head coach at the beginning of last month, there have been plenty of encouraging signs under the new boss.

Having picked up much-needed victories over managerless Forest Green Rovers and newly-promoted Hornchurch, recovering from a goal and a man down to win thanks to late strikes from Will Harris and Luke Charman, Pools came agonisingly close to becoming the first team to get the better of the almost all-conquering Boreham Wood last time out.
