Hartlepool United player ratings as Pools edge seven goal thriller at in-form Solihull Moors

Hartlepool United won away from home for the first time since early September following a remarkable 4-3 victory over in-form Solihull Moors. Pools braved sleet, lashing rain and howling wind to overcome a Solihull side who had only lost one of their last 10 games. Adam Campbell capitalised on a defensive mix-up to put Pools ahead, Connor Wilkinson drew Solihull level but Joe Grey restored his side's lead before the break. The hosts turned the game on its head thanks to goals from Matt Warburton and Bradley Stevenson but Pools struck back through Grey and then Mani Dieseruvwe to secure a remarkable three points that narrows the gap between themselves and the play-off places. So, here's a look at how the players rated.

Here's how our Hartlepool United writer rated the Pools players following their impressive win over in-form Solihull Moors - do you agree?

5. David Ferguson: 7

Looked like he could be in for a tough afternoon against Watford loanee Michael Adu-Poku and was skinned a couple of times in the first 10 minutes. Struck back with a well-timed sliding tackle and got the better of the fleet-footed winger for the remainder of the contest. Continues to impress under Lawrence. Photo: Frank Reid

6. Jack Hunter: 6

Ran his socks off on his return to the side although the game passed him by at times. Helped Pools maintain their shape well but lacks a bit of the dynamism that allows Sheron to make such an impact. He should keep improving as he continues to get back up to speed. Photo: Frank Reid

7. Nicky Featherstone: 7

Wasn't necessarily the sort of game he relishes but he was involved in most of his side's best moves. A handful of inventive balls forward while his calm head and impressive range of passing helped Pools control a game that was frantic and fast-paced. Looks to be benefitting from the change in style and approach since Darren Sarll's departure. Photo: Frank Reid

8. Luke Charman: 9

Outstanding. Registered three assists and ran Moors left-back Joe Newton ragged. Turned Newton before crossing for the second goal, found Grey at the back post as Pools made it 3-3 and picked out Mani Dieseruvwe with an inch-perfect ball for the winner. Puts himself about, takes on his man and is difficult to knock off the ball. Must be an absolute nightmare to defend against. Photo: Frank Reid
