Hartlepool head coach Pete Wild remains encouraged despite his side losing 4-3 to Boreham Wood in stoppage time.
Hartlepool United lost 4-3 to Boreham Wood in the National League, with Zak Brunt equalising at 3-3 before Matt Rush scored in the 92nd minute. The visitors had stormed back after half-time, scoring three goals in the first 14 minutes of the second half to overturn a two-goal deficit.
The defeat left Hartlepool in the relegation zone, but head coach Pete Wild expressed optimism about the direction of the club. "I'm really encouraged by what I've seen," he told BBC Radio Tees. "They're moving in the right direction, they're harder to play against and they're working hard for the club."
Wild has been in charge for a month during which Hartlepool won two of five league games in October. "The lads are buying into what we're asking them to do," he said. "I can see that on the training ground and I can see that on the pitch, we just have to keep moving in the right direction." The club has a gap until their next league match at home to Wealdstone on 14 November.
