Stephen Dobbie’s men were the better side for much of Tuesday night’s game, especially in the first-half where they were dominant.
But the Seasiders failed to show a clinical touch in front of goal, squandering two or three gilt-edged chances, while the Baggies took their opportunities when they came their way.
Here’s how Pool's players rated:
13. SUB: Sonny Carey - 5/10
For Anderson, 46 Ineffective. Struggled to have the same sort of impact as Keshi Anderson, the man he replaced at the break. Photo: CameraSport - Rich Linley
14. SUB: Josh Bowler - 5/10
For Rogers, 63 Tried to be too clever with his fancy flicks when he just needed to keep it simple. Attacks broke down as a result. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
15. SUB: Brad Holmes - 6/10
For Fiorini, 74 Chased down every lost cause and rightly earned applause for his closing down. Had a shot blocked too. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
