Craig Harrison has made two changes to his starting eleven for this evening’s National League game against Barrow at Victoria Park (7.45pm kick-off).

With Liam Donnelly away on international duty with Northern Ireland Under-21s, Scott Harrison returns to the centre of defence to partner Louis Laing.

Devante Rodney is also restored to the line-up in attack; James Thorne starts from the bench against The Bluebirds alongside Connor Simpson who is recalled to the squad for tonight’s game.

Pools: Loach, Magnay, Laing, Harrison, Deverdics, Featherstone, Woods, Hawkins, Donaldson, Rodney, Franks.
Subs: Adams, Munns, Oates, Thorne, Simpson.

No more slip ups

He has done well at left back but now Adams is fit and us struggling creativity wise it's surely time to give Deverdics a run in the team in his actual proper position? He's a proven player at this level he needs to be further forward.

I agree pj i carnt understand why deverdics is not in midfield we need to create and score more goals plus Adams is the LB so for me its a win win situation.

Obvious concerns at cb. The bench is a weird one for me, three strikers on there for a team that plays one up top is strange. Would prefer a few more options if the game needs changing.

Laing and Harrison are a car crash waiting to happen again
