Hartlepool United (4-3-3)

Adam Bartlett - Could do absolutely nothing about the penalty. Made a few decent stops... 6

Jordan Richards - Struggled a bit with the pace of Crawley Town's widemen. Did improve as the game wore on, though... 5

Toto Nsiala - An excellent performance from the DR Congo international. Won absolutely everything... 8

Scott Harrison - A very shaky opening 45 but one outstanding point-saving tackle to deny Collins in added time... 6

Jake Carroll - An assured return to the side undermined by some poor defending for the Crawley leveller... 6

Nicky Deverdics - Injury cut his afternoon short. Was playing well to that point, too... 6

Josh Laurent - Another quieter game. Did begin to influence things in the second half... 6

Lewis Hawkins - As influential a game as any he has had of late. Enjoyed plenty of ball against a lively Crawley midfield 7

Lewis Alessandra - Got the goal his performances in the last few weeks have deserved. A threat throughout on the break 7

Padraig Amond - Nowhere near as involved as he was at Grimsby was last week. The Irishman struggled for any ball 5

Nathan Thomas - The boy is a class act. Ran down a few blind alleys but still won the penalty with an excellent piece of skill. He did miss it, though 7
