Hartlepool United manager Lee Clark is expected to make two changes to his starting line-up for Wednesday's National League trip to Altrincham. The club sits 15th in the table with nine points from seven games and has lost four of its last five fixtures.
Clark said his team must take criticism "on the chin" after the poor run of form. The most recent result was a 2-0 defeat away to Kidderminster Harriers on 11 September, which extended a sequence of results reading LLWLL.
Hartlepool have used a two-man attack system during the early part of the season. The predicted changes for the match at the J. Davidson Stadium are understood to be in response to the recent struggles.
The club's current standings position shows they are eight points behind leaders AFC Fylde. Fans can check the full schedule of upcoming fixtures as Clark's side looks to climb the table.
