Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Bloomfield Road will turn into a battlefield for Blackpool FC and Barnsley FC.
  • 5' Devante Cole has been relatively quiet despite scoring 52 goals in his last 376 appearances.
  • 10' Christopher Hamilton has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 12' GOAL! Sonny Carey scores on 12. Assisted by Karamoko Dembele
  • 17' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 17 minutes.
  • 22' Adam Phillips is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Barnsley FC so far.
  • 27' Over 27 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 32' Blackpool FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 37' Barnsley FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 42' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Barnsley FC that had 389 games and scored 501 goals.
  • 47' Against the run of play, Hayden Coulson has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 48' GOAL! James Husband fires home to make it 3-0!
  • 53' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Blackpool FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 58' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 63' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 67' The England John McAtee breaks the deadlock on 67 minutes. 3-1!
  • 72' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 77' It’s high time made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 82' Barnsley FC have won 501 goals from 389 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 87' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. George Byers made 387 appearances and scored 19 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 3-2 the final result. Barnsley FC will be bitterly disappointed.
