Plan A: Wozzer’s available and we don’t change anything.

I just can’t see Gibbo being available so the round pegs in round holes alternative for me would be a flat back four with Smith at RB and bring Amoo in on the right wing. I think we should stick with Benning at LB because he’ll bomb on more and Walker can cover that defensively.

I don't think we can should change formation in a vital game with no second chances. We likely need to win every game to come 3rd as Mansfield have slightly easier games over the bank holiday weekend. Moving Benning to right back was a trial against Oldham. I thought he did ok defensively, but he is left footed with some ability in the right foot. Overall I thought it choked our attacking down the right flank looking from Lorne Street and drew pressure on to us. If Worrall is fit he should come back in, but possibly not if a rest would give him max ability to play the last 4 games. Who can play there excluding Worrall depends on what threats Hartlepool pose. If their best play comes down the left then we are going to need a player with experience who can tackle. Otherwise I would be serious about putting Edmondson there because he's got height and physicality. I am tempted to say Amoo, but doesn't feel right. Playing Smith there could work and there we come to Jones and is he ready to start in a role?

I think we need to be quick out of the blocks like we were on Saturday. Two goalline clearances otherwise we could have been 2 up early in the game.

It's easy to speculate and criticise on formations and our defending but it's now a 6 game season and we are 3rd with the 2nd best goal difference. All teams are in the same boat... performances don't really matter,it's all about picking up as many points as we can.

All positives for me,let's hope the squad have a good rest,ready to do their best on Friday.

One game at a time

Completely agree. Lots of other clubs are going to be carrying injured players, have suspensions and have struggles fitting "square pegs in round holes". We just need to get points. 

What makes me enthusiastic is we have a strong bench for the run-in with the likes of Harratt, Edmondson and Amoo all potential game changers if things are not going our way. You could add Jake Taylor to that list when he gets fitter too.

The amount of supporters who watch on there dodgy boxes /stick ,fair enough for away games but home come on you gotta get to the game if you can afford it or you are well enough go .

Hartlepool is a big game but Bristol Rovers is even bigger the Stoke City Sentinel bit bigging it up as Connor Taylors on loan from them and I think Sam Finley is from stokes younger sides too so get to the game and let them have it with massive encouragement for Vale all the way and turn your dodgy stick /box off and get to the game
