Here's how Pool's players rated during the 1-0 loss...
7. MAN OF THE MATCH: Kenny Dougall - 7/10
Pool’s standout performer. Caught the eye with some sharp, incisive passing, especially in the first-half.
8. Demetri Mitchell - 7/10
A real danger on the break and combined excellently with Keshi Anderson at times. Decision making needs to improve though.
9. Keshi Anderson - 7/10
A real livewire throughout and caused Birmingham no end of problems. Final ball needed to be better though.
10. Owen Dale - 6/10
Quiet. Worked hard for the team and there was no shortage of effort, but needed to impact the game more.
11. Gary Madine - 6/10
Looked to hold the ball up well and bring others into the game. Flicked over with one effort. But at his best with another striker alongside him.
12. SUB: Josh Bowler - 6/10
For Mitchell, 68'
Had Pool’s biggest chance but denied by a smart save. Threatened with his dribbling but final ball and shot needs to be better.
