Player ratings: How did Pools' starting XI mark in their Leyton Orient win?

Tonight Matthew Bates' men secured a 1-0 win over Leyton Orient to move out of reach of the fifth tier's bottom four thanks to a Louis Laing goal.

But how did the starting XI rate? Here's our take from Victoria Park...

Pools XI

Scott Loach - Made 2/3 good saves in the first half to keep the scores level. Had a quiet second half... 6

Lewis Hawkins - Got himself stuck in, had trouble handling... 6

Louis Laing - Rose beautifully for the goal and handled Bonne well. Much better from the centre-half... 7

Carl Magnay - Captain led by example, leading the defensive line with some vital clearances... 7

Blair Adams - Struggled to handle McAnuff, giving away multiple fouls but composed himself well second half... 6

Nicky Featherstone - Started slow but but grew into the game, passing wasn't at it's best but his effort and determination shone through... 7

Josh Hawkes - Was overrun in midfield early on in both halves but recovered to help hold the Orient attack at bay... 6

Conor Newton - Poor first half but made up for it with a solid display in the second... 6

Michael Woods - Struggled first half picking up a yellow card in the process. However, his set-pieces were better today... 6

Jake Cassidy - Had a golden chance cleared off the line that he really should've scored, couldn't fault his effort with little/no service... 7

Ryan Donaldson - Bit of a bystander but worked hard to help the midfield... 6

Subs

Rhys Oates (for Woods 46) - Worked hard to keep his side in-front but was largely in-effective... 6

Devante Rodney (for Hawkes 69) - Didn't look comfortable receiving the ball and picked up a needless red card... 4

Scott Harrison (for Donaldson 90) ...N/A
