"We need to win and make the place happy," the Australian told BBC Radio Tees."That will then help with the things that are going on off the pitch, as well." Hartlepool, who play Boston United at Victoria Park on Saturday, have had a division-high 16 draws in 38 games this season. That has kept them away from the play-off race but clear of the relegation fight, but Limbrick wants to end the campaign with a positive run. "If we, as players and staff, get too caught up in what is going on off the pitch, then we're not doing a service to the fans in terms of what we're doing and getting wins for them," he said."They haven't seen enough wins and it's our job to fix that."
