Blackpool form and stats

The League One season is young and Blackpool have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.

That was the thoughts of manager Critchley when Dougall scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 82nd minute. Midfielder Hamilton was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.12. Hamilton served one assist and hit four key passes.

A defeat, in the Carabao Cup away at Wolverhampton Wanderers, earlier.

{0 goals} so far away for Blackpool, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 2 league matches away.
