Here's what our Hartlepool United writer Robbie Stelling made of the Pools players after they battled to a second successive goalless draw over the Easter weekend.

9. Adam Campbell: 6
Full of his usual willingness and commitment and was involved in a couple of decent moves while his determined pressing helped create a chance for Reid in the first half but continues to lack conviction and confidence in his attacking play. Photo: Frank Reid

10. Alex Reid: 6
Came close when he poked Benn's cross the wrong side of the post in the first half but was otherwise starved of service. Makes some good runs and kept the Dale defence occupied, even if there were times when he could have been a little bit stronger. Photo: Frank Reid

11. Tyrese Sinclair: 8
Almost scored a brilliant goal in the first half but was denied by a fingertip save from Manchester City loanee Oliver Whatmuff. Caused Dale problems all afternoon, producing a number of deft turns and driving runs, while he worked tirelessly without the ball throughout. Photo: FRANK REID

12. Charlie Caton: 6
Almost forced an error from Callum Perry late on but didn't make too much of an impact other than that. Photo: Frank Reid
