Turner plays down Brown fears

Hartlepool director of sport Chris Turner has allayed fears surrounding winger James Brown`s latest injury blow. After opening the scoring in the Carling Cup triumph over Sheffield United on Wednesday, Brown hobbled off with what seemed another knee problem. However, Turner said that Brown's substitution was made more out of precaution. "He's not injured," Turner told Pools Player. "James has had several horrific injuries over the last couple of years and it's all about confidence with him. "He feels twinges in his knee every now and then and we have to just monitor him to decide whether he plays on Saturday or whether we rest him so he can play the following week."
