Paynter Doubt

Billy Paynter has a hamstring problem so Luke James may provide Morecambe's central defenders with a different problem...

He is still lacking a goal on his return to Pools - but stands a better chance of getting one if Nathan Thomas comes through a training session after recovering from a chest infection.

Not many defences would like thoese two buzzing artound all afternoon even if King Billy has been rattling the goals in - thanks in no small part to the penalties his mates' endeavours have been winning for him.

Jake Gray could be pushedup alonsgide him with Michael Woods returningin midfield.

With the pressure  off it will be interesting to see how we can play without a traditional target man.
