This next block of fixtures is going to be really important.
00:02
Pools are at home to Songha Helmholtz, who have had a similar trajectory, actually,
00:06
to themselves in the last couple of months, since they lost manager Andy Wing to Barrow.
00:11
Matt Tang has come in and he's had a difficult start. They've fallen away
00:17
as well, and fans are pretty frustrated there, too.
00:22
They then host Ebbsley, who are bottom, Boston United, who are second bottom,
00:26
and they go to Halifax as well in between those two games.
00:31
If you look at their end of the season, I think they've got Gateshead, Forest Green,
00:35
Rochdale and Oldham, all sides challenging for the playoffs at the very least.
00:39
So that's going to be a really difficult end to the campaign.
00:43
The one thing you don't want to do is you don't want to go into those final four matches still
00:46
needing points to secure the National League status, of course.
00:50
Pools will fail so they can go and get something from all of those games,
00:53
but you don't want to leave it to chance.
00:55
I think you've got to make the most of a run of winnable games here.
01:00
Lindbergh is notoriously difficult to predict when it comes to team selection.
01:05
I've certainly been feeling the heat of that, Rich, when it comes to my
01:08
predicted 11s. Again, he surprised us a bit by going back to the 3-5-2.
01:14
I've said in the past I would really like to see him pin his colours to the mast and say,
01:18
this is my best team. I will change things occasionally, but I want to give
01:23
a set of 11 players a run in the side.
01:27
Because watching them on Saturday against Eastley, while there were some
01:32
positive signs, it looked a bit like a side that had rarely played together.
