Hartlepool manager Danny Wilson could opt to make a number of changes when he takes his side to Boundary Park on Tuesday to take on Oldham.Wilson saw his off-form side beaten 2-0 at crisis-torn Bournemouth on Saturday, but can welcome back Sam Collins after he completed his four-match ban.

Fellow defender Ben Clark is still not available after failing to recover from a thigh injury, while striker James Brown also remains sidelined with a knee problem.

Hartlepool are just four points ahead of the relegation places with 14 games left, while Oldham lie four points from the play-off places.

Wilson told the Hartlepool Mail: "There will be a couple of changes, there has to be.

"It will be a very tough game at Oldham. But we have got to do it and roll our sleeves up and have a go. We have got to be in a position where we can relax a little bit and play our football because we are still in that relegation dogfight."
