Here's what our Hartlepool United writer Robbie Stelling made of the Pools players as they recorded back-to-back victories for just the third time all season by beating 10-man Gateshead 2-1 in midweek.

Stuck to his task well and managed to provide a real threat going forward, combining effectively with Luke Charman. Photo: Frank Reid

One or two nice touches but was too peripheral for the most part. Photo: Frank Reid
7. Nathan Sheron: 6
Covered plenty of ground but struggled to get to grips with the metronomic Jacob Butterfield. Photo: Frank Reid
8. Jamie Miley: 7
Was wasted out on the right-hand side but grew into the game in the second half and started to make Pools tick in the closing stages. Produced perhaps the moment of the match when he covered the length of the pitch to cut out a Gateshead counter-attack when the visitors looked destined to score. Photo: Frank Reid
