Hartlepool United make two changes for trip to promotion-chasing Boreham Wood

Hartlepool United have made two changes for this afternoon's long trip to Boreham Wood.

Having lined up in a 3-4-3 formation during Easter Monday's hard-fought goalless draw with title-chasing Rochdale, Pools look set to revert back to a 4-3-2-1 in Hertfordshire.

Skipper Tom Parkes returns to the heart of the defence, with Nathan Sheron dropping to the bench, while Charlie Caton replaces Adam Campbell, who misses out altogether.

Nick Hayes continues in goal, looking to keep a third successive clean sheet against a Wood side who are the National League's second highest scorers.

Jay Benn, so impressive in recent weeks, and Cameron John line up either side of Parkes and the in-form Maxim Kouogun, with Jack Hunter partnering Jamie Miley in midfield; former Newcastle man Miley has featured in all of his side's league games so far this term.

In attack, Caton, Matty Daly and Tyrese Sinclair are set to start in support of Alex Reid, bidding to end a run of three games without a goal.

Pools (4-2-3-1): Hayes; Benn, Kouogun, Parkes (c), John; Hunter, Miley; Caton, Daly, Sinclair; Reid
