Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Blackpool FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 10' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Walsall FC and Blackpool FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 15' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 20' Kieron Morris has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 25' Walsall FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Blackpool FC backline.
  • 30' The energy levels are beginning to show. Terry McPhillips might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 35' It looks surprising Walsall FC does not make any changes. Harry Pritchard has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 40' Nathan Delfouneso is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Walsall FC tonight.
  • 44' That is a Yellow card for Blackpool FC. Oliver Turton will be fuming at that decision.
  • 46' A change in the Blackpool FC ranks — Joe Dodoo exits the field as Liam Feeney enters on 46.
  • 51' Walsall FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 51.
  • 56' Both keepers have barely been tested. Walsall FC and Blackpool FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 61' The travelling Blackpool FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 66' Blackpool FC is showing some good football. However, Blackpool FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 68' The supporters are chanting for Josh Gordon. He replaces Andy Cook on 68 minute.
  • 73' Blackpool FC ring the changes. Jordan Thompson has done his job and it is now time for Harry Pritchard to step up.
  • 76' Armand Gnanduillet is ready to make an impact after coming on for Mark Cullen at the 76 minute mark.
  • 81' Blackpool FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 86' Kane Wilson is replacing Zeli Ismail for the Walsall FC side.
  • The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
