The good, the bad and the indifferent: Hartlepool United's start to the season assessed

It's been difficult to gauge exactly whether Hartlepool United have made a good, bad or indifferent start to the season under new manager Darren Sarll. When Pools came from behind to beat Boston in midweek and rise into the play-offs, supporters were generally in agreement that things were heading in the right direction. Yet fans were, understandably, less than impressed after Saturday's decidedly disappointing defeat to bottom club Ebbsfleet. It might be slightly too early to judge, but it's been a mixed start for Pools - at this level, a fanbase largely starved of success are unlikely to accept another season of mid-table mediocrity.
