Here's how Pool's players rated during their 1-1 draw:
1. Chris Maxwell - 6/10
Produced a good save to deny Kasey Palmer, but could do nothing about the goal. Distribution was hit and miss.
2. Callum Connolly - 6/10
Made a vital goal-saving block early on, but still doesn’t look natural at right-back. On the receiving end of some tough challenges.
3. Richard Keogh - 7/10
A good debut for the Seasiders. Didn’t have to worry about Chris Martin’s pace in behind, but defended well.
4. James Husband - 7/10
Tough going in the first-half but defended stoutly and always remained calm on the ball. No thrills, but got the job done.
5. Luke Garbutt - 7/10
Produced excellent quality from his set-piece deliveries again and again. Guilty of conceding some cheap free-kicks though.
6. Reece James - 5/10
A tough debut up against Bristol City’s experienced midfield, which included his brother Matty.
