Jay Spearing helped dictate play from the middle of the park for the Seasiders | jpimedia

Barely had a save to make other than a late claim from a dangerous low cross. Took too long to distribute the ball. | jpimedia

Gave the ball away on a couple of occasions but battled to the end against the tricky Duncan Watmore. | jpimedia

Kept the dangerous Charlie Wyke quiet for the most part. Did the basics well and helped keep hold of possession. | jpimedia

Impressed on his return to the side in place of the suspended Ben Heneghan. Even came close to a late goal. | jpimedia

Caught out of position on a couple of occasions but received little protection. Unfortunate not to score. | jpimedia
