00:00Yeah, I mean, big blows, both of them. I think that was, we anticipated that they would be
00:06significant blows, but it was laid bare for all to see on Saturday. I mean, last season,
00:12one of the biggest complaints often levelled against Pools was the lack of pace in the side.
00:16Joe Gray was really the only player who was able to inject the pace into the team last season,
00:22and they have added a bit more speed to their ranks this season. Adam Campbell's pretty quick,
00:28obviously. He's been out injured as well. I know Lenny Lawrence is hoping to have him
00:31back in contention to play potentially at least some part against Woking this weekend. Luke
00:37Charman as well is really pretty quick, especially when he gets going. He can be difficult to stop,
00:42and he was back in the side after missing the game against Oldham on New Year's Day
00:47through personal reasons. But nonetheless, they are really big blows. I mean, ironically,
00:53just when we were arriving at the ground, I was chatting to a couple of people and I said,
00:56well, they've had pretty good luck with injuries so far this season in general,
01:00and they're going to need to have some more luck. They're going to need to be able to keep most of
01:05their squad fully fit if they're to challenge for the playoffs. And lo and behold, an hour later,
01:10we were met with the news that both Gray and Mancini were set for considerable spells.
