Pete Wild admits 'there's a lot of work still to do' following Hartlepool United's much-needed win over managerless Forest Green Rovers

Having been narrowly beaten by strugglers Tamworth during his first game in charge, Wild secured his first victory as Pools boss thanks to an impressive showing in Gloucestershire against a rudderless Forest Green.

Supporters and Wild himself likely breathed a big sigh of relief on Saturday as Pools ended a dismal run of six successive defeats.

Having been talked up as potential National League title contenders ahead of the new campaign, Pools won both of their opening two matches without conceding before a run of nine losses in 10 games saw them plummet down the table and into the relegation zone.
