WANDERERS (3-1-4-2)

 

REMI MATTHEWS…6

Beaten by a looping shot from Ronan in the first half and had little to do with the second goal.

TOTO NSIALA…5

Could well have conceded a penalty in what was a very nervy first half showing. Whatever was said at the break worked, as he was much, much better.

JACK HOBBS…6

Steady enough. Happier against the heft of Madine than the pace of Delfouneso but seems to be regaining his sharpness.

KEAN BRYAN…7

Got the goal but also looked the more assured member of back line, using the ball well and creating a threat in the opponents’ box.

LUKE MURPHY…6

Played in a deep-lying midfield role. Sensible rather than spectacular but used the ball well enough.

JASON LOWE…6

Fouled in the build-up to the corner? Quality wasn’t always there on the ball but his work-rate was spot on.

ALI CRAWFORD…6

Another few touches of class and important minutes under the belt. Faded towards the end.

ETHAN HAMILTON…5.5

Tried hard to make something happen but his eagerness to shoot from distance needed to be toned down.

JOE BUNNEY…5.5

Didn’t really get into the game that much in the first half – but good to see him starting for Wanderers.

DENNIS POLITIC…7

A definite step back in the right direction for the youngster. Not everything came off but he looked a threat again in a more central position.

CHRIS O’GRADY…4

Anonymous in the first 45 minutes and subbed at half time. Only touched the ball once in the penalty box.

Subs: D Murphy 5, 46 (for O’Grady) – Should have scored.

Dodoo 5.5, 52 (for Bunney) – Supplied the cross for the goal.

Mellis 82 (for Crawford) – Too late an arrival to judge Not used: Alexander, Emmanuel, Delaney, Fleming.

 

Blackpool (3-5-2): Maxwell, Turton, Moore, Husband; Feeney, MacDonald, Virtue-Thick, Dewsbury-Hall, Ronan; Madine, Delfouneso.

Subs: Spearing 78 (for Ronan), Nuttall 83 (for Madine), Edwards 90 (for Feeney)
