What is Hartlepool United manager Darren Sarll's best available XI as Pools boss bids to mastermind return to form?

Yesterday at 09:45 AM

Hartlepool United manager Darren Sarll's recent chopping and changing is a sure sign things are not going to plan at Pools. When the embattled boss first arrived at the Prestige Group Stadium in April, he promised to implement his own unique way of playing, centred on a relentless press all over the pitch. While Sarll has, to an extent, been able to make his mark on Pools, particularly when it comes to defensive organisation and structure, the increasingly frustrated fanbase have been left feeling short changed in other areas. After a strong start that saw Pools win seven points from their first three games, Sarll's side seem to have regressed and the press for which the manager is renowned has never really got going. The team Sarll picked for Saturday's trip to Forest Green, which saw him drop Mani Dieseruvwe and Joe Grey, who scored 38 goals between them last season, suggests he is grappling for a solution as the pressure continues to mount.
