13. SUB: Shayne Lavery - 6/10
For Madine, 71
Lively as always playing down the centre, rather than out wide. Got in behind on one occasion when he took too long to shoot. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
14. SUB: CJ Hamilton - 6/10
For Carey, 82
Most of his work in the final stages came defensively which he carried out well to help Pool get over the line. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
15. SUB: Theo Corbeanu - 6/10
For Yates, 82
Looked very eager to impress on his first outing and certainly looks to have plenty of pace about him. Photo: Blackpool FC
16. SUB: Jordan Thorniley - 6/10
For Thompson, 82
Did what was required playing out of position at left-back once Thompson was forced off with a knock. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
