DANNY Wilson admits a change in tack may be needed at Hartlepool United.

Pools were punished by Nottingham Forest on Saturday, after conceding a late goal while pushing for a winner at the other end.

With the scores at 1-1, Junior Agogo netted the decisive goal, after Pools squandered chances of their own to take the lead.

"Of course I am concerned we are conceding too many goals, one is too many for me,'' he admitted. "We want clean sheets in every game we play - it's not going to happen - but that's what you strive for.

"It is important we realise as a team that we have to work that slightly bit harder to keep clean sheets.

"Maybe the other side of our game will have to change a bit - maybe we are too offensive, perhaps too good going forward and then get caught on the break.

"So we will have a look at that and a think about it and I am sure we will get it right."

Pools travel to Lincoln in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy tomorrow before meeting Bristol Rovers at home on Friday night and Wilson added: "I think we deserved to come away with something but we haven't and it's a lesson to be learned.

"It is disappointing because you put a lot of work and a lot of energy into games like this and you want to come away with something.

"But unfortunately we haven't and it's a lesson we have to take heed of.

"For the first 20 minutes at Leeds and the first 20 here, we haven't gone about our business like we know we can.

"After that though when we settled down, we were worthy of getting something from the game."

Loan signing Danny Coles made his debut at right back, with Jamie McCunnie missing out for the first time since his summer move from Dunfermline.

McCunnie has impressed at both right back and in central midfield and Wilson admitted: "It was a hard decision to leave Jamie out.

"We maybe have to tweak our side a bit if we want to keep clean sheets and Jamie is a fantastic attacking full-back, as you know.

"He has great ability on the ball but we felt coming here, with Forest having what they have, we needed tall, strapping lads to defend and Danny comes into that category.''

McCunnie replaced Coles in the closing stages with the latter suffering from cramp and Wilson added: "Danny heads it well and covers a lot of ground, loses a bit going forward at times but he's not bothered about that because he is a defender.

"It's disappointing for Jamie but we have a big squad here now with lads who can come in and do a job."
