Match Preview
Wadsworth could ring changes Hartlepool first-team coach Mick Wadsworth could make changes for the home clash with Tranmere. Wadsworth has hinted at giving his fringe players a chance in recent weeks, and with neither promotion or relegation on the cards, the Rovers clash could provide the perfect opportunity. Back-up goalkeeper Andy Rafferty will be hoping for a chance between the posts, while young defender Paul Johnson could be handed his debut after being an unused substitute against Sheffield Wednesday last weekend. Utility-man Leon McSweeney could also be recalled to the starting line-up, along with Ritchie Humphreys. Attacking options include Colin Larkin, Denis Behan or handing Michael Mackay his first start for the club since March 2009. Right-back Neil Austin and striker James Brown both played an hour for the reserves in midweek on their comebacks from calf and ankle injuries respectively, but are unlikely to be involved. Tranmere boss Les Parry will assess the fitness of several players ahead of the trip. Deputy goalkeeper Joe Collister sustained a thigh injury during a reserve match against Shrewsbury on Wednesday. He was forced off and may now miss the trip to Victoria Park as Rovers bid to bounce back from Tuesday`s 1-0 defeat at the hands of fellow strugglers Notts County. Midfielder Andy Robinson has been nursing a groin injury and rookie striker Dale Jennings has been troubled by an ankle strain. However, both players came off the bench in midweek and also featured for the reserves the following day as they bid to return to full fitness. Parry will also check on the fitness of veteran defender Ian Goodison and striker Enoch Showunmi.

Match Report
Rovers peg back Pools Tranmere took another step closer to safety with an undeserved point in a 1-1 draw at Hartlepool. Rovers moved seven points clear of the League One drop zone after substitute Dale Jennnings nabbed an 82nd-minute leveller at Victoria Park. The home side took the lead after 14 minutes when top scorer Antony Sweeney turned in his 14th of the season. A long throw-in from teenage debutant Darren Holden was headed on by Sam Collins and the midfielder swept the ball past Tony Warner from 12 yards. Michael Mackay could have doubled the lead, but lifted his lobbed effort onto the roof of the net. Pools substitute Denis Behan had three chances to make the game safe in the second period. First his close-range effort was blocked by Ian Goodison, then he struck the crossbar with a fierce 35-yard drive and from an indirect free-kick eight yards out, Enoch Showumni charged down his goalbound effort. But three minutes later Rovers levelled when goalkeeper Andy Rafferty, on his first appearance, made a low stop to keep out Showumni's effort but Jennings followed up to tap in.
