And Lee will have a difficult job on his hands when it comes to naming his starting XI after Pools claimed an FA Cup scalp at the weekend over Lincoln City.
Victory over the Imps followed an equally impressive display at Hillsborough three days earlier as Pools comfortably beat Sheffield Wednesday in the Papa John’s Trophy.
And while Lee has admitted he would like to give everyone in his squad an opportunity, it means he has a decision to make on whether to change a winning team or mix things up for the visit of Rochdale.
Pools have lost their last five League Two games making Wednesday’s fixture an important one.
And here at The Mail we give our predicted XI for the Rochdale clash with Lee to make four changes to his starting line-up.

Killip has been Pools' number one in the league this season and while Jonathan Mitchell has done well when replacing him this season, Killip may have done enough in Saturday's display to keep the gloves. Picture by FRANK REID Photo: Frank Reid

Sterry completed his suspension on Saturday and should return for the visit of Rochdale but will be kept on his toes after an impressive display from Reagan Ogle at Lincoln. (Credit: Will Matthews | MI News) Photo: Will Matthews
3. Luke Hendrie
Hendrie may be the first to benefit from Lee's desire to see his squad in action. Timi Odusina has performed well in the last week but three games in a week may dictate a rest for him with Hendrie coming in. (Credit: Will Matthews | MI News) Photo: Will Matthews
4. Gary Liddle
It's a big game for Pools and Liddle is a big player. Expect him to start in defence. (Credit: Will Matthews | MI News) Photo: Will Matthews
