Here's what our Hartlepool United writer Robbie Stelling made of the Pools players as they gained ground in the race for the top seven by beating relegation-threatened Eastleigh at the weekend.
1. Nick Hayes: 6
Kept his second successive clean sheet - and his fourth in 11 appearances since signing for Pools - but still does not look altogether convincing. Tried to dominate his area but survived a nervous moment late on when he recovered well enough to deny Temitope Eweka after failing to deal with a deep ball into his box. Photo: Frank Reid
2. Jay Benn: 7
Flashed a half-volley wide from a decent position in the first half but worked hard, defended well and won the ball high up the pitch on a couple of occasions. Photo: Frank Reid
3. Maxim Kouogun: 8
Lost out on one occasion late in the second half but was otherwise excellent and carried the ball out of defence well a handful of times. Photo: Frank Reid
4. Jack Hunter: 8
Looks really assured at centre-half and reads the game ever so well. Photo: Frank Reid
