6. Reagan Ogle - 6
Showed plenty of energy and endeavour down the right. Sometimes that was his downfall as he over-ran the ball and gave away possession on a few occasions. Set up Daly for an equaliser. Photo: Will Matthews
7. Nicky Featherstone - 7
Linked up well with Matty Daly to get a good shot away which was well saved by Jojo Wollacott. A strong performance from the Pools skipper but had nothing to show for it. Photo: Mark Fletcher
8. Tom Crawford - 7
His first start in the league since February and certainly looked the part. Always showing for the ball, intercepting and tidy in possession until stoppage time as he was dispossessed in the build-up to Swindon's third. Can be pleased with his display. Photo: Bernadette Malcolmson
