Here's how Pool's players rated during Saturday's 2-1 defeat:
1. Chris Maxwell - 7/10
Saved well from Evans but powerless to stop the winner
2. Callum Connolly - 4/10
Hauled down Afobe to put Blackpool up against it
3. Richard Keogh - 7/10
Solid display to answer early-season critics
4. Marvin Ekpiteta - 7/10
Body on the line for undermanned Pool but it wasn't quite enough
5. Luke Garbutt - 7/10
A couple of thunderous efforts on goal
6. Reece James - 7/10
Had to work overtime and did so
