Here's what our Hartlepool United writer Robbie Stelling made of the Pools players as they won at the Silverlake Stadium for the first time ever at the weekend.
1. George Evans: 8
Was almost caught out following a heavy touch in the first half, although he did well to stay calm and recover under pressure, while he might have been more assertive on one occasion in the second half period he failed to challenge Paul McCallum as a ball looped underneath his crossbar. Other than that, impressive again, even if he didn't have a save to make it the first half. Denied McCallum one-on-one after the break before producing a superb low save at his near post to keep out former Pools man Harvey Saunders and preserve his third clean sheet in five matches.

2. Jay Benn: 8
Looked like Eastleigh had tried to target him and exploit some of his supposed defensive weaknesses but he stood up to the task well while also managing to produce an outstanding attacking performance, constantly stealing in-behind the home side's bamboozled back line with a series of lung-busting forward runs. Would have been a nine had it not been for a poor final 10 minutes to the game that saw him allow Jack Hunter's ball to bounce over his foot and out for a throw before a bizarre back-pass that flew out for an Eastleigh corner, albeit he appeared to be struggling with a tight groin by that stage.

3. Maxim Kouogun: 8
One or two minor missteps in the second half but other than that another faultless display in the heart of the Pools defence, impressing in particular with his power, aerial prowess and athleticism. Photo: Frank Reid
4. Tom Parkes: 8
Hardly gave the experienced Paul McCallum a sniff all afternoon as the veteran skipper produced another captain's performance, continuing his fine recent form. Photo: Adam Cook/The Corner Photography
