Pete Wild 'so pleased' following first win as Hartlepool United head coach

Having been narrowly beaten by strugglers Tamworth during his first game in charge, Wild celebrated a much-needed victory as Pools beat managerless Forest Green Rovers 4-2 at the weekend.

Fans will be hoping that their side's impressive victory in Gloucestershire proves to be a turning point in what's been a miserable campaign so far, with Pools ending a dismal run of six National League defeats in a row at The New Lawn.

Having been touted as possible title contenders ahead of the new season, Pools won both of their opening two games without conceding before a run of nine defeats in 10 games saw them slide down the table and into the relegation zone.
