Transcript

00:00Here at the Cuthlink Stadium following a really disappointing afternoon for Darren Siles,

00:05Hartlepool United, who lost on the road for just the second time this season against an

00:09Ebbsfleet side who came into the game without a win in their first eight matches. But under

00:14new manager Harry Watling made the most of the so-called new manager bounce against a

00:19Poole side who were decidedly flat and lacked a bit in attacking areas. Rakish Bingham,

00:24former Poole's frontman, his goal made the difference five minutes before the first half

00:28came to an end after what Darren Siles described as a circus of defending. Tom Parks rather

00:34got caught underneath the ball and Bingham's deflected effort fired the Fleets in front.

00:38Poole's huffed and puffed. Darren Siles made lots of second half changes and they finished

00:41the game with effectively six attacking players on the pitch. But Manny Disarue's late effort

00:47which he dragged wide of the near post was the only real chance that Poole's had on a

00:51really frustrating afternoon.
