Pete Wild confident Hartlepool United players are 'buying into' what he's asking them to do

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

Having been beaten 1-0 at home by fellow strugglers Tamworth in his first game in charge - in fairness, Wild was only appointed on the Thursday of the week leading up to the match, meaning he had just one training session to get to grips with his new squad - Pools secured a much-needed win over managerless Forest Green Rovers in Gloucestershire.
