The Seasiders squandered a first-half lead in Stephen Dobbie’s first game in charge to lose their eighth away game on the spin.
Despite the result, there were some signs for optimism, with Blackpool looking well organised during an impressive first-half display.
Here’s how Pool’s players rated:
1. Disappointment

2. Chris Maxwell - 6/10
Preferred to Dan Grimshaw. Much quicker off his goalline and made two or three important stops, but couldn’t do much about the three goals. Photo: CameraSport - Andrew Kearns
3. Andy Lyons - 7/10
In for Jordan Gabriel and headed Blackpool in front with his fourth goal since signing in January. Could have had a second too. Photo: CameraSport - Andrew Kearns
4. Curtis Nelson - 6/10
Won some important headers and blocked plenty, but given plenty to do up against Luton’s lively frontline. Wore the armband with Connolly starting on the bench. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
5. Jordan Thorniley - 6/10
Back from illness and similarly to Nelson, did well to continuously throw his body on the line to make crucial blocks. Photo: CameraSport - Andrew Kearns
6. James Husband - 5/10
At fault for Luton’s second and conceded the needless free-kick for their equalising goal, which changed the course of the game. Photo: CameraSport - Andrew Kearns
