Match ratings: How did Hartlepool United's players rate in Eastleigh loss?

But how did their players rate? Here's our marks...

Pools XI

Scott Loach - Another day where he looked pretty blameless. In fact, he did well to keep the score down... 7

Carl Magnay - Another poor defensive display, another game with the skipper in that back four. Red carded needlessly, although it may have been a bit harsh...4

Louis Laing - For his size just doesn't win enough headers or command a box as his frame suggests he should ...4

Scott Harrison - Some very good blocks early on but was a key part of a back four which unravelled in the second 45...4

Blair Adams - Much better in an attacking sense, shame about the defending...5

Conor Newton - Started on the right with clear instruction to roam. Early promise failed to materialise until a cracker out the blue on 87... 6

Nicky Featherstone - Not sure whether his previous injury is having an impact but he is struggling for form at the moment ...5

Michael Woods - Eight goals for the season. Has a knack of being in the right place at the right time... 8

Nicky Deverdics - Performances lately have not been up to scratch. Can't rely on the fact he can deliver the odd cross. Has to do more ... 4

Tomi Adeloye - Some very good touches. Very lively. Makes you wonder why we have not seen more of him... 7

Jake Cassidy - A physical, imposing show. Looks twice the player in a two up top... 7

Subs

Devante Rodney (for Adeloye 68) - Little impact... N/A
