Here's how Pool's players rated:
7. Connor Ronan - 5/10
Looked neat and tidy on his debut but Pools dreadful start gave him little opportunity to show what he can do.
8. Grant Ward - 4/10
Completely wasted in a central midfielders role. Looked off the pace early on before being brought off at half-time.
9. Nathan Delfouneso - 5/10
Looked a rare threat down the right flank during the first half but was otherwise kept relatively quiet.
10. Joe Nuttall - 4/10
Hold-up play was poor and squandered possession time and time again. Missed some good chances late on.
11. Gary Madine - 5/10
Battled well and showed glimpses of quality, but not enough to swing the game Blackpools way.
12. SUB: Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall - 6/10
For Ward, 46'
Looked calm and composed in possession and capped off his debut with a goal owing to the keepers error.
