Bloomfield Road awaits following a two week break for the international fixtures and there is a tough run of games to come in October for Michael Appleton's ...
I didn't want to risk him on the bench and have to bring him on for 20 minutes and all of a sudden he's not available for Tuesday. Blackpool suffered a key injury blow in the build-up to this one with Keshi Anderson picking up a fresh injury having recovered from his MCL injury that has kept him out so far this campaign. They will have to do exactly that once again here against Norwich should they wish to take something from the game. Dom Thompson wayward ball across the face when there were three options in the box said it all about Blackpool's quality in the final third. The Seasiders started the second half as brightly as the first, pressing high and causing problems for the Norwich backline but the final quality continued to lack when it mattered. Blackpool started brightly opening up opportunities with Theo Corbeanu going closest hitting the upright after a good piece of build-up play.

The Seasiders tested the promotion favourites and ran them all the way, but ultimately they were left to rue a horror moment from Dom Thompson.
Husband wasn’t included in the squad at all. Just as they did in the first-half, the Seasiders started the second-half in positive style as they came out of the blocks with positive intent. The goal, Norwich’s first shot in anger of the afternoon, resulted in a period of pressure from the Canaries as Maxwell was forced to push Aaron Ramsey’s long-range shot behind for a corner. In the final action of the half, Callum Wright - who had looked promising on his first start - squandered a major chance to draw Blackpool back level. Blackpool continued their encouraging start with a couple of flowing moves from back to the front, the first ending with Poveda being crowded out just as he was about to pull the trigger. The shot stopper was relegated to the bench, meaning Chris Maxwell was handed his first start of the campaign.
Norwich City returned to winning ways in the Sky Bet Championship with a 1-0 win at Blackpool, courtesy of a first-half Teemu Pukki strike.
The goalkeeper is joined in the side by Jordan Gabriel, Ian Poveda and Callum Wright, with the latter making his first start for the Seasiders. Recent arrival ...

67 - Dowell plays a through ball for Pukki and he shoots first time but is denied by Maxwell. Subs: Dowell 5, Gibbs 6, Sinani 5, Sara 5. The City striker gratefully strides towards goal and makes no mistake. Gibbs (on for Ramsey, 76) Sinani (on for Pukki, 76) Sara (on for Nunez, 87) Hamilton (on for Yates, 84) Dowell (on for Hernandez, 65) Ian Poveda and Theo Corbeanu had squandered opportunities for Blackpool but Pukki made no mistake, rolling beyond Chris Maxwell after intercepting Dom Thompson's stray pass. Lavery (on for Corbeanu, 84) Carey (on for Dougall, 84) Madine (on for Poveda, 69)
