Hartlepool boss Chris Turner says he has concerns over his side's fitness after they lost a two-goal lead in their game against Swindon.

Pools' conceded two quick goals in the second-half after Antony Sweeney and Adam Boyd gave Turner's side the lead.

He told BBC Tees: "The game lasts for 90 minutes and we need to have players who can play for 90 minutes.

"We've got to keep working on the training ground and be at our maximum for the whole game to get the win."

The Pools' boss continued: "We were slashing at clearances and mistiming tackles, which in the first-half we weren't doing.

"We did enough in the first-half but we saw too many tired legs in the second-half and too many long balls."
