John Askey is still searching for his first win in charge having earned two draws in his first two games as manager.
Askey’s side fought from 3-1 down against Walsall before seeing a one goal lead slip against Tranmere Rovers.

And here is how we predict Pools to line-up against the Cobblers including whether Josh Umerah will return.
