Hartlepool United player ratings after Marine FA Cup defeat

Max Thompson - 5

Probably couldn’t do anything about either goal but looked nervous in possession.

Reiss McNally - 5

Didn’t look like his usual composed self.

Brooklyn Ilunga - 5

Didn’t really get going and failed to provide any threat down the left-hand side.

Jordan Hugill - 5

Battled away at the top end of the pitch and tried to impose himself on Marine. Didn’t really happen for the striker but he was unlucky with a header early in the second half.

Neo Eccleston - 7

Was given a test by the lively Fin Sinclair-Smith - but more than matched the Marine winger and provided a driving threat from full back.

Nathan Sheron - 6

Worked hard in midfield and remained disciplined throughout the game.

Jack Nolan - 4

Much like a number of his team-mates, starting well but struggled to make an impact as the game wore on.

Chris Popov - 5

Had a couple of early opportunities and tried to provide energy without too much success.

Cole Deeming - 6

Looks so composed in possession as he tried to give Pools some control in midfield.

Max Clark - 6

Looks like a solid addition at left-back with a strong defensive display and a willingness to try and get forward.

Sam Lavelle - 7

A really composed debut from the on-loan defender as he looked commanding alongside McNally.

Subs

Miley (on for Popov) - 4

Tried to get on the ball to turn the tide as the visitors got on top but couldn’t make an impact.

Harris (on for Hugill) - 4

Didn’t receive the service he requires and couldn’t get involved barring one chance.

Bondo (on for Ilunga) - 4

Looks very short of confidence - but did provide a positive moment by forcing a late save out of McIntyre

John (on for Clark) - 4

Didn’t really get involved.
