9.
Jack Diamond 6. One or two nice bits of play, but no real end product. Lost the ball on a couple of occasions, including close to his own box in stoppage-time when he just needed to clear his lines.
10.
Jon Stead 8. Blazed one great opportunity over the cross-bar, but moments later he popped up with a goal and, in the end, he was Town's match-winner.
11.
Jack Muldoon 7. Came close to breaking the deadlock on 22 minutes and was then involved in what proved to be the game's only goal. His movement and energy caused Pools problems.
