Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Blackpool FC to score. At the same time, Northampton Town FC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' Lee Burge is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Blackpool FC tonight.
- 10' The home supporters are growing impatient. Blackpool FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 15' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Northampton Town FC that had 192 games and scored 158 goals.
- 25' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 30' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.
- 35' Blackpool FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 40' 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 Mitch Pinnock suffering a number of foals already.
- 45' Blackpool FC currently sit 18 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 50' Supporters expect more eagerness from Samy Chouchane, as he is very good at scoring at Bloomfield Road with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 55' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 60' The energy levels are beginning to show. Steve Bruce might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 65' Robert Apter, a Scotland forward, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 70' 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.
- 75' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jack Sowerby made 58 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 80' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 85' Northampton Town FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 90' Christopher Hamilton has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 13 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- The points are shared — Blackpool FC 0-0 Northampton Town FC. Honours even.
