Hartlepool without Andy Monkhouse for trip to Oxford United


Injured Monkhouse misses a game in which Pools can pile the pressure on the teams in the play-off zone - including Oxford




Hartlepool are without wide man Andy Monkhouse for tonight’s League Two trip to Oxford United.


Monkhouse suffered a hamstring injury in last weekend’s 4-0 win over Bristol Rovers and misses a game in which Pools can pile the pressure on the teams in the play-off zone - including Oxford.


Pools are five points outside a play-off berth, and have nine games to close the gap, so a win would be a big boost, though defeat may leave them with too much to do.


Oxford have lost four and drawn two of their last six games.


Ex-Darlington defender Tom Newey and Michael Raynes are suspended after being sent off in last week’s defeat at Chesterfield. Johnny Mullins was injured leaving Oxford with eight men, and he misses tonight.
