OPPOSITION PLAYER TO WATCH
With Alex Reid potentially sidelined through injury, attention may turn to Luke Charman as Hartlepool United’s main attacking threat tonight.
Charman will be looking to step up in Reid’s absence and has already shown glimpses of his ability this season. Known for his sharp movement and eye for goal, the forward will be eager to make his mark as the campaign gathers momentum.
The 25-year-old joined Hartlepool in 2023 and, despite injury setbacks, has proven himself to be a reliable option up front when fully fit. His tenacity and work rate make him a handful for defenders, and he’ll no doubt relish the opportunity to lead the line.
With Reid having made a fast start to the season — scoring three goals before picking up a knock — Charman now has a chance to shine and help keep Hartlepool’s early momentum going.
