Hartlepool can give themselves a chance of reaching the League Two play-offs if they win at Southend tonight.
Pools shot up to eighth place with Saturday’s 3-0 win over Newport and now face a Shrimpers side currently occupying the last play-off berth. Pool sare six points behind their hosts, so need to win.
Manager Colin Cooper is hoping that young striker Luke James, who scored on Saturday for the 13th time this season, recovers from a dead leg to keep his place.
Jordan Richards is likely to keep his place at right back as Neil Austin continues his recovery from a foot injury.
Southend manager Phil Brown, below, started his career at Pools where he played well over 200 games.
Southend have conceded five goals in their last couple of games, and Brown said: “I’m a manager that is more than happy to win every game 1-0, so it’s been very frustrating.”
