Here's how Pool's players rated:
7. MAN OF THE MATCH: Callum Connolly - 8/10
Thrived in a midfield three. Got about the pitch superbly and offered a big threat going forward, heading against the post.
8. Kenny Dougall - 7/10
Always offering himself and made some important interceptions in the middle of the park. Did well to finish the 90.
9. Keshi Anderson - 6/10
No shortage of effort or endeavour but well marshalled by Boro’s backline. Not quite as influential as recent weeks.
10. Jerry Yates - 7/10
Tireless with his non-stop running. Held the ball up well and brought others into play. But short on chances.
11. Gary Madine - 7/10
At the heart of a lot of Blackpool’s good forward play. Came so close to levelling with an audacious looping effort.
12. SUB: Josh Bowler - 7/10
For Gretarsson, 73'
Caused all sorts of problems down the right flank with his mazy dribbling. Crossing was much better too.
