• Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Blackpool FC gets underway.
  • 5' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 10' Albie Morgan has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 45 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 15' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Shayne Lavery suffering a number of foals already.
  • 18' Shayne Lavery puts Blackpool FC on the lead.
  • 23' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 23 minutes.
  • 28' Supporters expect more eagerness from Will Ferry, as he is very good at scoring at Bloomfield Road with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 32' Goal! Jordan Rhodes scores his 47 goal in 359 matches.
  • 36' Cheltenham Town FC player sees a card in front of him.
  • 41' Goal! Karamoko Dembele scores his 11 goal in 406 matches.
  • 44' What a strike from Will Goodwin! The score is 3-1.
  • 46' Cheltenham Town FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Owen Bevan is hanging Tom Bradbury on the field on 46 minute.
  • 51' The travelling Cheltenham Town FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 56' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 61' Blackpool FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 66' Time for substitution for Blackpool FC. Karamoko Dembele is replaced by Sonny Carey.
  • 71' It looks surprising Blackpool FC does not make any changes. Dominic Thompson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 75' A meaty challenge results in booking for Lewis Freestone on 75.
  • 77' Another substitution for Cheltenham Town FC to replace Elliot Bonds by Robert Street on 77 minute.
  • 78' The whistle greets Albie Morgan as he departs to be replaced by Jensen Weir.
  • 83' Blackpool FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 83.
