SAM COLLINS, Hartlepool United’s assistant manager, will take charge of the team for this evening’s Capital One Cup tie at Fleetwood Town.
Boss Ronnie Moore has flown out of the county to be with his family in Spain after his daughter took ill on holiday over the weekend.
Collins, who had two temporary stints in charge last season as caretaker manager, will be assisted tonight by former Pools skipper Ian McGuckin, who is part of the club’s youth set-up.
