Pools To Be Unchanged

Don't expect too many changes as Pools head for Roots Hall and an opportunity to keep in touch wth the sides looking to sneak into the play-offs.

Southend are just above us, and wil be equally keen to cement their position, but neither side should get too excited with the likes of Nerwport County having four home games in hand!

All you can do is plug away and hope for a good run. Certainly the defence has hit form, and three clean sheets in a row is testament to the organisational skills of Sam Collins specially in the continued absence of Neil Austin.

Jordan Richards is likely to continue to deputise despite looking a little shaky at times against County. Michael Duckworth was on the bench but didn't come on and he's likely to do the same tonight.

Luke James went off with a dead leg but is also likely to be fit to partner Marlon Harewood.
