What better way to kick start the season by winning a League Cup tie although in years gone by this has not always happened.
Hartlepool have not been visitors at Deepdale since September 2012 when if memory serves me right Danny Mayor scored the only goal after coming off the substitutes bench to score a late winner.
After flirting with relegation from the league a couple of seasons ago, Pool will be looking towards the other end of the table under newish manager Craig Hignett. Squad wise veteran Billy Paynter leads the forward line and scored yesterday against Colchester, they have signed Padraig Amond who scored plenty of goals for Grimsby last season.
From the brief highlights on Channel five they looked slightly iffy at the back but you could say the same about us.
Expect numerous changes from Grayson, game time for Doyle, Robinson and Makienok, plus run outs for Maxwell, Pearson and Spurr, we should have enough to beat them but in the same competition we did once lose to Morecambe at home.
So far this season
PNE L 0-1
Hartlepool 1-1 D
Will make my seasonal debut so expect unbiased mathch report on Wednesday
