Blackpool suffered a 4-0 defeat in their second pre-season friendly as they made the step-up in quality against Premier League opposition.
Joe Gelhardt was left completely alone in the Blackpool box but stumbled at the crucial moment. The ball bounced through a sea of bodies before reaching Holmes, almost taking him by surprise, resulting in the forward missing the target. Blackpool’s best chance of the game fell to Shayne Lavery nine minutes from time as the striker was slipped in by CJ Hamilton, but the keeper stood tall to make the save from the Northern Irishman’s first-time effort. The second-half was otherwise something of a non-event, as can often be the case in pre-season when both sides make a raft of changes. One of Blackpool’s half-time subs Owen Dale attempted to lash a volley towards goal at the start of the second-half, but the winger didn’t quite catch all of it and a Leeds defender was able to head clear. The Whites did end up taking the lead six minutes later and it was a sloppy goal to concede from their point of view, as they switched off from a quick free-kick.

63’ Archie Gray takes a bash to the face and goes down for treatment. 72’ Archie Gray the last to go off out of the Leeds starters. Applauded from the field.

The pressing is intense in pockets. Harrison with a quick free-kick down the left channel. Leeds finding themselves with more time on the ball now. Opens up the angle for a shot and gets it on target. Long ball comes over on the diagonal for him and although he was offside, his first touch took him straight inside and past the left-back. Davis already settling in nicely down the left flank as he plays on the half-turn, giving inside and going down the touchline. Harrison was on the corner. Gelhardt read the pass and beat the offside trap, but the high ball got stuck under his studs. Garbutt drives forward from the left for Blackpool and beats Drameh nicely. Goes down and the game stops, but gets some treatment and good to continue. Some breath held in the Leeds dugout as Davis goes down with a heavy knock. The intensity of pressing and sprinting isn't quite there.

The Newcastle and Tottenham-linked winger was on it from minute one, and it was his quick-free kick that set-up the first. Hopefully, the foundation for a good season. Couple of rusty touches and passes, but you can see there is some serious class there. Gray has the perfect midfielder combination of incredible technical ability and an array of passing, but the willingness to stick a foot in and make fouls. Firpo looked sharp from minute one, to the moment he came off at the break. Opened the scoring with a tap-in.
