Take a look at our end of term grades after Pools finished an up-and-down season in 12th:
25. Mani Dieseruvwe: A+
Dieseruvwe has been, quite simply, the difference-maker for Pools this season. He scored a brace on his debut against Gateshead, including a last minute winner, and has never looked back since. His 25 goals in all competitions is almost twice as many as his previous career-best, which was the 13 he bagged for Halifax the season before signing for Pools, and he became just the fourth player in blue and white to net 20 or more league goals in a single season in the last 50 years. Played almost every minute of every game for which he has been available, reached double figures for assists, never looked like missing from the spot, formed a fantastic partnership with Joe Grey, led the line with aplomb and defended set-pieces superbly. He was rewarded with a first call-up to the England C squad and Pools will have a job on their hands to keep hold of their star striker this summer. Photo: Mark Fletcher
26. Joe Grey: A
Built on the promise he has shown for so much of his fledgling career with a breakthrough season in terms of goals, finishing the campaign with 13, including seven in his last 13 games. Quickly became essential to new manager Kevin Phillips and his pace and willingness to get in behind provided a threat that Pools were otherwise lacking. Not simply a speedster, the versatile attacker - who now has more than 100 appearances under his belt for Pools - has become an intelligent footballer who often picks the right pass and is developing into an instinctive finisher.

27. Josh Umerah: C-
After successive seasons in which he reached double figures for goals, Umerah scored on the opening day but was sent off - very harshly - as Pools began their campaign at home against Gateshead the following weekend. Injuries and having to play second fiddle to Mani D have seriously hampered his progress since and, while he finished the season with just two goals, he does at least look like he's nearing a return to fitness. Whether Poolies will see him again in blue and white, however, remains up for debate. Photo: Frank Reid
28. Chris Wreh: D
His record would suggest he is never going to be a prolific goalscorer and he failed to find the net in 12 appearances, albeit seven of those from the bench, for Pools. His game seems to be more about holding the ball up and bringing others into it, but supporters never really saw the best of him, although he might well make the case that it's much harder to make an impact as a substitute. Has made a positive impression since signing on loan for Tamworth, scoring six goals in 18 appearances as the Lambs finished the season as National League North champions.
