MATCH RATINGS: How did Hartlepool's players rate in Grimsby loss?

But how did the players rate in the frustrating loss at the Northern Gas & Power Stadium?

Pools XI

Adam Bartlett - Spilled one early on but grew into it... 6

Scott Harrison - May well have been guilty of switching off for the goal but that aside he continued his fine form, with and without the ball... 7

Matthew Bates - Caught out of position on a couple of occasions, mistake almost led to a goal late on also... 5

Liam Donnelly - Spent more of his time in the visiting half, despite playing a back three. Excellent on the ball... 7

Jordan Richards - Not quite as eye-catching as the Accrington performance but solid all the same... 6

Michael Woods - In this team he is asked to be Pools creative force. Unable to do that, really. Heavily involved, though... 7

Nicky Featherstone - When the ball goes through him in middle, it's all just a bit slow... 5

Lewis Hawkins - Not one of his better days, although he never stops wanting the ball... 5

Sean Kavanagh - An excellent debut. Looks to have an excellent left foot... 7

Billy Paynter - Some decent hold up play but very little else to show for his 70 mins... 6

Padraig Amond - Worked hard, as we have come to expect, but just the one sniff of goal in the 90... 6
