Having secured their first clean sheet in seven months with their 1-0 win over Dagenham & Redbrige last time out on their travels, John Askey’s side were unable to follow things up as they slipped to back-to-back 2-0 defeats on home turf.
Those defeats have seen Askey’s men drop out of the top seven by virtue of their poor goal difference as they look to make amends with a trip to Boreham Wood on Wednesday.
Askey could hand a second debut to the returning Nicky Featherstone after the former club captain put pen to paper on a short-term deal to rejoin the club with the Pools boss awaiting updates on the fitness of both Kieran Wallace and Alex Lacey.
And here is how we predict Hartlepool will line-up for their trip to Meadow Park.
