Yes, the fantastic run that Hartlepool have been on looks like ending this week, as Danny Wilson seems to be a nailed on certainty for the Divisional Manager of the Month.

‘Pools have won all five games in February, including wins against their promotion rivals, in the shape of the Saddlers and Swindon away. The MoM award this season, however, has been even more of a poison chalice then ever, as it seems to have been followed by a major or minor slump in form for every recipient.

Wilson is up against Darlington boss Dave Penney, Stockport’s Jim Gannon and Shrewsbury’s Gary Peters and the winner will be announced on Thursday morning by Chris Kamara.
