5. Luke Hendrie: C
Was a solid, steady, albeit unspectacular replacement for Dodds until he too had his campaign cut short when he suffered a serious hamstring injury in February. Returning for his third spell with Pools, Hendrie offered versatility but lacked dynamism. A decent defender, he was always willing to get forward although his final ball sometimes let him down. Not altogether impossible he will be back at the Suit Direct again next season. Photo: Mark Fletcher
6. Louis Stephenson: B
Scored his first senior goal against City of Liverpool in an emphatic FA Trophy win in December and followed that up by making his league debut and signing his maiden professional contract just after Christmas. After making a handful of appearances, the teenage defender lost his place following a difficult afternoon at Solihull and had to bide his time before getting another chance as more experienced central-defenders were preferred as fill-ins ahead of him. When he did eventually return to the side, he produced a man-of-the-match performance in a vital win over in-form Halifax and has become a firm fan favourite ever since. Full of energy and a real threat when going forward, his defensive vulnerabilities have occasionally been exposed, such as when Maidenhead's Sam Barratt gave him the run around in Berkshire. Nevertheless, the popular 18-year-old has established himself as one to watch. Photo: Mark Fletcher
7. Campbell Darcy: B
All of a sudden, Pools look like being spoilt for choice at right-back. After making his debut during a late cameo against Aldershot, he announced himself with a scintillating second half showing the following weekend against Dagenham & Redbridge. Fearless, broad-shouldered and with the running power required of modern full-backs, he missed out on what could have been a first start on the final day after turning his ankle in training.

8. Kwaku Oduroh: D
It's hard to be too hard on the 21-year-old, whose two appearances in blue and white came against Barnet and Gateshead, two of the best sides in the league, although he struggled and failed to last the distance in either of them. A little lightweight, his education at Manchester City would suggest he still has a bright future in the game, it just hasn't happened at Pools. Photo: Mark Fletcher
