Here's how Pool's players rated:
7. Grant Ward - 7/10
Won some important first and second balls in what was a scrappy game. Saw a long-range effort well saved.
8. Elliot Embleton - 5/10
Struggled to get himself in the game as Stanley packed the midfield. Will be a big miss against Sunderland though.
9. Sullay Kaikai - 6/10
Squandered two big chances to put Blackpool ahead, but was denied by a miraculous save on the second occasion.
10. Ellis Simms - 6/10
Won some important defensive headers and never stopped running, but struggled to hold the ball up at times.
11. Jerry Yates - 5/10
Not his night. No shortage of effort or endeavour but Accrington snuffed him out well, denying him any chances.
