HARTLEPOOL United's loan rangers are making a big impression.

Kevin Henderson and Marcus Richardson are both into their second months on loan away from Victoria Park, Henderson at Carlisle, Richardson at Lincoln.

The pair rarely featured under Neale Cooper this season, but impressive loan performances could mean they are offered permanent deals away from Pool.

Anthony Williams could follow the pair out of Victoria Park, with Swansea, Hull and Kidderminster keen on the Pool keeper, who has been ousted by the impressive form of Jim Provett.

Williams was in goal at Oldham on Tuesday, but Provett will be back for tomorrow's game at Blackpool - by which time Williams could be playing for a new club.

"I have spoken to the manager about the situation. I can't go the whole season without playing,'' he said.

"The manager has been good. I understand his position and he understands mine."

Henderson has this week extended his loan period, while Richardson has netted four times in nine games for The Imps. The pair both played for their loan clubs in this week's LDV Vans Trophy, Richardson netting against Telford United.

Former Morpeth striker Henderson has been sidelined with knee trouble during his time at Brunton Park.

But new boss Paul Simpson admitted: "If Kevin carries on like he has been doing, then I would like him further than a month.

"At the moment I have only spoken to him about this month and I don't know if Hartlepool would be prepared to let him go.

"When Kevin and Richie Foran are up front together, Kevin shares the workload and makes Richie's game easier to play in. He has loads of enthusiasm, works hard in games and has a good touch."

* Tomorrow's game is now all-ticket for Pool fans, after Blackpool last night reversed their decision to sell tickets on the gate on police advice.

The Victoria Park ticket office will be open from 10-5 today and 9-10 tomorrow morning. Telephone orders can be taken and travelling fans can collect their tickets tomorrow from the Bloomfield Road ticket office.
