That's better Reds, very smart finish from Gilbey on the turn to make it 1-2..

We've needed to react and score like this in the league. Would have been a healthier season.

HP keeper has to gather smartly under pressure from Burstow.

They’ll be dancing in the streets of Woolwich tonight.

Burstow is a natural goal scorer. 
I said that the first time I saw him play. 

Said similar to bloke next to me watching him warming up before burton away.

Must keep hold of him

Burton away he was the only one in the warm up able to score !

36: Pools work another good opportunity, but Crawford's shot doesn't quite bend enough and it's wide. 1-2

Any bets on what time Golfie pipes up to tell us this doesn’t count as a “Golfie” because it’s not in the league?

Edit: Ha! Just noticed you’ve already commented Golfie! 😂

HP have a free kick midway in our half, comes into our area, and Morgan attempts to clear, doesn't quite manage it, but blocks the attempted shot.

36' Crawford curls an effort just wide for the hosts. #pools 1 #cafc 2

aliwibble

HP come forward again, and have another shot from just outside the area, which just goes wide.

supaclive

Since Watson has come in, they're able to shoot at will from distance. 

It's like last season all over again.

VFR ringing out from the travelling Addicks,..

killerandflash

Would have been a lovely goal for Crawford that if that had curled in

aliwibble

Morgan tripped on the halfway line and we have a free kick.

FishCostaFortune

Does worry me that I’m watching another team who I feel moves the ball more effectively than we do.

Then again we are 2-1 up so does it really matter. 

aliwibble

After some good work from Gilbey and Leko, we end up going all the way back to McG... 🙄

I was going to post that in my post a minute before yours.....but didnt want to sound churlish  😂

Watson is a tidy player who keeps the ball ticking over, but he's not a defensive shield.

That’ll be due to all the gear floating around there

Erk, Famewo comes down the left and looks like he might be in trouble but draws the foul and wins the free kick

Shame he's playing central just in front of our back 4 then!

aliwibble

Ball comes into their area, but it's headed away, pings about a bit, and out for a throw, which HP try to take quickly but the ref's not happy and makes them retake it.

SSN discussing Birmingham have terrible owners who the fans do not like, Bowyer should be used to that
