Here's how Pool's players rated:
1. Chris Maxwell - 8/10
Made some crucial saves and blocks. Quick off his line and plucked cross after cross out of the air.
2. Ollie Turton - 8/10
Made a vital last-ditch block in the second-half to keep Pool on level terms. Defensively superb throughout.
3. Marvin Ekpiteta - 7/10
Conceded a couple of cheap fouls but otherwise stood up to Accrington’s physical challenge well.
4. MAN OF THE MATCH: Dan Ballard - 8/10
Won header after header as Pool faced a barrage of long balls into their box. Made some important blocks too.
5. Luke Garbutt - 7/10
Defended resolutely throughout against a physically demanding front two. Good delivery from set-pieces.
6. Kenny Dougall - 6/10
Scrapped for every loose ball in what was an ugly game, but didn’t quite hit the heights of previous outings.
