Take a look at our end of term grades after Pools finished an up-and-down season in 12th:
17. Tom Crawford: C+
His five goals make this the most prolific season of the 24-year-old's career but, after showing so much promise in possession when he first broke into the side, he would probably like to do more in an attacking sense. He presses well and, while he doesn't always have much of a turn of pace, he is a tireless runner and always ensures his opposite number know they're in a battle. Loves a challenge and, while he often sets the tone with some tough-tackles, his 12 yellow cards in 39 appearances is indicative of the fact that he concedes too many fouls. Still feels like there's more to come from him. Photo: Mark Fletcher
18. Callum Cooke: C+
Cooke has an abundance of quality but his problem this season has been an occasional lack of consistency. After a strong start to the season, a freak injury ruled him out for almost three months. He dazzled on his return to the side, providing all three assists in a memorable away win over York in November, but has produced some indifferent performances since then. His relentless hard work sometimes comes at the cost of some poise in the final third and his six goals this term is a somewhat underwhelming return for someone with so much talent. Photo: FRANK REID
19. Kieran Wallace: D
Was one of the showpiece summer signings but injuries have prevented him from making much of a mark. When he has been fit games have often passed him by and, while he's proved he's tidy in possession, he has yet to show he has the engine to be the all-action midfielder Pools need. The 29-year-old will be keen to demonstrate what he can do, and a run of games will no doubt benefit a player who arrived from Mansfield with a good reputation, although surgery is set to keep him on the sidelines for some time to come.

20. Anthony Mancini: B
Quickly established himself as one of the National League's best players during a dizzying spell in August. Was applauded off the pitch by the Southend fans after starring as Pools beat the Shrimpers at Roots Hall and was equally influential the following week as his new side rose to the top of the league following a 3-1 win over Fylde. Had Chesterfield's defenders at his mercy and the Spirites directors scrambling for their cheque books after tormenting the eventual champions for 25 minutes two days later. It's hard to remember a player who has generated quite the same level of excitement in such a short space of time and for a brief moment it seemed he could be the man to fire Pools back to the Football League. However, a serious hamstring injury at Chesterfield derailed Pools' promotion push and, while the Frenchman returned much sooner than expected and scored a spectacular winner against Ebbsfleet, persistent groin problems limited his contribution for the remainder of the campaign. After lasting just 10 minutes during an abortive comeback attempt against Southend in March, his season was declared over and he returned to his homeland to recover. Photo: FRANK REID 2022
