Hartlepool United boss Pete Wild makes two changes for Wealdstone clash
Team news has been confirmed for Hartlepool United’s showdown with Wealdstone at Victoria Park on Saturday afternoon.
Hartlepool United boss Pete Wild has named his starting XI for Saturday afternoon’s National League clash against Wealdstone, making two changes from last time out.
The FA Cup afforded Pools a rare Saturday afternoon without action last weekend, meaning that Wild’s men have not played since they suffered an agonising 4-3 defeat at the hands of table-topping Boreham Wood on Halloween.
Eager to bounce back from that disappointment, Wild has brought both Liam Gibson and Jordan Hugill into the team for today’s clash.
Max Merrick starts between the sticks, with Gibson, Max Kouogun, captain Reiss McNally, and Max Clark at the back. In midfield, Jamie Miley and Nathan Sheron feature, with Cole Deeming and Jack Nolan out wide. Will Harris will play just off Hugill at the point of attack.
