Jack Compton.... best performance so far this season.

Harrison or Mirfin they were both 9 out of 10, Compton was an 8.

Flinders 6

Duckworth 7
Harrison 9
Mirfin 9
Austin 7

Franks 6
Woods 8
Tshibola 8
Compton 8

Harewood 6
Morgan 6

Those obviously aren't the official ratings just mine.

Thought Franks had a stinker today, didn't seem up for it at all

Franks looked knackered from the kick off, and revereted back to his usual poor performance. Compton man of the match for me, with Harrison a close 2nd.

To be fair to Franks he was put on the left for most of the game as Moore doesn't rate Horwood defensively and I reckon as soon as he saw Compton was actually fancying doing his job tonight he thought he'd have the beating of him, and to be fair he came close to scoring cutting in past him three or four times.

Franks put in a shift like he always does but he's very right footed and will never do anything on the left.

Fair play to Franks, he's said he played badly on twitter.

Nice to see a pools player using twitter more appropriately for a change!

Mirfin for me closely behind harrison, first time in god knows how many years we have 2 quality centre halves on the pitch at the same time

Four outstanding performances tonight; the two centre halves and the two centre mids.

Woods was everywhere tonight, he gets my man of the match but the other three mentioned pushed him close for me.

Thought Flinders did well tonight also.

Mention to Marvin Morgan. I think he'll do ok once he gets match fit.

Morgan is certainly a big lad who looks awkward to play against he'll win us plenty of free kicks in and around the box he took his goal well. Not sure him and Marlon are an ideal front two though they both are suited to a similar role with someone playing off them but Moore didn't have much more chance tonight and we won, so credit to everyone who played. They both react to what has happened rather than gamble on what might.

Pretty sure Franks is one of our better players in terms of using both feet.

Compton for me.

A few really good performances tonight all mentioned already. Compton on that form is a player we could really do with until the end of the season. Isn't it better for all parties when he does his talking on the pitch?

For me Woods just shaded man of the match. A few good challenges and he really runs his heart out for the 90 minutes. Makes you wonder what managers were seeing when Walker was picked in front of him week in week out.

Woods for me he never stopped all night and put some cracking tackles in but saying that neither did Tosh

Woods is turning into a real gem, he works hard, he tackles and can also pass a ball. What length of contract is he on.

Woods is certainly good player but he tires massively from about 70th minute and struggles to be as involved as prior to this.

Mirfin and Harrison were outstanding and one of those has to get man of the match. In regards to not having 2 quality centre backs together for a long time, we had a ridiculously good partnership majority of last season in Burgess & Baldwin

According to the commentary on Pools Player, Flinders made a few class saves....wasn't there one near the end that was particularly good??

If it was the diving save he made from a header I thought it was one for the cameras but it still needed saving and to be fair he did very well, lots of long balls going into the box and he punched most of them away that he came for.

The one at the end was good but youd be disappointed if he didnt save it.
