Hartlepool drew 0-0 with high flying Scunthorpe at Victoria Park, but had a profitable weekend, as they sold defender Jack Baldwin to Peterborough for £500,000 on transfer deadline day.


Pools kept a clean sheet without the centre back, but remain closer to the bottom than the top of League Two.


Pools manager Colin Cooper said: “It’s a decent point. We defended well and looked a threat.


“Their keeper has made good saves, ours hasn’t had any to make.”


The manager said of Baldwin’s move: “We got him for nothing and have been paid handsomely. I wish him well.”


POOLS: Flinders, Austin (Sweeney 78), Collins, Burgess, Holden, Walker, Walton, Monkhouse (Harewood 81), Williams, Barmby (Compton 81), James. Subs: Rafferty, Poole, Rodney, Hawkins.
