Hartlepool United player ratings as Pools fail to score at home again in defeat to Dagenham and Redbridge

Hartlepool United failed to score at home for the fourth time in five games as Pools fell to a 1-0 defeat against Dagenham and Redbridge. Former Pools frontman Josh Umerah came back to haunt his old side with the winner, his third goal in four games, less than six months after his release. Pools, who slipped to 15th in the National League table, had two penalty appeals waved away and a goal ruled out before left-back David Ferguson was sent off late on, their fourth red card in 10 games. Here's how the players rated on another frustrating afternoon for Darren Sarll and his side.

Here's how our Pools writer rated Darren Sarll's side after their defeat against in-form Dagenham - do you agree?

13. Gary Madine: 7

Injected some urgency to his side, produced a few nice touches and won plenty of headers. Was penalised for a foul when he headed the ball across goal for Mani Dieseruvwe to bundle home; Sarll felt it was harsh but there did look to be a suspicion of a shove in the back. Photo: Frank Reid

14. Anthony Mancini: 5

Doesn't look suited to playing out wide and failed to impact the contest after his introduction other than conceding a string of fouls while tracking back. Photo: Frank Reid

15. Greg Sloggett: 5

Couldn't sort his feet out when the ball fell into his path late on but it was good to see him back after missing the defeat at Ebbsfleet. Photo: Frank Reid
