Blackpool head coach Michael Appleton:
"From a result point of view, we probably got what we deserved because of the performance from the first half. It was way away from what I'd expect from any team that I manage in terms of being passive, lacking aggression, being brave and getting on the ball.
"The second half gave me encouragement; I thought we were much braver and far more competitive. We got a decent response at half-time, but the damage had been done in the first half - it was just the mentality side of it.
"A couple of lads looked a little lethargic and didn't know if the game was too big for them. Seventy per cent of the team showed me that they can deal with that pressure in the second half."
