Tom Bloxham scored the only goal, in the early throes of the game at Bloomfield Road. Rovers barely threatened their opponents’ goal all game, aside from a few half-chances.
This result extends their run in the league to just one win in their last 15 games. They remain 23rd in League One and are now three points adrift of safety.
Here’s how we rated the Rovers players at Blackpool:
9. Harry Clifton 4
In just behind Hanlan but struggled to make inroads with nothing of note in the final third. Never really got into any kind of stride - much like many of his colleagues. Photo: Howard Roe/AHPIX LTD
10. Luke Molyneux 4
Dipped well below the levels he's capable of. Nothing seemed to come off - even throw-ins, where he fouled them twice. Photo: Howard Roe/AHPIX LTD
11. Brandon Hanlan 5
Struggled to garner any real involvement first half. On the end of some industrial defending, particularly second half. Thought he'd fired an equaliser only for Casey to excellently get back and hack it away off the line. Photo: Howard Roe/AHPIX LTD
12. Billy Sharp 4
Unable to change the run of the game in his second half cameo. Photo: Howard Roe/AHPIX LTD
