The Matches

Brighton v Millwall Drew 2-2 League

A good game today saw us take a point from a tough ground. Brighton went ahead on 20 minutes after Day kept hold of the ball too long. 35 minutes gone and Solksjaer scores a great goal on his debut. Brighton took the lead again on 78 minutes when spector found himself in trouble and Brighton took advantage of it. Solksjaer finished off a great debut on 80 minutes as harris played him through to slot the ball past the keeper. harris also got MOM.

Millwall v Bristol City Won 1-0 League

Another tough game this after noon saw us entertain Bristol City at The Den. Things looked bad for us on 35 minutes as Srioux gave away a penalty. Fortunately Bristol couldnt score from the spot and the scores stayed 0-0. We scored the winning goal on 57 minutes as Solskjaer crossed the ball for Bakke who smashed the ball into the top corner of the goal. Super strike. A great win is what we needed to drag us out of the relegation fight for the time being.

Wolverhampton v Millwall Drew 1-1 League

A tough trip to Wolves today as they needed the points to stay inthe hunt for automatic promotion and we needed the points just to stay in the league. They took advantage on 38 minutes as Sturridge got behind my defence and shot a ball past the Keeper. 1-0. They piled on the pressure but we kept the scoreline to 1-0. We finally saved a point on 73 minutes as another super shot from Bakke nearly broke the net, a great goal to make it 1-1.


Millwall v Norwich Won 1-0 League

Today saw two of the manager battle it out in a relegation clash. It was a must win for both teams. It was a very tight game with both teams having some great passing moves which nearly got both a goal. Darren Huckerby grabbed the winner on half time as he scored a well worked goal. norwich continued to press but our new keeper Kuszczak kept them out and fully deserved his Man of the Match. This win saw us go further away from the bottom 3.

The Manager !!

Hartlepool – The rouchie years

Having moved the team into 9th place Rouch was forced to leave things in the asst managers hands for a few games while he looked at some transfer targets.

Versus Reading (A) 4th November 2006

The assistant took control against Reading in an away fixture which saw a huge crowd of over 17 thousand fans. A 1-1 draw was the result with Tinkler getting the MOM and Strachan getting the equalising goal

Final Score Reading 1 Hartlepool 1
Goals : Hartlepool Strachan (78)
Reading Jamie Hand (10)
ATT 17344

Versus Stoke (H) 8th November 2006

Goals : Stoke Parkin (Pen 34)
ATT 7593
MOM : Steve Sidwell (Stoke)

Versus Wyecombe (A) 12th November 2006 – FA Cup 1st Round

The FA cup provided some welcome relief during the managers continued absence and the arseistant actually managed a win!! :eek: A Steve Williams OG and an Eifion Williams (no relation honest!) strike just before the break was enough to secure the win! Gareth Williams performance between the posts earned him the MOM accolade

[I Final Score Hartlepool 1 Barnsley 0
Goals : Hartlepool S Williams (OG 20) E Williams (45)
ATT 9047
MOM : Gareth Williams (Hartlepool) [/I]

Versus Rotherham (H) 18th November 2006

With Paul Rouch returning to find the team sitting 12th you could be sure of some reaction in this game! Eifion Williams playing in place of the out of favour Adam Boyd, was in fine form and grabbed a fine hatrick Rotherhams response was a case of too little too late when Will Hoskins pulled one back with just 10 minutes to go Williams Hatrick was enough to earn the MOM award :thup:

[I Final Score Hartlepool 3 Rotherham 1
Goals : Hartlepool Williams (5, 40, 65)
Rotherham Hoskins (80)
ATT 6564
MOM : Eifion Williams (Hartlepool) [/I]

Versus Walsall (A) 25th November 2006

Away to Walsall and the manger still simmering about the performances in his absence which saw the team slip to 12th ensured there would be 100% application for this one! Strachan opened the scoring and Jones doubled the advantage well before the break . Walsall were unable to respond and Hartlepool ran out comfortable winners with Strachan picking up the MOM champagne :cool:

[I Final Score Walsall 0 Hartlepool 2
Goals : Hartlepool Strachan (19) Jones (34)
ATT 5739
MOM : Gavin Strachan (Hartlepool) [/I]

Versus Stockport (A) 29th November 2006

The last game of the month was against the mighty Stockport and another sterling performance from Strachan in the midfield helped marshal another three points for the ‘pool! Williams opened the scoring and Hamill grabbed a temporary equaliser for Stockport before Jones re-established the lead 2 minutes later! Strachan sealed his MOM nawar in the second half with a stunning strike to seal the victory and pushed the monkey hangers into a play off contention spot!!

[I Final Score Stockport 1 Hartlepool 3

Stockport Hamill (30)

The Owls Observer - It's drawing heaven for the Owls!!!

With almost half the season gone already Hepburn's Owls find themselves sitting in 11th position after seventeen games and a place in the Carling Cup semi finals against Tottenham. It has been a superb season so far for the Owls considering the club's financial worries. Here is a run down of the latest games....

The League Campaign

Man City v Sheffield Wednesday - (A) - 1-1

After that extraordinary performance at home to Arsenal it was back onto their travels for the Owls. The Owls came into the game with City full of confidence but found a City side on a great run as well. Both teams started brightly with City having the better of the chances created and found themsleves one up after only seven minutes through Anelka. They went onto dominate most of the first half and but for some poor finishing could have been further ahead. The Owls were just glad to be going in at half time only 1-0 down. Hepburn knew he had to change things and went 442 with Mokoena being given a free role to do what he wanted. it proved a successful change as the owls started the second half a lot better and had City under alot of pressure. The Owls goal came from an unlikely source in Sama from a corner but Hepburn wasn't complaining. The Wosl should have went on to win the game as they created some great opportunites but David james was the City hero as he kept the owls out and the game finished 1-1. A poor first half was made for with a great second half showing to at least get a point from a difficult game.

Sheffield Wednesday v Liverpool - (H) - 1-1

Yet another huge match at Hillsborough as the Owls welcomed Liverpool with their assortment of superstars. The game was a really tight tense affair with no one team dominating the game. The Owls stifled the midfield to combat Gerrard and co and it worked although it meant the Owls were not the attacking force they usually are. Mokoena put the Owls ahead with less than twenty minutes to play with the Owls first real menaingful attack in the game but Liverpool repsonded almost immediately through Milan Baros and the points were shared. Two draws in a row were better than no points at all for the Owls.

Middlesboro v Sheffield Wednesday - (A) - 1-0 Defeat

The Owls' mini unbeaten run came to an end against bottom doge Middlesboro who really tore the Owls apart with some fantastic football. Hepburn was far from happy with his team's performance and kept the players in the dressing room long after the final whistle. The only plus point in this game was the fact that it was only 1-0 as the Owls were terrible today.

Sheffield Wednesday v Blackburn - (H) - 1-1

The Owls' failure to find that winning touch was starting to concern Hepburn who had seen his team draw two games and lose against Middlesboro and in the process only score two goals. This game was dominated by the away side as the Owls struggled to cope with John Stead and Morten Gamst Pedersen. They had David Lucas to thank as he had a fine game in the Owls goal. Against the run of play however, the Owls took a shock lead through Guy Demel who fired in a great shot form the edge of the area after a Harbuzi cut back. The Owls fans thought they would go and take control of the game as did Hepburn but Blackburn battled back into the game and managed to score an equaliser through Jonathan Stead and it was deserved as they had been the better team throughout. Yet another draw for the Owls but it was the performance that really worried Hepburn as his team are just not playing to their full potential at the moment.

Sheffield Wednesday v Southampton - (H) - 0-0

The Owls put in a much better performance against Southampton but again drew a blank in front of goal as the finishing from the Owls was not Premiership standard. Hepburn was pleased with the performance overall as he admitted they had not been playing well recently and said his team would be looking to build on this performance.

The League Cup Experience

So in the third round of the league cup Birmingham made the trip to Hillsborough and the Owls quickly sent them packing out of the League Cup in what was a great performance from the Owls. The tie was over at half time as the Owls were 2-0 up courtesy of a double from Mokoena. Birmingham tried to mount a comeback in the second half but the Owls defence was up to the challenge. Ryan Smith made it 3-0 in injury time to cap a fine team performance from the Owls.

In round four the Owls had to go to Millmoor to face Rotherham in what proved to be a testing game as Rotherham played way above themselves and gave the Owls a huge shock with their approach. It took two second half goals from Luis Costa to save the Owls blushes and send them through to the Quarter Finals with a tie against Aston Villa at Hillsborough. In the quarter final it was a real showpiece. It was end to end football of the highest quality that could not be settled until the dreaded penalty shootout. It was a case of hero turned to villian for Daniel Bierofka as he had equalised for Villa during the game but missed the penalty that sent the Owls through to the semi finals of the League Cup where they will face Tottenham.
