Aldershot Town expert believes new boss Scott Davies has Shots all pulling in the same direction ahead of Hartlepool United clash

Pools are bidding to make it back-to-back wins in Hampshire having eased past Barrow, who were relegated from League Two last term, on the opening weekend.

For their part, Aldershot have been tipped to struggle by many but began the campaign with an impressive 1-0 win over well-fancied Boston United thanks to a second half strike from former Maidstone United man John Gilbert, one of a whole host of summer signings.

Indeed, the Shots have undergone even more change than Pools this summer having allowed more than 20 players to leave following a topsy-turvy 2025/26 campaign.
