Here's how Pool's players rated:
1. Chris Maxwell - 6/10
Not at fault for either of Tranmeres goals. Distribution was good and punched a number of crosses away from danger.
2. Taylor Moore - 6/10
No shortage of effort and desire getting up and down the right flank but will enjoy better days defensively.
3. Ben Heneghan - 5/10
Given a torrid 90 minutes by Morgan Ferrier for the second time this season. Struggled with his pace and power.
4. James Husband - 6/10
Allowed Morgan Ferrier to get across him for Tranmeres opener but otherwise got forward well from the back.
5. Calum Macdonald - 6/10
A quiet display. Well marshalled in the first half but became more of an influence in the second period.
6. Liam Feeney - 6/10
Too relaxed in his closing down for Tranmeres opener but involved in much of Pools good attacking play.
