9. Adam Campbell - 7
Made the opener with a pinpoint cross for Mani Dieseruvwe, was at the heart of a number of intricate attacking moves and was excellent out of possession. Almost scored his third goal of pre-season but his curling effort was turned past the post by Richardson's fingertips. Clearly an extremely intelligent footballer.

10. Luke Charman - 6
Struggled to keep up with the pace of the game and didn't make much of an impact going forward, although he produced a handful of moments of determined defending. Can be forgiven for looking a bit leggy given that he has missed much of pre-season with a back injury but, even so, looks lean and strong. Should get a better idea of his qualities as he works back to full fitness. Photo: Hartlepool United Football Club
11. Mani Dieseruvwe - 7
Scored his fifth goal of pre-season with a perfectly placed header, stooping low to head Adam Campbell's cross into the bottom corner. Battled for long balls although, to their credit, Sunderland's two young centre-halves competed well. His athleticism means he is equally capable of turning defences as he is holding the ball up, which makes him such a handful. Photo: Mark Fletcher
12. Nathan Sheron - 7
Replaced the injured Sloggett 10 minutes before half time and did really well, winning the ball back all over the place with a tireless display. Looks a good footballer too, moving the ball forward and with intent. Was involved in a couple of very neat moves on the edge of the box. Photo: Hartlepool United Football Club
