Michael Appleton’s side can have no complaints with the result having been second best for the majority of the game.
Here’s how Blackpool’s players performed at the bet365 Stadium...
13. SUB: Kenny Dougall - 6/10
For Virtue, 46
At least put himself about and got in peoples’ faces, even if that meant conceding the odd free-kick here and there. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
14. SUB: Charlie Patino - 6/10
For Fiorini, 70
Didn’t see a great deal but what we did see was promising in terms of his quality on the ball and ability to shift past a player. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
15. SUB: Shayne Lavery - 6/10
For Yates, 82
Not enough time on the pitch to make an impact. Could be given his chance in the cup in midweek. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
