Hartlepool United extended their unbeaten run to five National League matches following a goalless draw with Southend on Saturday. It was the third time in a row that the two teams have drawn 0-0. Veteran boss Lennie Lawrence, who was celebrating his 77th birthday, felt it was "a point gained" even though Pools lost ground on the play-off places. Adam Campbell spurned a gilt-edged chance in the first half while Josh Walker struck the post for the home side five minutes into the second period. Pools were well-organised, disciplined and comfortable for large parts of the afternoon as they continued their resurgence under Lawrence. Here's a look at how the players rated.
