Here's how Pool's players rated during yesterday's 1-0 win:
.
Keshi Anderson was in fine form for the Seasiders on his first start since January
. Stuart Moore - 7/10
A little nervy on the ball and survived one scare, but made some important saves on his Blackpool debut.
. Jordan Gabriel - 7/10
Always quick to press, which helped Pool regularly win the ball back and caused problems with his mazy runs forward.
. Marvin Ekpiteta - 7/10
Looked a little rusty early on, which was to be expected given his lengthy absence. But otherwise very good.
. Jordan Thorniley - 7/10
Unflustered display from start to finish. Had little to do, but came close with a volley he lashed over the bar.
. James Husband - 8/10
Got forward superbly while remaining defensively sound. Thrived wearing the captain’s armband.
7. Kevin Stewart - 8/10
Strong display on his first start since recovering from injury. Threaded through some really clever forward passes.
8. Demetri Mitchell - 8/10
A constant threat on both flanks with his direct runs and claimed a lovely assist for Ellis Simms’ decisive goal.
9. Elliot Embleton - 7/10
Involved in a lot of Blackpool’s good attacking play, but a little wasteful from his set-pieces. Came close with two efforts.
10. MAN OF THE MATCH: Keshi Anderson - 8/10
A danger throughout in a lively display on his first start since the start of January. Unfortunate not to score.
11. Brad Holmes - 7/10
Keen to impress on his first professional start. Made bright runs but was unfortunate to pick up a harsh booking.
12. SUB: Ellis Simms - 8/10
For Holmes, 71'
Made an instant impact off the bench thanks to his emphatic finish, which continues his fine form with three goals in two games.
