Will Squires almost catches out Michael Acquah at his near post as he heads Dannen Francis’ cross towards goal, but the Huddersfield keeper makes a fine reaction stop.

23 - Pleasing on the eye

Pool are noticeably playing in a very similar manner to how Neil Critchley likes the first-team to play. The keeper and defenders are all very comfortable with the ball at their feet.

21 - Huddersfield corner

Will Squires gets across to snuff out some danger, but he concedes a corner. Potential danger here.

Jack Moore drops his shoulder before rifling a low effort that just misses the near post. Good effort.

16 - Good defending

Dannen Francis delivers a teasing cross from the right which appears to be heading straight for Tayt Trusty, but a Huddersfield man gets a vital touch.

This is one-way traffic at the moment.

Luke Mariette waltzes past his marker before seeing his drive into the box palmed away from the danger area by Michael Acquah.

Luke Mariette has started really well for the Seasiders. He’s been in commanding form in the middle of the park so far.

Dannen Francis, meanwhile, wins Pool a corner.

Pool work the ball well from right to left but they’re caught offside. John Murphy’s men have started well here.

Pool have had a decent little spell here, but it ends with Johnny Johnston bobbling a long-range shot straight at keeper Alex McLachlan.

Pool striker Johnny Johnston gets the right side of his marker and looks to surge through on goal, but the Huddersfield man recovers and the move breaks down when Johnston pulls down his opponent for a foul.
