Not much to report for the first 20 minutes, but a nice cross and great finish to give Blackpool a lead.

Poor really! Gave the ball away too easily leading to a top quality finish. If that was Premier League they’d be raving about it!

Listening to radio Accrington it seems we are mot competing and Blackpool are dictating the game.

Being outfought and out thought in midfield.

Can't see any way we can get a result if this continues.

Hope we can keep our energy levels up in the second half. I think the game will definitely open up some as the game develops.

[black morse]

Blackpool pressing us as soon as we get the ball and we seem to have no answers.

[Phoenix Shrimp 2017]

We’ve been very much second best to a scratch BFC team tonight! We need new owners soon with hopefully a cash injection.

Are we in a false position in the league? Maybe so. Great that we have that buffer between us and the bottom because on the evidence of the last two games we may need it!

2 nil game over

Blackpool squad streets ahead of ours

More poor defending. Good cross & header but poor from us.

How many fans actually really care about this trophy

Some games last week had 450 fans attending (says it all)

[Keith]

Zero attacking intent from us. Lots of big hoofs for their defenders to clear.

Slew yellow card.

[Redalert1970]

Don't understand why Walker hasn't started tonight.. Similar with Cam Smith too

It's a funny one. It's worth a decent wedge of much needed cash (£10k for winning a group game). Later stages the excitement builds. The winners, at Wembley, will make about a million quid in total.

The manner of defeat (or win) is important too. This is a strong side that we've put out, so it is disappointing at the moment.

I think we care more about the FA cup which could have massive financial bonuses for us. However it’s worrying how we have been rolled over far too easily in the last two games.

Has our good form bubble burst?.

[Keith]

Rawson playing up front. Corner ball some how came through to him and he managed to bundle it home.

[Zip It Shrimpy]

Have we got time for a second goal

Nope Ah well...

JJ fires over the bar in the last minute

[black morse]

I think this game, against what was basically Blackpool reserves, showed we are not yet ready for a return to league one.
