Hartlepool United make two changes for Altrincham clash as Pools set to switch to back three

Pools, who have lost four of their last five National League games, look set to switch to a back three ahead of what feels like a significant game for under-pressure head coach Lee Clark.

Nathan Fisher, who struggled deputising for the injured Max Merrick during Friday's 2-0 defeat to Kidderminster Harriers, continues in-between the sticks as Pools bid to return to winning ways at Moss Lane.

Reiss McNally, skipper Jack Hunter and Liam Gibson are expected to start in a new look back three, with Neo Eccleston, who was sent off for the second time in three appearances last week, missing out through suspension.
