Jeff Stelling's Hartlepool United player ratings as woeful Pools beaten by Kidderminster Harriers

Impossible not to feel a little sorry for the young goalkeeper. He is physically imposing, but is reluctant to come off his line to claim crosses. Kidderminster's shambolic first goal came from a deep floated corner which he might have been expected to claim, but he is lacking the confidence to do so. A terrible punch in the second half presented the home team with another chance which they failed to take. To his credit, he made a couple of sharp saves.

Neo Eccleston: 3

A night to forget for Eccleston, though I doubt he will be able to for a little while. Booked inside the first five minutes, he struggled to come to terms with Reece Devine in particular. Still tried to get forward, but was careless in possession. Surprising that he was not substituted at the interval.
