00:00I'm here at the Prestige Group Stadium where Hartlepool United have failed to win for the
00:04eighth game in succession following a 1-1 draw with Solihull Moors.
00:09Pools had hoped to end a turbulent week on a high note following the dramatic resignation
00:13of chairman Raj Singh on Tuesday which leaves the club with less than two months to secure
00:19their financial future.
00:22Anthony Lindbergh made one change from last weekend's draw with Eastleigh as Louis Stevenson
00:28replaced the stricken Dan Dodds who was expected to be out for a few weeks after trudging off
00:33holding his hamstring last Saturday in Hampshire.
00:36Pools started the game pretty well.
00:38They created a number of chances in the first half, albeit they still lacked a little bit
00:42of clinicality, killer instinct and cutting edge in the final third.
00:46Southampton loanee Ongi Wright produced a number of decent saves, particularly from
00:51Manny Disaroy denying him after a sharp turn in the box and later on in the first half
00:56following a header from close range.
00:58Pools took the lead nine minutes into the second half when Tom Parks headed home Jamie
01:02Mindley's free kick but they lost momentum following a bizarre delay of almost 20 minutes
01:07after the floodlight at the Prestige Group Stadium went out following a power cut in
01:11the area.
01:12Solihull rallied and Manny Duku, who was coached by Anthony Lindbergh in Gibraltar, headed
01:20home two minutes from time following substitute John Bostock's pinpoint free kick.
01:26There were 14 minutes of added time and Pools huffed and puffed in search of a winner but
01:30their disappointing winless run continued.
