Paul Hartley’s side drew a line under their disappointing start to the campaign at Walsall with an encouraging display against the recently relegated side.
Josh Umerah went close in the second half before Euan Murray would hit the bar late in the game as Pools had to settle for a point.
And here is how Pools fared in their stalemate at the Suit Direct Stadium against Wimbledon.

5. Euan Murray - 7
Agonisingly close to grabbing a late winner when hitting the bar. Strong performance from the defender on the ball and in his defensive duties. Picture by Martin Swinney Photo: Martin Swinney
Put in a superb cross in the first half which almost brought the opener. Quieter after the break but defended well. Picture by FRANK REID Photo: Frank Reid
Game passed him by a little bit and was guilty of giving possession away cheaply in midfield on a couple of occasions. Subbed on the hour. Picture by FRANK REID Photo: Frank Reid
Anchored the midfield well in what was an assured display from the skipper. Always showing for the ball. Caught out once in the first half but otherwise solid. (Credit: Mark Fletcher | MI News) Photo: Mark Fletcher
