Pools trio set to miss cup clash

James Brown continues to struggle with the knee injury he sustained in Pools' 1-0 win against Tranmere. He missed last weekend's trip to Brighton and is unlikely to be risked.Ritchie Jones, who had impressed on his return to the starting line-up, suffered a thigh problem in the first half of the 3-3 draw against the Seagulls and is not expected to recover in time.And Leon McSweeney, handed a starting role at the Withdean Stadium, was also unable to start the second half with a foot injury.Kettering boss Mark Cooper played for Hartlepool between 1996 and 1997 and also masterminded a 2-1 FA Cup victory at Victoria Park while in charge of Tamworth in 2005. Hartlepool 4/9, Draw 10/3, Kettering 13/2
