Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Ashton Gate will turn into a battlefield for Bristol City FC and Blackpool FC.
- 5' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 10' Over 10 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 12' Kasey Palmer has so much to prove this time. He replaces Callum O'Dowda on 12 minute.
- 13' Another change for Bristol City FC made on 13 minute. Callum O'Dowda leaves to be changed by Kasey Palmer.
- 18' 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.
- 23' With 2 assists to his name this season, Shayne Lavery is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Blackpool FC.
- 28' CJ Hamilton is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Bristol City FC tonight.
- 33' Jerry Yates has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 3 goals this season.
- 38' Both keepers have barely been tested. Bristol City FC and Blackpool FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 43' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 44' What composure from Chris Martin! The Scotland international strokes it home. 1-0.
- 49' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 49 minutes.
- 54' 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 Matty James suffering a number of foals already.
- 59' The travelling Blackpool FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 64' A moment of madness from Nathan Baker on 64 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Bristol City FC will be frustrated.
- 69' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 73' Josh Bowler gets the nod from Blackpool FC. He replaces Tyreece John-Jules and will look to change the dynamic.
- 77' Joe Williams has so much to prove this time. He replaces Alex Scott on 77 minute.
- 80' The Blackpool FC manager makes a substitution. CJ Hamilton departs to be replaced by Shayne Lavery.
- 85' Blackpool FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 88' A tactical swap from Bristol City FC — Samuel Bell on, Kasey Palmer off on 88 minutes.
- 90' It’s a booking for Bristol City FC player. Samuel Bell gets a Yellow card.
- The points are shared — Bristol City FC 1-1 Blackpool FC. Honours even.
