Benik Afobe’s second-half effort was enough for the home side to claim the three points in a game of little quality in the capital.
The Seasiders were improved from their horror show at Rotherham in midweek but it still wasn’t enough to avoid a second successive defeat.
Here’s how Blackpool’s players rated:
13. SUB: Ian Poveda - 6/10
For Yates, 71 Showed some trickery on the ball and a willingness to face up defenders, but couldn’t quite produce an end product. Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker
14. SUB: CJ Hamilton - 6/10
For Husband, 82 Used his pace to good effect to get in behind late on but couldn’t quite pick out a teammate with his crosses. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
15. SUB: Sonny Carey - 5/10
For Patino, 89 Only on the pitch for a few minutes still found time to make some really poor decisions. His shot into Row Z summed up Pool’s afternoon. Photo: CameraSport - David Horton
