Hartlepool 1-1 Barnsley

Last updated : 19 March 2006 By Rob Miles (barnsley Boy)

"I am not happy at all with a point because we wanted all three from the game. We did not get to grips with them at all in the first 20 minutes and could have been three down really but I think we scored at a good time. We finished the first half strongly and wanted to carry that on.

"I think the second half was pretty even although we carved out the better chances. They had a great opportunity right at the end when we could have self destructed again but we managed to hang in there.

"We are still up there although we really could have done with the extra two points today. Oldham are right up with us now and we are looking over our shoulders but we will keep going.

"We have to start believing in ourselves again and push forward. I am glad that we are back at Oakwell next week and we need to beat Bournemouth".
