Pools XI

Scott Loach – Very little to do but remain focused and commanded his area expertly. Will have been disappointed to concede just before half-time...6

Louis Laing – Solid and organised for the majority of the game...7

Carl Magnay – Lead by example and did not offer much for Bromley in terms of attacking threat...7

Blair Adams – Brilliant in the first half and was a big threat going forward...7

Nicky Featherstone – Battled for every ball and was involved in some fine passing moves...7

Josh Hawkes – A goal on his first full start – could not have asked for a better debut...7

Conor Newton – Covered every blade of glass and was not afraid to get stuck into a tackle. An important defensive header near the end...7

Michael Woods – Never stopped running and deserved his goal with a sweet strike...7
