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?

9. Adam Campbell: 9

By far his best game in a Pools shirt. Started well and scored the opener, his third of the campaign. Was influential with the ball at his feet and was brilliant out of possession. Won the ball back, drove forward and found Charman in the lead-up to Dieseruvwe's winner. Made one superb block towards the end and is starting to demonstrate just what a mature and intelligent footballer he is. Photo: Frank Reid

10. Joe Grey: 8

Was back among the goals with his second ever brace for Pools. Few people would have expected him to score two headers but he was willing to put his head in where it hurts and was rewarded with a goal either side of half time. He was unplayable for 10 or 15 minutes after he scored his second but started to tire towards the end. An excellent afternoon's work and one he'll hope to build on. Photo: Frank Reid

11. Mani Dieseruvwe: 8

Did what he does best. Scored the winning goal with a sharp first time finish after getting across his man and has now reached double figures for the season. Forced the error that led to the opener thanks to his determined pressing and linked the play well all afternoon. Photo: Frank Reid

12. Greg Sloggett: 6

Was a real shame to see him forced off through injury 15 minutes after his introduction. Looked like he landed awkwardly and appeared to be in real pain. Will be hoping it's nothing too serious. Photo: Frank Reid
