Matt Scrafton's player ratings: Matty Virtue stands out as Blackpool labour to draw at Tranmere

Blackpool were unable to end 2019 on a high note as they laboured to an ugly 1-1 draw against Tranmere Rovers at Prenton Park today.

Here's how Pool's players rated:

1. Mark Howard - 7/10

Made a superb flying stop to save Pool late on. Had no chance with the goal but dominant from crosses. | jpimedia

Made some important last-ditch blocks but a little fortunate not to receive a second yellow card. | jpimedia

Struggled at times during the first half where his lack of pace became evident. Harshly booked. | jpimedia

Involved in Pools goal but struggled against the pace and power of Morgan Ferrier and turned too easily for the goal. | jpimedia

Clattered into a couple of challenges with plenty of force, receiving a yellow for one. A little too overzealous at times. | jpimedia

Gave away a few niggly fouls thanks to the whistle-happy referee. Put himself about and battled well. | jpimedia
