Hartlepool United manager Dave Challinor hints at potential changes for Woking despite impressive midweek win against King's Lynn Town

Pools picked up their first home win since the opening weekend of the season as they beat King’s Lynn Town 2-0 on Tuesday night.

Challinor played a 4-4-2 and made six changes for the game, including debutant Luke Armstrong – whose brace proved to be the difference between the sides.

Ben Killip, Mark Shelton, Timi Odusina and Rhys Oates returned to the starting line-up and 17-year-old Joe Grey was handed his first league start for the club.

After an important win, there’s always a reluctance to change a winning side. But with Challinor expecting a different battle at the Laithwaite Community Stadium this weekend, he hasn’t ruled out making a few tweaks.

“The easiest thing to do would be to say nothing needs to change,” said the Pools boss.

“But Saturday is a different game from Tuesday night, whether personnel will change is something we’re having a look at. The majority if not most of it will be the same but we’re against a different team with a different shape and potentially a different style.

"We’re away from home which doesn’t affect what we’ll be looking to do because we have a way that we’ll look to play that we think will cause them problems.

" We’ve got to be respectful and aware of what they do. Those positives we showed the other night, hopefully we can continue with that and take more positives from the game on Saturday.”
