How Seasiders rated in narrow defeat to the Dons

A sickness bug had affected the Tangerines’ squad ahead of kick-off, but they were on top at the start of both halves and on another day might have taken something from the game.

Here’s how they rated out of 10:

Luke Southwood 6

Had no chance with the Wimbledon strike from Alistair Smith.

Zac Ashworth 6

Battled hard under the Plough Lane floodlights, flashpoint with Stockley at the end of the game was a negative point.

Olly Casey 6

Did well to stand firm to a late Stockley effort after Morgan made a mistake.

Jordan Brown 5

Wasn’t able to repeat his goalscoring feat against Hornchurch, was subbed during the second half.

Leighton Clarkson 6

Did well on the day despite being affected by the pre-game sickness bug.

Albie Morgan 6

Almost gave Stockley a gift in the closing stages of the contest.

Tom Bloxham 5

Unable to contribute as much as he did against Hornchurch, and was subbed at the interval.

Hayden Coulson 6

The game did not quite fall for him, but battled hard.

Dale Taylor 6

Struggled to make much headway in the 77 minutes he was on the field.

Ilmari Niskanen 7

Showed plenty of energy down the right flank and posed Wimbledon some questions.

Jordan Williams 6

Involved with the action especially as the visitors looked for a point at Plough Lane.

Substitutes

Dion Charles 6

Did well in the second half, as Blackpool pushed for an equaliser.

CJ Hamilton 6

Gave Blackpool some much-needed energy when he came on.

Niall Ennis 6

Saw his effort go agonisingly wide in injury time, in a decent showing from the bench.

Jerry Yates 6

Replaced Clarkson at half-time
