00:00Just some pre-match thoughts ahead of Hartlepool United's midweek trip to National League New

00:05Boys Boston. The Pilgrims have acquitted themselves pretty well since promotion to the National

00:10League from the National League North via the playoffs last season and come into the

00:14game full of confidence, having won two of their last three, including a statement win

00:18over Sutton on Saturday. They beat them 3-0 for Pools. Of course, the picture is a little

00:23bit more mixed, winless in four, but only one defeat in seven so far this season and

00:28five clean sheets in those seven matches. Sal has handed a boost on Saturday following

00:34the return much earlier than expected of lively winger Luke Charman, as well as an impressive

00:39cameo from debutant Roshawn Mathurin. Expect at least one of them to feature and hopefully

00:44get more service into the rather frustrated Manny Disarue. I would think Sal might be

00:49tempted to dispense with one of his three central midfielders, which will allow him

00:53to get Adam Campbell back in the side. As for the back five, expect that to remain the

00:57same with Adam Smith continuing in goal following a pretty assured first Pools start on Saturday.
