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.

5. Cameron John: 7
Was full of energy and made a handful of decent forward runs. Defended well and kept the lively Aaron Blair quiet all afternoon. Photo: Frank Reid

6. Nathan Sheron: 8
Screened the defence well and had one of his best games of the season with the ball at his feet. Photo: Frank Reid

7. Jamie Miley: 9
Played a huge role in the winning goal, driving into the area before his ball across the face was diverted straight into the path of Matty Daly by Nick Townsend. Was influential throughout and produced a number of incisive forward passes and purposeful runs. Photo: Frank Reid

8. Matty Daly: 8
One of his best games since returning to Pools, scored the winning goal from close range after half an hour, his fourth of the season, and made the home side tick all afternoon. Photo: Frank Reid
