Match Preview: Hartlepool United vs Forest Green Rovers
Hartlepool welcome play-off bound Forest Green Rovers to the Prestige Group Stadium in the National League on Saturday.
Pools come into this game having not scored in their last four games while conceding 10 in all of them fixtures combined, and this poor run of form has seen them drop out of contention for the play-offs.
Forest Green are unbeaten in their last four, and their free-scoring run has earned them a guaranteed spot in the play-offs come the end of the season.
The big news for the hosts ahead of the fixture is that First Team Manager Nicky Featherstone will step down at the end of the season, having came into the job in December following the departure of Simon Grayson.
This will be his second-to-last home game as Hartlepool manager, with his final home game in charge coming on Tuesday night against Southend.
Robbie Savage’s side will be chasing a win to try and overtake Scunthorpe to move into fifth place, which could give them an easier route to Wembley and back to the football league.
Forest Green currently have no injury concerns going into the match, while Hartlepool are without Luke Charman – who remains on the sidelines with an ankle injury he sustained in February.
