Askey claimed his first win in charge in the late victory over Swindon Town and he remains unbeaten in his six games at the Suit Direct Stadium.
Hartlepool have played a number of the division’s top teams recently but have managed to hold their own and take points from them as they continue their battle for survival.
But just how different would the League Two table look based on Askey’s time with the club?
