Here's how our Hartlepool United writer expects Pools to line up at Roots Hall. Do you agree?
9. Attacking-midfield: Adam Campbell
Another who has struggled with an injury this week, Campbell was left out of the squad on Tuesday following a groin strain. Like Charman, he was expected to train before Pools travelled to Essex and his impressive performances of late means he's a shoo-in to continue in the side as long as he can prove his fitness. Anthony Mancini did his case no harm in midweek but Pools remain reluctant to ask the Frenchman to do too much too soon. The sense is that Campbell should be ok and he'll be keen to continue his fine form. Photo: Frank Reid
10. Left-wing: Joe Grey
Was given a well-deserved rest in midweek and should return to the side at Roots Hall. His performances have gone a little under the radar of late but he's been influential at both ends of the pitch and has dovetailed well with David Ferguson. Photo: Frank Reid
11. Striker: Mani Dieseruvwe
Missed his penalty in midweek but remains unquestionably the main man for Pools despite a couple of goals for Gary Madine. Hasn't scored in his last two league games but had been in fine form before that, bagging eight goals in nine matches. Photo: Frank Reid
