Brown back in the fold for Pools

17 December 2010 11:00
Hartlepool caretaker manager Mick Wadsworth is likely to recall striker James Brown for the visit of Charlton. Brown was rested for the FA Cup win against Yeovil in midweek but should be recalled following his well-taken winner in the 1-0 victory over Bournemouth last weekend. Wadsworth is likely to revert back to the side that beat the Cherries last Saturday. Goalkeeper Andy Rafferty has returned to full training following a finger injury, but the game against Phil Parkinson's side may come a week too soon for the shot-stopper. Midfielder Paul Murray was also rested for the game against the Glovers and is pushing for a starting place, while forward Ritchie Humphreys will be hoping his wonder goal against Terry Skiverton's side will be enough to retain his place.
