Match Preview

Donaldson set for Pools bow Ryan Donaldson could be handed his Hartlepool debut against Notts County, while Peter Hartley and James Brown should overcome illness to be involved. Donaldson, 19, joined Pools on a month`s loan from Newcastle on Monday as first-team coach Mick Wadsworth looks to solve the club`s goalscoring problems. Centre-back Hartley came off early in the second half of Saturday`s clash with Peterborough feeling unwell. The game was goalless at the time, with Hartlepool going on to lose 4-0. Forward Brown missed that clash with a bug but he should be fit enough to feature, while Paul Murray may also return in midfield after he was an unused substitute at the weekend. Defender Sam Collins lasted 90 minutes at London Road on his return from a knee problem and should continue. Defender Mike Edwards and midfielder Ricky Ravenhill are doubts for Notts County. Both players are nursing knocks following the 1-0 home defeat to Carlisle on Saturday, when Ravenhill was forced from the field due to his problem. Rob Burch returned to the squad as a substitute against the Cumbrians after a two-match injury absence. Notts boss Paul Ince must once again decide whether to stick with Stuart Nelson in goal or recall the former Tottenham trainee. Ben Burgess is nearing fitness again after a hamstring problem and could be involved, while fellow forward Lee Hughes (calf) and defender Liam Chilvers (knee) could also come back into the reckoning.

Match Report

Hughes the man for County Lee Hughes salvaged a 1-1 draw for Notts County at Hartlepool. The hosts were leading through Gary Liddle's first-half strike but substitute Hughes levelled after the break. Pools handed a debut to new loan signing Ryan Donaldson from Newcastle and he set up Andy Monkhouse to fire an early rising drive wide. But they took the lead in the 38th minute with their first goal since New Year's Day and their first in 419 minutes of League One action. Neil Austin's chip into the area was met by midfielder, who slotted low under Stuart Nelson for his fourth of the season. But the introduction of Hughes at half-time turned the game. John Thompson headed down a Jon Harley free-kick and the poacher was well placed to tap in after 69 minutes. Pools had chances to win their first game in six but Neil Austin shot too high and Nelson saved superbly from Monkhouse in stoppage time.
