Hartlepool United name unchanged team for visit of bottom side Truro City
Hartlepool United have named an unchanged team ahead of this afternoon's visit of bottom side Truro City.
Pools are looking to extend their unbeaten run to seven National League games under interim boss Nicky Featherstone, who has now been in temporary charge at Victoria Park for seven weeks.
Standing in their way are strugglers Truro, who are managed by former Pools boss John Askey and will make the 872-mile round trip between Cornwall and the North East rooted to the football of the table and already seven points adrift of safety having lost eight and drawn two of their 10 away matches so far this term.
Featherstone has kept faith with the same Pools XI who were so impressive during last weekend's commanding 2-0 win over Eastleigh, meaning Millwall loanee George Evans, bidding to keep a fourth clean sheet in six appearances, continues in goal behind a back four of Cameron John, skipper Tom Parkes, Maxim Kouogun and Jay Benn.
Nathan Sheron, who scored his second goal of the season thanks to a superb long range strike at the Silverlake Stadium, retains his place in the engine room, meaning he is set to set his 23th game in succession this term.
Sheron lines up alongside Jack Hunter, who has started all eight games under Featherstone having been used sparingly at the start of the season, and Jamie Miley.
The resurgent Adam Campbell continues in attack along with Matty Daly, in support of the talismanic Alex Reid.
Pools (4-2-3-1): Evans; Benn, Kouogun, Parkes (c), John; Sheron, Hunter; Campbell, Miley, Daly; Reid
