Wins are only way to ease Pools problems
Hartlepool United head coach Anthony Limbrick says that the only way he and his players can help the club's current situation is by winning matches are looking for a buyer following the resignation of chairman-owner Raj Singh last have been assured until the end of the season but there are no guarantees beyond that, although early 'talks' have been held with interested with Hartlepool slipping to 15th in the National League and on a run of eight games without a win, Limbrick knows that must change to lift morale. "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."

Middlesbrough focused on own form
Middlesbrough must not start looking at the form of other teams in their chase for the Championship play-offs, according to goalkeeper Mark drew 0-0 at Luton on Saturday and are three points adrift of the top six as they enter the international break."The main thing for us and the club is to just focus on us," Travers told BBC Radio Tees."When you start adding up points your next fixture becomes really difficult and you end up putting pressure on yourselves and thinking about things that aren't in your control."All we can do is go to the next game after the international break, try to get a win and push up the table - we'll just focus on what we can do and hopefully that'll be more than enough come May."The Republic of Ireland international joined Middlesbrough on loan from Bournemouth at the end of the January transfer window and has played nine league games, keeping two clean sheets."It's hard coming in January when a lot of the games are being played but I was excited to come here and all the boys have been great with me and it's been easy to settle," he return to action after the international break on 29 March when they host Oxford United.

Conway steps up as Boro rediscover winning touch
Middlesbrough striker Tommy Conway says the 3-1 win at Stoke City on Tuesday night "means everything" to the team after ending a run of five straight eased the pressure around Michael Carrick with victory in the Potteries that moved them back within four points of the play-off spots."Everyone knows the run we've been on hasn't been a good one over the past couple of weeks and we've been trying to put it right but for some reason it hasn't been falling for us," Conway told BBC Radio Tees."But I thought everyone put in a fantastic performance. Credit to everyone, I'm just buzzing for everyone that we've managed to come away with three points."Conway was on the scoresheet at the bet365 Stadium for the second game in a row and took his Championship goal tally for the season into double 22-year-old scored 12 in all competitions, in each of his two previous campaigns with Bristol City, but is now on-pace to eclipse that personal Scotland international is helping fill the void left by Emmanuel Latte Lath's departure and says he is "100%" hitting form now after a five-week absence because of a hamstring injury."Getting back into the rhythm of playing games week in, week out - we know the relentlessness of the Championship," Conway added."I'm just trying to do my job and score goals. I feel like I'm getting better and better every game and hopefully that continues."Conway also believes Middlesbrough can get their play-off bid back on track and continue to close the four-point gap to the top six with struggling Derby County the visitors to the Riverside on Saturday."When we're not winning football matches, we're not doing our jobs and it affects us," Conway added."When you win games, it ultimately goes the other way and you start getting your confidence back and everyone starts believing again."If we take that into the next couple of games leading up to the international break, I think we'll be right up there."
