'Wolf pack back together' - Hartlepool United fans react as Gavan Holohan is one of three changes to Graeme Lee's starting XI for Oldham Athletic clash
and live on Freeview channel 276
Hartlepool United begin the new year at the Suit Direct Stadium with the visit of bottom-of-the-table Oldham Athletic looking to get back to winning ways after a disappointing collapse in Boxing Day’s 3-2 defeat at Mansfield Town.
And following Lee’s admission to there being ‘a few’ new COVID-19 cases within the Pools camp Lee has named made three changes to the side who lost at Mansfield six days ago.

Hide AdMidfielder Gavan Holohan returns to the starting XI for the first time since early November and for the first time under Lee while there is a double change in attack for Pools.
Luke Molyneux gave Pools the lead at Mansfield last week but finds himself on the bench while strike partner Mark Cullen misses out altogether.
Millwall loan man Tyler Burey is given his first start since September having recovered from a hamstring injury and he will be partnered by Jordan Cook who makes his fifth appearance since arriving in the summer.
And Pools fans have reacted to Lee’s first team selection of 2022.
