Gary Cohen is also absent through injury and joint top scorer Gary Jones is serving the second game of his 4 match ban. Ciaran Toner who was re-called to the bench on tuesday may get another chance to get in the manager's good book, but may struggle to replace Danny Boshell.
Hartlepool will be without striker partners Michael Proctor and Joel Porter, midfielder Mark Tinkler has a broken toe and will also not take part. Former Grimsby loanee Jon Daly should start on the bench despite being his club's top scorer.
