Come on Pool, hold on!

Jerry Yates replaces Shayne Lavery. Four minutes plus stoppage time to hold on.

Space opens up for Shayne Lavery on the break, but the striker opts to delay and the chance goes to waste. He had to shoot when it opened up for him!

Pool almost pegged back immediately as Boro sub Martin Payero hits the crossbar with a curling effort on the edge of the box. But Pool survive.
