Newport County v Hartlepool United: Team news, Adam Jackson in for Rob Jones

The giant central defender was felled by an elbow in Saturday's 3-1 win over Dagenham & Redbridge and forced off at half-time.

Adam Jackson, who was outstanding as his replacement in the second half, took over at the heart of the defence.

Jackson's place on the bench was taken by midfielder Josh Laurent.
