Blackpool

I'm not saying it was entirely down to me, but that was my first away game of the season, although I've seen a few on ifollow.
It wasn't particularly entertaining and generally we've looked more threatening attacking wise in other games. Blackpool were poor and strangely it never felt that tense even in the last 10 minutes, which shows the team were well organised and committed. I doubt many would agree with me but I thought Sinclair was our best player, often isolated and up against 2 large defenders he caused them a lot of problems and was never bullied, particularly when the ball was on the floor (which admittedly it wasn't often). His shooting was poor but he showed strength and willing. Garbutt too was better than I thought he'd be.
Generally a good sign for the relegation battle as it shows despite the number of loanees, the team is committed, but this is a team that has problems putting together a series of good performances, so I can see it getting tense.
