Here's how Pool's players rated in their 2-0 defeat...
7. MAN OF THE MATCH: Grant Ward - 7/10
Pool’s standout performer. Had the bit between his teeth and took the game by the scruff of its neck. Came so close to equalising.
8. CJ Hamilton - 5/10
Rarely got in the game and his poor first touch saw too many attacks break down. Had a quiet start to the season.
9. Keshi Anderson - 6/10
Showed courage to keep playing in tight areas, but also guilty of overplaying at times. Hit and miss.
10. Tyreece John-Jules - 5/10
A couple of glimpses of his good footwork, but otherwise the game passed him by. Needs to have more of an impact.
11. Jerry Yates - 6/10
Squandered Pool’s clearest chance of the game, firing wide after his clever footwork. Otherwise short on supply.
12. SUB: Josh Bowler - 7/10
For Hamilton, 64' Made an instant impact by putting Cardiff on the back foot, skewing wide with one shot. Unfortunate not to start.
