Marvin Ekpiteta's early opener was added to by Jerry Yates in stoppage-time as Town again struggled to create clear-cut chances. Here are our player ratings...


. Jonathan Mitchell
Made a good save with his legs from Simms but he showed no conviction when trying to deal with Kaikai's cross, instead palming the ball straight to Ekpiteta. Distribution was poor... 5

. Lloyd Jones
Could have cleared Ekpiteta's header from on the goal-line but lost his bearings and instead the ball hit him and went in. Not the best night for Town's back three who missed the busy McWilliams in front of them... 5 Photo: Pete Norton

. Cian Bolger
Looked to have seen off the danger when getting tight to Yates late on, only for the striker to somehow get round him and score. Deemed narrowly offside when setting up Edmondson for an 'equaliser' at 1-0... 4.5 Photo: Pete Norton

. Fraser Horsfall
Thought the ball was going out of play in the build-up to Blackpool's opening goal and as a result didn't get close enough to stop the cross. Hosts caused problems in the channel between him and Mills... 4.5 Photo: Pete Norton

. Peter Kioso
Arguably had Town's best chance of the night when a long throw dropped to him in the box, but he missed his kick. Also overhit a couple of crosses after he had been found in dangerous positions... 4.5

. Joseph Mills
His radar in the final third was equally erratic, failing to pick out team-mates when promising situations presented themselves. Blackpool targeted the space behind both of Town's wing-backs to good effect... 4.5
