Spare a thought for Hartlepool captain Nicky Featherstone, who will miss the FA Cup clash at Crystal Palace after being sent off in the League Two game against Exeter last weekend. Here’s the stand-in Pools captain Gary Liddle. “We’re gutted for Feaths,” Liddle told the Hartlepool Mail. “He’s a good friend of mine at the football club and is someone I speak to quite often. Originally he was disappointed he got sent off with half an hour to go at the weekend and I think once the dust had settled with that he soon realised he was going to miss this game.” Palace, who have helped subsidise Hartlepool fans’ coach travel down to London, will be without Wilfried Zaha, who is back in training but being given time to recuperate after his efforts for Ivory Coast at Afcon.
