Hartlepool United drew 0-0 with Southend United for the third successive meeting between the two sides on Saturday.

Adam Campbell spurned a gilt-edged chance to put the visitors in front midway through the first half while Southend's Josh Walker struck the inside of the post five minutes after the restart. Lawrence felt Pools just about shaded the contest and his side looked comfortable for large parts of the afternoon as they extended their unbeaten run to five National League matches. Here's a look back on 10 things we learned from the trip to Essex.
