Here's what our Hartlepool United writer Robbie Stelling made of the Pools players as they moved to within three points of the National League play-off places by beating Halifax Town at the weekend.
5. Cameron John: 6
Didn't look particularly comfortable having been shifted out to left-back and made a couple of uncharacteristic mistakes, giving the ball away in the first half before allowing Owen Bray to steal in-behind him after the break. Was much-improved after returning to centre-half and made one important defensive intervention as Pools saw the game out. Photo: Adam Cook/The Corner Photography
6. Nathan Sheron: 7
Conceded the penalty in the second half when he barged into Angelo Cappello. While it might have been ever so slightly soft, Sheron challenged from the wrong side and failed to get close to the ball. Other than that, produced a couple of careless passes, including one that went straight out of play, but was typically excellent out of possession and was relentless in his screening of the back four.

7. Jack Hunter: 6
Adds size and presence to the Pools midfield but not a lot of dynamism. Moved the ball well enough but was a bit peripheral at times and was more solid than spectacular. Was a bit fortunate when he skewed a clearance onto his own crossbar late on but produced one excellent bit of defending at the back post as the hosts pressed for an equaliser.

8. Jamie Miley: 7
Will need to impact games more if he's to establish himself as a regular in the Pools side but his quality is clear to see and he caused problems with a handful of driving runs and purposeful forward passes. Photo: Adam Cook/The Corner Photography
