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.

9. Callum Cooke - 7
A performance to build on. Looked good in the No.10 role and linked with Umerah well. Just needed to be a little more clinical with his final ball. Booked. Picture by FRANK REID Photo: Frank Reid
In and out of the game after a lively opening. Really good driving run midway through the second half which almost brought the opener. Subbed. (Credit: Mark Fletcher | MI News) Photo: Mark Fletcher
Worked tirelessly from the off. Gave Nightingale and Pearce plenty to think about. Brilliant save from Tzanev to deny him his first goal. (Credit: Mark Fletcher | MI News) Photo: Mark Fletcher
Came on around the hour mark and added a bit more impetus to Pools after Wimbledon had started the second half brightly. Booked. Picture by FRANK REID Photo: Frank Reid
