Here's how Pool's players rated:

1. Chris Maxwell - 5/10

Actually had little to do but will be disappointed with the manner of Gillingham’s first goal of the game.

Offered a minimal threat going forwards and played too many blind balls down into the channels.

One of Pool’s better performers but still gave away possession too often and was guilty of sitting too deep at times.

Endured a nightmare afternoon, playing a role in both of Gillingham’s goals before being hauled off.

Good going forwards but a little suspect defensively. Hit the woodwork late on with a free-kick.

A little quiet and not as influential as previous games. Had a late long-range effort that was well saved.
