Match Preview
Pools waiting on Brown Hartlepool director of sport Chris Turner will assess the fitness of forward James Brown before the home clash with Swindon. Brown opened the scoring in Pools` Carling Cup triumph over Sheffield United on Wednesday but later hobbled off with what appeared to be another knee problem. However, it is thought the substitution was made more out of precaution. Neil Austin is sidelined for the next month after suffering a knee ligament injury in last Saturday's draw with Rochdale, and Ritchie Humphreys is still out, but Turner is unlikely to make changes after the impressive victory over the Blades. David Lucas continues his battle to shrug off a thigh strain for Swindon. The goalkeeper has missed the first two games this season - respective 2-1 defeats to Brighton and Leyton Orient - and is facing a race against time if he is to recover in time for the clash at Victoria Park. Phil Smith is again at the ready to take his place in goal as the Robins look to kickstart their campaign. Striker Vincent Pericard missed Tuesday`s Carling Cup exit at the hands of Orient due to bruising to a knee but is back in training and looking for a starting berth. Summer signing Paul Caddis impressed in defence on his debut in midweek and could replace Kevin Amankwaah at right-back.

Match Report
Robins rally to secure point Two goals in as many second-half minutes saw Swindon come back to earn a 2-2 draw at Hartlepool. After being outplayed in the opening half, the visitors pressed in the second and were rewarded with goals from Thomas Dossevi and Charlie Austin. Pools took the lead after four minutes when Adam Boyd knocked home from eight yards after Antony Sweeney's shot was saved by David Lucas. And eight minutes later the lead was doubled. Lecsinel Jean-Francois headed a long ball back to his keeper, but it fell shot and Sweeney nipped in to lob home into the empty net from distance. Joe Gamble headed a goalbound Austin header off the line and home keeper Scott Flinders made a superb double stop to deny first Austin and then Jon-Paul McGovern. The visitors put an extra striker on to chase the game and were soon rewarded. Sam Collins' defensive header fell only to the feet of substitute Thomas Dossvei and his first-time strike found the net. Then two minutes later, the home defence got into a muddle and Austin got goal side to confidently finish to earn boss Danny Wilson a point at his former club.
