Blair Adams discusses THAT goal, Pools' struggles and a key change that brought improvement at Aldershot
Well, in senior football in anyway.
Adams netted a magical equaliser which eventually counted for nothing down in Hampshire on Tuesday night.
And he admitted it felt like rolling back the years.
“I have only ever scored three goals like that in senior football, so it was definitely my best,” he said.

“I have scored a few like it youth football. Ged McNamee can vouch for that from our time at Sunderland.
“On a personal note, it was good but we got nothing from the game. At the end of the day, that’s all that matters.”
Pools were much improved from their Ebbsfleet surrender down at the EBB Stadium.
Adams suggests it was to do with the players’ intensity.

“We came here to get the win, even though we went behind.
“For us, we know that the games are running out in this division.
“We are well aware of that in the dressing room.
“It is now time to grind it out.
“We need to get out of this dogfight. Hopefully with that things off the field improve, too. But first and foremost we must do our own jobs.”
