For those who are not paying attention, pool is up to 6th in the table and on a bit of a run. Slow start but finding their legs.

I really liked their away kits

(and it's funny their adult kits are age-restricted for purchase.)
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

Yeah well it is an age restricted sponsor. Did you see the kid this weekend who made his debut but had to wear a sponsor less shirt.

Man, those kits are an optical illusion when scrolling down the screen. Could double for a Tennessee Volunteers jersey.

Great tidbit from the MiB daily podcast
Over the weekend Bolton played at Bloomfield Rd (4-1 win to the good guys). The last time Bolton won at Bloomfield was the day Starwars was released.

Pool are 4 points out of promotion playoff and have a game in hand. If they can make up those points they would be in the playoff due to GD.

Only one spot out of the playoffs for promotion. But, only two games remaining, and the team they have to catch, Oxford, leads by two points and has a game in hand.

1 game to play
1 point back of playoff
tied on GD with the team in 5th but way back with 6th and 7th.

#8 Pool have reading who is way back in the table
#7 Oxford have exeter who is mid table
#6 Lincoln have top of the table Portsmouth who have nothing to play for
#5 Barnsley have down the table Northampton Town.

Not looking good for the Pool

Lots of anger (and shockingly, for current day Twitter, no spammers) in the replies there.

It’s on CBS Sports Network if you have that. Foggy day in Wales. Pool up early.

Kind of the opposite. They gave up late equalizers in their previous two games.

But the penalty call was a little harsh. Like what you’re doing to my vibe right now.
