Scrappy and frustrating! It is possible they missed Johansen but Dozzell seemed to me to be a good replacement (in terms of movement along the back and ball distribution). Amos seemed to do well as the more attacking midfielder of the pair. If anything, it was the ball distribution from the Back 3, and Dykes being outnumbered up front was not turned into a positive with space for Chair or Willock. Not sure what we need to do to improve, but bringing on Austin smacked of desperation....
Let’s face it,we didn’t play well tonight and got a point and weren’t particularly great against Cardiff and got 3 points 4 good away points this week and in 6th spot international break too to get some players back in the team I’d of taken a draw all day long from Blackpool a very in form team and no complaints from me at all
As others have said I'm pretty sure we'd have all taken 4 points from these 2 away games.
The goals have dried up though. Yes we have scored in every league games, but in this spell since the last international break we've just scored 1 in each league game and of course didn't score against Sunderland in the cup.
We scored 14 in the first 6 league games and now only have 14 in the last 11. Something isn't quite clicking.
Charlie isn’t scoring at the moment that is for sure and that is worrying you do wonder where is the next goal coming from to be fair and I wish we had a prolific scorer in the side right now to take the pressure of the team when we play our games i agree northwest something isn’t clicking isn’t our side right now like it did at the start of the season
I'm back, I missed the last 15 minutes and it sounds like we missed a decent chance.
I will take a point because we didn't play well tonight and we really were 2nd best. Blackpool will count themselves unlucky because their disallowed goal should have stood.
Not sure that anyone will want to play as our left wing back because it seems certain that whoever they pick will get an injury.
He won't have seen red as jeopardy rules apply, plus I've always felt like the rules on keepers making fouls are a bit different to outfielders. Keepers don't always tend to get the colour an outfielder would.
We weren't good tonight, but we dug in and came away with a hard earned point to make it 4 points from 2 tough away games. Absolutely no complaint from me.
At real time, I thought their penalty was stonewall. However after seeing the replays back, it almost looks ike their player ran in to Seny and collided with him. However we also got away with the disallowed goal early on, so I won't complain at the referee for that.
Hopefully we can recharge during the International break and come back stronger when the Luton game comes around.

Doesn't that only apply when they try to play the ball? Which Dieng doesn't.
I do agree though that the guy knew what he was doing as he could have avoided Seny, however if that was at the QPR end we'd want that awarded.
very poor effort again yesterday for me 2 points dropped rather than 1 gained would never have expected the mess Dieng created to give them that penalty to a very limited Blackpool side (despite what the commentators said)
i still think Blackpool will be closer to relegation this season rather than where they currently sit
altho plus points made for Willocks goal and i thought kakay looked very good when he came on
will try not to go on too much about what i thought on Dykes performance again as i feel ive been far too negative regarding him recently but if he would have chosen to aim for his head instead of the star jump he made at that effort of his from that great cross from Dickie we would have had 2 extra points. and the little time Charlie was on the pitch he showed more than Lyndon did the whole 90 mins
the commentary went on about how good blackpool were and they were unlucky not to take the 3 points ok but lets not get carried away they were not amazing i personally think a draw was a fair result
yes we got away with one and the offside decision but you can see the lino was unsighted (and we were owed that one after the Sunderland debacle)
