Here's how our Hartlepool United writer rated the Pools players as they made a winning start to life under head coach Anthony Limbrick on Saturday. Do you agree with his marks?
9. Adam Campbell: 7
Worked hard, typically busy and was unfortunate not to score on a couple of occasions. Saw a well-struck effort cleared off the line by Besart Topallaj and had another goalbound shot well saved by Jack Sims. Won the ball back high up the pitch well numerous times and would have had the chance to drive at the Sutton defence had he not been cynically tripped in the first half. Would still like to see him gamble more often and run beyond the front two, although his commitment and hard work can never be called into question. Photo: Frank Reid
10. Gary Madine: 8
Showed his class with an impressive performance. Scored his seventh goal in nine games to draw Pools level and continue his purple patch. Although it wasn't the most spectacular strike, his striker's instinct meant he was the quickest to react after Adam Campbell's initial effort squirmed across goal. His link-up play was exceptional and he slid in Reyes Cleary in the first half with a well-weighted through ball. Did a bit of everything - competed well, won flick-ons, held the ball up and occupied Sutton's centre-halves. Most importantly for Pools, took his chance when it came. Photo: Frank Reid
11. Mani Dieseruvwe: 6
Failed to score for the seventh game in succession. Is lacking a bit of killer instinct at the moment and would like to see him run across the near post more often. Perhaps has lost some confidence and could be feeling a little pressure as his barren run continues. Battled hard and held the ball up well but looked frustrated at times. Would still like to see Pools get more bodies around him, although he also needs to improve. Photo: Frank Reid
12. Luke Charman: 6
Was typically tenacious and produced one excellent moment when he lost the ball after being surrounded by Sutton defenders but charged back to regain possession on the edge of his own box. Didn't manage to make a massive impact but bulldozed his way through the Us back line a couple of times. Will be disappointed to have been left out but worked hard and did well enough.
