Hartlepool manager Colin Cooper must decide whether to stick or twist as he plots a late surge towards the play-off zone.


Pools tomorrow visit the League Two bottom club Northampton, having fielded the same starting 11 in the last three matches.


And after Tuesday’s long trip to Southend, when Pools drew 1-1 with the side currently occupying the last play-off berth, Cooper will consider whether any of his players need a break, especially as a few of them are carrying slight injuries.


Northampton, who desperately need a win as they are five points away from safety, will be without skipper Lee Collins for the remainder of the season because of a foot injury.


Pools seek a double, having won 2-0 when the sides met in November.
