Here's how Pool's players rated...
.
Simms scored twice as Blackpool beat Doncaster to book their place in the play-offs
. Chris Maxwell - 8/10
Made two or three important stops, including a stunning one at a vital time to keep another clean sheet and win League One’s ‘Golden Glove’.
. Jordan Gabriel - 7/10
A constant threat going forwards and almost played like a winger at times. Brought off at half-time on a booking.
. Dan Ballard - 7/10
Made a couple of uncharacteristic mistakes early on, but otherwise assured and dominant as always.
. Jordan Thorniley - 8/10
Dominant in the air and constantly in the right place at the right time to clear. Continues to keep Ekpiteta out.
. James Husband - 7/10
Solid and reliable as ever but brought off as a precaution after picking up a needless yellow card.
. Luke Garbutt - 8/10
Came close with an early free-kick and denied late on by a flying save. Continues to thrive in a more attacking wing-back role.
7. Ollie Turton - 8/10
Mr Reliable once again. Excellent in the midfield before reverting to wing-back, where he remained defensively solid.
8. Kenny Dougall - 8/10
Picked up loose balls and made some vital interceptions. Stepped up to the role in Grant Ward’s absence.
9. Elliot Embleton - 7/10
Got into some great positions and demonstrated great footwork in tight areas. Just a little wasteful in the final third.
10. MAN OF THE MATCH: Ellis Simms - 9/10
Won the game with two well-taken goals. Led the line superbly, held the ball up and brought others into play.
11. Jerry Yates - 8/10
Beginning to get more of an understanding with his strike partner Simms. Flick-on for the opening goal was key.
12. SUB: Kevin Stewart - 6/10
For Gabriel, 46'
Short cameo barely lasted 15 minutes through no fault of his own as Neil Critchley protected the midfielder from the fussy referee.
