Here's how our Hartlepool United writer rated the Pools players following the goalless draw at Southend. Do you agree?
9. Adam Campbell: 5
Will have been so disappointed not to have scored when he was unable to divert the ball goalwards from close range in the first half. In his defence, he can't have expected the ball to cannon off Charman and into his path and he was unable to adjust his body. Even so, looked easier to score and a player of his quality would have wanted to find the net. Sent a glancing header wide in the second half but did well to attack the cross. Some good moments in possession, but gave the ball away too often and allowed Southend to counter on a couple of occasions. Has been excellent in recent weeks but won't remember this one too fondly.

10. Joe Grey: 6
Caused George Wind a few problems in the first half and was a bit unfortunate that a couple of decisions went against him. Would have liked to find himself in more threatening positions but worked hard up and down the left side. Received treatment at the end of the first half and looked to be in some discomfort. As ever, gave his all for the side before being substituted late on. Photo: Frank Reid
11. Mani Dieseruvwe: 7
Was forced to feed off scraps at times but still managed to produce some excellent bits of hold-up play. Was in a real battle up against the impressive Adam Crowther but won his fair share of fouls and linked the play well. Turned Luke Charman's cross wide of the near post but it was no more than half a chance. Gave as good as he got against the home side's combative back line. Photo: Frank Reid
12. Anthony Mancini: 6
Might have hoped to be given more than 10 minutes to impress having caught the eye during Tuesday night's FA Trophy clash against Tamworth. Pools were somewhat on the back foot by the time of his introduction but he managed to inject some energy into his side late on. One excellent moment when he beat his man before pulling the ball back for Campbell on the edge of the box. Photo: Frank Reid
