Here's how Pool's players rated:

Player ratings

Mark Howard - 7

Produced a number of smart stops to keep Blackpool in it before they embarked on their inspired comeback.

Michael Nottingham - 8

Netted his first goal for Blackpool to get his side back on level terms. Defended well at right back and is a threat in the opposition box.

Donervon Daniels - 8

Put his head where it hurts and made a number of key blocks on his second debut for the Seasiders.

Curtis Tilt - 8

Won every header and dominated in the tackle in what was his first game of the season following the summer speculation.

Nick Anderton - 7

Put in a defensively solid display at left back against a dangerous Barnsley attack while also providing plenty of support going forwards.

Jay Spearing - 7

Marshalled the midfield as you come to expect from the experienced Pool skipper. Played a couple of incisive passes in the final third.

Jordan Thompson - 7

Caught the eye with a number of impressive set-piece deliveries. Went close with a rasping drive from the edge of the box.

John O’Sullivan - 7

Should have added his name to the scoresheet when he wasted an early chance, but otherwise impressive.

Harry Pritchard - 7

Found the top corner with the outside of his boot to stylishly bag his first goal as a Football League player.

Mark Cullen - 7

Unlucky not to have added his name to the scoresheet. But he fought well and the 60 minutes of action will do him the world of good.

Armand Gnanduillet - 7

Led the line well and Barnsley struggled with his aerial prowess. Bagged a late goal courtesy of a powerful free kick.

For Cullen, 61
