LINE UPS: Vassell misses out for Pool

The striker, who has 11 goals to his name this season, hobbled off with a recurrence of a hamstring injury during the 2-2 draw against Crewe last week.

He is replaced by Sanmi Odelusi as one of Pool's three changes for today's crunch game against an Exeter side sat sixth in the league table.

Tom Aldred misses out through suspension while Nathan Delfouneso is unavailable, with Bright Osayi-Samuel and Jamille Matt coming in to replace them.

Neil Danns and Jim McAlister remain sidelined with injuries.
