Our Pools writer Dominic Scurr has dished out his player ratings – with plenty of praise for the new signings and a new triallist.

9. Adam Bale - 6
Worked as hard as ever but the game passed the midfielder by slightly in the second half as Pools failed to remain in control. Photo: Frank Reid
10. Gavan Holohan - 7
Got stuck in and did what he could to thwart York’s dominance without doing anything spectacular. Photo: Frank Reid
11. Josh Hawkes - 7
Introduced for Molyneux early on. Should have opened the scoring in the first half but could only scuff a good chance wide of the left post. Kept plucking away and remained positive going forward despite little success. Photo: FRANK REID
12. Niko Muir - 6
Never really got a sniff in the second half. Photo: Frank Reid
