I have now watched the full match and I gave my MotM to Willock although it was close between him and Dickie.
Blackpool were the better team over the 90 minutes and knew how to negate us by stopping both Albert and Odubajo getting forward.
When Johansen doesn't play we lack that bit of bite and leadership in midfield. It's a very similer story up front where I think Dykes needs to impose himself by showing a bit of physicality.
Overall it was a well earnt point and with Wallace and Field both expected to be fit after the international break hopefully that should give us a better balance.

was he injured for the cardiff game and struggling with fitness by end of this one?
Dickie however was our out and out stand out performer and easily gets MOTM for me
The only reason I can think for bringing Willock off is if he did not manage to do much training prior to the game (because of his personal issues) and Warburton felt he needed to come off. When he plays he adds so much value, and when both he and Chair play it causes even more problems for the opposition!

No problems @tomcat75. I had no idea either what the 'personal reasons' were until I read he wanted his goal on Saturday linked to his uncle who had died.
