Here's how Pool's players rated:
7. Grant Ward - 6/10
Constantly having to look over his shoulder to pick up Callum O’Hare, but battled hard and showed good energy.
8. MAN OF THE MATCH: Josh Bowler - 7/10
Pool’s most dangerous outlet. Caused Coventry countless problems with his direct, mazy runs into the box.
9. Keshi Anderson - 6/10
Produced one or two bright moments and brought a good save out of the Coventry keeper. Kept at it when the chips were down.
10. Shayne Lavery - 6/10
A complete menace all night but squandered three gilt-edged chances, when you’d normally back him to score.
11. Jerry Yates - 5/10
Worryingly anonymous and subdued. Not often you see Yates being taken off, but he could have no complaints.
12. SUB: Kenny Dougall - 6/10
For James, 72'
Brought some calmness to Blackpool’s build-up play as they desperately searched for a late route back into the game.
