Poole back in at the deep end

Veteran goalkeeper Kevin Poole will play for Burton against Rotherham in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy. The Football League`s oldest player, 47, will replace Adam Legzdins who has dislocated a finger. Poole, goalkeeping coach at the Pirelli Stadium, made six appearances for the Brewers in League Two last season but this will be his first game of this campaign. Keith Gilroy could also be given his first start of the season. The winger, who has had a hamstring problem, came off the bench for his first outing of the campaign during the home league win over Stockport on Saturday. Boss Paul Peschisolido could opt to rest striker Shaun Harrad, while youngsters Garyn Preen and Jack Dyer will be hoping for a chance to impress the Canadian.
