Here's how Pool's players rated:
7. Grant Ward - 8/10
Produced another tireless shift with constant closing down and winning of second balls. Work that can often go unnoticed.
8. Demetri Mitchell - 8/10
Provided a threat with his direct and explosive runs on his return to the side. Came off with cramp late on.
9. Sullay Kaikai - 7/10
Drifted in and out of the game at times in an attacking sense, but delivered a tireless shift defensively.
10. Ellis Simms - 7/10
Made a nuisance of himself with his height and physicality but squandered a big chance in the first-half.
11. Jerry Yates - 7/10
Kept largely quiet by Sunderland but put in another big physical shift. Denied by Lee Burge with an early curling effort.
12. SUB: Jordan Thorniley - 7/10
For Gretarsson, 76' Won plenty of headers and cleared crosses late on to help see the game out as Pool came under pressure.
