Michael Appleton’s side were flat throughout and struggle to create chances as the Seasiders missed up another good chance to get back to winning ways.
Here’s how Pool’s players rated...
1. Frustration

2. Chris Maxwell - 5/10
Can have no complaints for the penalty but let down by the defence after making a big save before the first. Previously made an important stop with his legs. Photo: CameraSport - Andrew Kearns
3. Callum Connolly - 6/10
Given plenty of defending to do with the minimal support from Bowler after being preferred to Lyons. Stuck at it though. Photo: CameraSport - Andrew Kearns
4. MAN OF THE MATCH: Marvin Ekpiteta - 7/10
Defended excellently once again only to limp off injured after Watford’s first goal. Summed up Blackpool’s afternoon. Photo: CameraSport - Andrew Kearns
5. Jordan Thorniley - 6/10
Fairly solid and reliable. Can’t recall too much, if anything he did wrong so a fairly typical display from the defender. Photo: CameraSport - Andrew Kearns
6. James Husband - 6/10
Saw a lot of the ball during the first-half but didn’t do a lot with it, but had more of an impact in the second. Photo: CameraSport - Andrew Kearns
