Yeovil Town entertain Hartlepool United this coming Saturday hoping to repeat last seasons 4-0 thumping at Huish Park.

The Pools will be without Chris Turner, who resigned from his role of Director of Football and acting first team coach. Joining him through the exits, is Chief Executive Russ Green, leaving Hartlepool with some roles to fill.

Assistant manager Mick Wadsworth will take charge for Saturday's game, but the Hartlepool players will be in capable hands, as Wadsworth was part of Bobby Robson's England coaching staff in 1990.

Terry Skiverton hopes to welcome back Dean Bowditch and Andy Welsh. After Bowditch missed last weeks match with bruised kidneys and Andy Welsh has yet to feature this season, with an unnamed injury.

The main doubt comes from Luke Freeman, who needed an x-ray after receiving a bang on his leg last week at Bristol Rovers. It proved to bad bruising but Freeman faces a battle to be fit.

One definite absentee is JP Kalala, who will serve a one match ban after getting sent off at the Memorial Ground last week.

Hartlepool will travel without right back Neil Austin and defender Ritchie Humphreys, who have ligament and Achilles injuries.

Yeovil have record of one win and one loss so far this season, whilst Hartlepool can boast an unbeaten start to their season, despite drawing both League One games, they claimed victory over Championship side Sheffield United in the Carling Cup. 

Tickets are still available or you can listen to the game on BBC Radio Somerset 99.5FM.
