Miller starts at Hartlepool

The summer signing from Boston United returned from a loan spell with Dover Athletic on Thursday as Alex Lawless missed out from the 2-0 win over Southend United.

That was the only change for the visitors while the game also marked striker Mark Cullen’s 50th appearance for the club.
