Pools may have to change formation if neither Richardson or Kioso are fit.
3 5 2 with Cunningham in defence might be forced on Pools.
I'd go
Raynes, Kerr, Cunningham
James, Noble, Mafuta, Featherstone, Kitching
Kabamba, Toure

James at right wing back isn't ideal, but I can't think of anybody else who is fit who can fit in there! Holohan, perhaps?

Might be a tough night.

2 games into the season and I'm already hoping we can avoid relegation!

"Good teams don't lose 2 games on the bounce"

2-0 loss. So two games two losses one scored five conceded. Early days but I am predicting we wont be going up this year. Hope I'm wrong.

An interesting take on how Pools season might progress

Though it isn't how myself, and other supporters anticipated the start to the season. Waiting for the availability of Molyneux, Hawkes and Williams won't impact on the evidence that the squad is bereft of pace or purpose.

From the two match reports I am getting the impression that Killip is not all that good, our central defenders are caught out due to lack of pace and our full backs keep getting disposed or caught out of position. Early days of course but the omens are not promising.
