The triumph at the Super 6 Stadium was littered with a number of impressive performances – with new and old faces alike impressing as the National League campaign draws closer. But how did our Pools writer Dominic Scurr rate their performances? Scroll down and click through to the pages to see who he felt shone and struggled against the Blades:
5. Liam Noble - 8
Yet another fine midfield display from Noble as he scored his fourth goal in pre-season with a calmly taken effort. Pulled the strings in midfield all afternoon. Photo: FRANK REID
6. Jason Kennedy - 8
Marked his permanent deal at the club with two fine headers and another composed midfield display. Photo: Frank Reid
7. Luke James - 7
Persistently dangerous going forward particularly in the first half. James helped Pools threaten early on and deserved a goal himself. Photo: FRANK REID
8. Nicke Kabamba - 6
A quieter afternoon for the Pools number 9 as he was in and out of the game before being substituted. Photo: Frank Reid
