A good first 15 minutes spoiled, what a horrible goal to concede. Almost as bad as Fleetwoods 2nd the other week

Think you are meant to challenge headers, or is this a new way of defending

Soft goal to concede. Long and Bradbury seemed to be sleeping

On first viewing, Southwood should have claimed that, or at least flicked it away. We look far too open for a team who you would think would be going there to try and hang on for a point.

Two very poor goals given away but I’m not entirely convinced about the referees idea of a foul. Their players are dropping onto the floor like dead flies and getting free kicks.

Commentators saying Bevan and Davies were 4th and 5th choices before kick off :lol:

Football is great sometimes. Well done, Will Goodwin. His first football league goal?

Poor . Commentators have been complimentary but we have no quality anywhere (I’m watching on iFollow).

Soft at the back .
Zero creativity in the middle .
Utterly no threat up front .

And I said that , Goodwin scores !

Great finish. He deserves that, only forward that's played half decent this season

It is, and well taken it was as well.

He's been fantastic this season, all of our best performances have come when he's been in the side. He's continued that tonight, even though the defence have fallen to bits.

4 changes at half time. Certainly can't accuse DC of being as negative/cautious as Wade was...!

To be fair to Wade he didn't have the bench even if he wanted to for most of this season

Butler-Oyadeji showing tonight why I thought he was going to be a good signing.

How did it compare to his lovely debut goal vs Salford?

A Fibonacci sequence of goal scoring.

Three goals next game!

At 3 down and looking like shipping 5 or 6, I'll take a 3-2 defeat. DC has found more out tonight and a few players will have gained some more much needed confidence.

Deserved a draw there, good performance. Ref atrocious. And what happened to adding on the proper amount of added time this season?

Was on the verge of turning it off at 3-0 glad I didn't

Bevan and Thompson have to start next game

If we can drop the deadwood and add a couple of decent additions we'd have a capable side

As with any new rule that's slated as soon as the season starts, it's been quietly scrapped.

Thought we played very well in that second half - we could have collapsed completely at 3-0 but the heads didn't drop.

I'll take a battling defeat at Blackpool in most seasons, we just need to now take this fight into the game at Vale on Saturday.

Even the Blackpool commentators thought both teams would be entitled to be miffed at some of his decisions.
Good to hear a professional like Ian Bowyer giving decent insight.

They had some really classy individuals, so onto Port Vale and a match we have a more realistic chance of picking up points from.
