CHRIS Turner opted for a five-man midfield as he looked to secure League One safety for Hartlepool United.
Avoiding defeat at Bristol Rovers is enough for Pools to stay in League One for next season, although they could still be safe if other results go their way.
With Joel Porter absent, Matty Robson was in the side as his replacement in a five-man midfield. BRISTOL ROVERS: Phillips, Pipe, Elliot, Anthony, Lescott, Reece, Campbell, Lines, Duffy, Kuffour, Lambert. Subs: St Louis-Hamilton (gk), Hunt, Rigg, Disley, Kite.
HARTLEPOOL UNITED: Budtz; Liddle, Nelson, Collins, Scarz, Jones, Clark, Sweeney, Monkhouse, Robson, Nardiello. Subs: Lee-Barrett, McCunnie, Humphreys, Mackay, Rowell.
