Pete Wild hails Hartlepool United's 'effort and desire' despite 'frustrating' AFC Fylde defeat
28.10.26, 13:27 5 Minute Read
Pete Wild felt Hartlepool United "gave effort and desire in abundance" after three late goals condemned Pools to a 3-1 midweek defeat to AFC Fylde.
For a long time, Pools looked to be heading for what would have been a third consecutive National League win only for three goals in the final 13 minutes of normal time to turn the contest on its head.
Having recovered from going a goal and a man down at home to newly-promoted Hornchurch at the weekend, Pools found themselves on the wrong end of a second half comeback against the play-off chasing Coasters.
In Wild's own words, it was a game of "fine margins". Had Pools held on and returned home with all three points, they would have moved to within six of the play-off places. As it turned out, Wild's side dropped one place in the table to 20th and are only above the relegation zone on goal difference.
