We are a couple of players and a good manager away from being able to do something in this league.

Agree regards Ponticelli,, looks poor

Good win ,, proper test in Tuesday

Just watching Wealdstone v Sutton....Suttons front 2 are so active, with or without the ball. They press high up the field and are both quick and can finish, they don't give the defenders any time to relax. So very different to what our strikers dished up this afternoon! We desperately need new blood up top in January and a manager that encourages them to progress beyond the half way line��

Cracking strike

Fairly open game with both teams lacking in the final third.

Happy to take the win, 2 in a row with no goals conceded in the last 3.

Don’t see us flirting with relegation this season, but can’t rely on 1 goal wins all season.

The takeover will be completed soon and we should be able to look forward to improvements on the field in the coming months, it’s been a good week and time to chill out and enjoy the ride ahead.

It's been our problem since Moult left 5 years ago. We just didn't have the cash for the quality upfront, now we have

They are not going to give Keates £2 mill to play with, soon as the takeover is completed Keates and the rest of his useless team will be gone it's a cert.

I really hope you're right. Sentiment could see us miss out on promotion with the salary cap handicapping us next season

This season could be our best chance. Let's not waste it by keeping Keates

Didn’t watch the game as fishing is more fun but 3 more points to safety #Keatesout

Deserved the win for working hard ..Aldershot like Hartlepool average but also worked hard..
Young MOTM (great strike too). Durrell did well again...Harris also dug in...Midfield won the game as they probably did in midweek.

Not sure about criticism of Ponticelli..he ran the channels far more than Thomas..Not sure what the tactics are as it seems to be hoof it up to Thomas by pass midfield and see what happens..I'm not one to single out people but someone like Rutherford does twice the work of someone like Thomas.. Be just the same with a mannequin up front..He rarely holds the ball or closes down
When midfield get involved and Rekord or Horsefield get forward we play a bit..How the goal came about today.
Ponticelli would maybe benefit from Jarvis...playing through balls. Can't see why Davies is not played out wide.

The team held shape well enough, worked hard but it was far from spectacular.

I'll take the 1-0 wins all season though Keates or not..It was probably a good win as Aldershot played us off the pitch a couple of seasons ago
