Our Hartlepool United writer Robbie Stelling has graded and assessed every Pools player as Nicky Featherstone's side gear up for the National League run-in.
21. Kian Foreman: B
The 18-year-old enjoyed a memorable start to October, making his Pools debut, celebrating his birthday and signing his first professional contract. Showed some flashes of promise during a stint in and around the first team but never quite looked like doing enough to press home his claim and has spent the last few months out on loan at Northern Premier League Premier Division side Hebburn Town, scoring a sensational solo goal against Whitby in January.

22. Michael Dacosta Gonzalez: E
The Spanish-born winger had the feel of a bit of a hit and hope signing when he arrived on loan from Bournemouth in September and failed to make any sort of impression in the North East, featuring just twice. Played the final 15 minutes of a 1-1 draw with Tamworth before being handed his one and only Pools start against rivals York at the beginning of October. Looked bright enough without ever really attacking with much conviction and his signing was symptomatic of the previous regime's scattergun approach to recruitment.

23. Pharrell Brown: C-
The youngster was brought in on loan to provide Pools with another attacking option as Nicky Featherstone looked to make use of his links with Hull having started his career with the East Yorkshire side. Has looked bright at times but Featherstone does not appear to feel as though he's ready to start and all of his nine appearances so far have come from the bench, making it difficult for him to make any sort of sustained impact.

24. Ashley Nathaniel-George: E
Started two games for Pools either side of Christmas and never really looked up to speed having missed much of the early part of the season through injury before falling down the pecking order at parent-club York. Showed one or two flashes of promise on his debut against Braintree but barely made an impression during the Boxing Day defeat to Scunthorpe and wasn't seen again after falling ill midway through his loan spell. Not one that will live long in the memory. Photo: Frank Reid
