In their previous game, the manager S. Grayson led his Blackpool to a defeat in the EFL Trophy match away at Carlisle United. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Bloomfield Road. Ahead of that match, Blackpool lost 1-2 at home to Rotherham United.

A disaster for the home team in their last match (vs Carlisle United) as a comfortable lead 1-0 was completely ruined into a loss 1-2.
