Our Pools writer, Dominic Scurr, has dished out his marks after the showing at the Shay – with some low numbers. Scroll down and click through the pages to see how he rated the individual performances:
9. Nicky Featherstone - 5
The one unforced change from Saturday’s defeat. Was smart in possession as Pools took control early on but became anonymous later on and was subbed. Photo: Mark Fletcher
10. Luke James - 5
Caused a lot more problems than he did Saturday with his pace against a slow Halifax defence but faded significantly as the game wore on. Photo: Mark Fletcher
11. Nicke Kabamba - 5
Looked to be enjoying the battle with the physical Halifax defence in the opening stages but barely got a sniff after that. Photo: Mark Fletcher
12. Gime Toure - 5
Booked for diving, his only telling contribution. Photo: Mark Fletcher
