Our Hartlepool United writer Robbie Stelling has taken a look at five players who could be given the chance to impress when Pools begin their bid to make it to Wembley for the first time ever on Saturday.
5. Nathan Ferguson
Given that Nathan Sheron has started all 24 games this season, the Pools vice-captain could be in line for a well-deserved rest at the weekend, opening up at least one space in the engine room. While Featherstone could turn to the out of favour Brad Walker, former Maidenhead midfielder Ferguson appears to be ahead of him in the pecking order at this stage. The 30-year-old has made a negligible impact since signing in September but his one league start to date came in Featherstone's first National League game at the helm, suggesting the new boss must see something in the Guyanese international.
