Second-half goals from Andi Weimann and Alex Scott handed the Robs the win in this sleepy lunchtime encounter in front of the Sky Sports cameras.
The Seasiders barely threatened Max O’Leary’s goal, other than one glaring miss in the first-half when Jerry Yates somehow failed to hit the target with the goal at his mercy.
Here’s how Pool’s players rated:
7. Callum Connolly - 5/10
A difficult day in the middle of the park, which has been a constant theme of Blackpool’s season. Photo: CameraSport - Ian Cook
8. Sonny Carey - 5/10
Struggled to impose himself on the game. Not helped by having to swap positions after Madine’s injury. Photo: CameraSport - Ian Cook
9. Josh Bowler - 5/10
A long way off the Josh Bowler we saw last season. Confidence is on the floor. Tried to take the game to them but little came off. Photo: CameraSport - Ian Cook
10. Luke Garbutt - 5/10
Not at his best. Started on the left-hand side of midfield before being drafted into the centre despite Dougall and Patino being on the bench. Photo: CameraSport - Ian Cook
11. Jerry Yates - 5/10
Missed a golden chance to give Blackpool the lead against the run of play when it would have been easier to score. Photo: CameraSport - Ian Cook
12. Gary Madine - 6/10
Only lasted five minutes after picking up a painful looking injury after just 23 seconds. Another cruel injury blow. Photo: CameraSport - Ian Cook
