Blackpool 2 Doncaster Rovers 0
66min Good save
Good save from Louis Jones to deny Jerry Yates. Josh Sims conceded possession in the middle of the park and Blackpool raced forward, with Yates being played in only for Jones to stretch out his arm to deny the goal.
61min CHance for Blackpool
All a bit easy for Blackpool to surge forward. Ellis Simms is played in around the back and drills a low shot which Louis Jones blocks at his near post.
59min Chance
Matt Smith cuts the ball back to Tyreece John-Jules from a free kick out wide with the Arsenal loanee striking first time and seeing the ball deflect up into Chris Maxwell’s arms.
53min Wide
Luke Garbutt curls narrowly over the bar from the corner of the box as Blackpool push forward.
50mins Off the line
Joe Wright is well placed to head the ball wide off the line after Ellis Simms snaked his way into the box
