The first shot on target of the afternoon came through Josh Bowler - who called Sam Tickle into action with an effort from the edge of the box.
Down the other end, former Seasiders defender Will Aimson had a golden opportunity to open the scoring, but headed over the crossbar from close-range.
With the game lacking a bit of life, Ian Evatt turned to his substitutes ahead of the hour mark.
There was an almost instant impact from Dale Taylor, with the former Wigan loanee breaking down the right side, before putting the ball on a plate for Ashley Fletcher to finish from close-range.
Aimson wasn’t far off immediately pulling the home side back level, but Bailey Peacock-Farrell was on hand with an important reaction save.
Blackpool made the most of this let off, and quickly made it 2-0 in the 63rd minute.
The duo involved in the opener linked up once again, with Fletcher flicking a ball from the right into Taylor’s pass, leaving the Northern Ireland forward with a simple finish.
