Pool have been dreadful away from home, particularly at night. Hostile crowds, unsympathetic Refs and under opposition floodlights, they have wilted. We have no reason to suppose anything will change on Tuesday, but hope springs eternal. Pool showed us something last Saturday in the last 20 mins which has been conspicuously absent through this woeful sequence; fight, spirit and sheer bloody mindedness in their determination to not become the victim is a Referee’s aberration. If they play like THAT for the next few weeks, anything is possible. But will they ?
