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.
9. Adam Campbell: 9
Outstanding. Scored for the second time in a week when he fired home from close range and produced a performance that reminded Pools fans what he can do having endured a torrid time at Victoria Park since arriving as a marquee signing in the summer of 2024. Never lets his side down without the ball and worked hard to track the marauding Angelo Cappello all afternoon but showed his considerable quality in possession and was part of a number of impressive Pools moves.

10. Matty Daly: 6
Felt a bit like he was on the fringes of the game at times but tried his best to make things happen, even if he didn't look especially well-suited to an unfamiliar role out on the flank. Photo: Adam Cook/The Corner Photography
11. Alex Reid: 7
Didn't have a whole host of opportunities to end his recent goal drought on his first start since September but led the line well, provided Pools with a focal point and defended set-pieces superbly. Photo: Adam Cook/The Corner Photography
12. Besart Topallaj: 7
Made a real impact from the bench and showed impressive presence of mind to pull the ball back for Adam Campbell to score the winner. Photo: Adam Cook/The Corner Photography
