TartanTranmere, I don't accept that we must win on Friday, though I'd very much like it to happen. I wouldn't even put this game into a mustn't lose category as there are still enough games left to get the points for safety, while accepting your view about the effect that defeat could have on our morale and that of the chasing pack. The gist of my first post on this thread was the form-book in the 9 away losses and the history-book given Pools poor record at PP make me share your lack of confidence; "bound to win sometime..."
If we lose, then we're dependent on Wycombe beating Exeter to stay out of the bottom four. I don't think that's impossible as Wycombe's form is fair and they still can escape, a draw is the most likely outcome there. If we get a point on Friday, Exeter have to win to overtake us. A point would mean we're still only a win off overtaking Hartlepool too.
