Blackpool 4 Yates 2, Patino, CJ Hamilton Preston North End 2 Whiteman, Connolly og
Blackpool line-up: Maxwell; Connolly, Ekpiteta, Thorniley (Williams, 80), Husband (Thompson, 86); Bridcutt (Carey, 30), Patino, Dougall; Yates, Madine, Hamilton. Subs not used: Grimshaw, Wright, Corbeanu, Poveda.
PNE line-up: Woodman; Storey (Evans, 83), Lindsay, Cunningham (Diaby, 64); Potts, Whiteman, Ledson (Maguire, 76), Fernández; McCann (Browne, 83), Woodburn (Brady, 76); Riis. Subs not used: Cornell, Johnson.
Attendance: 13,632 (PNE fans: TBC).
Referee: Mr C Kavanagh.
The pivotal moment for me in a game which a neutral would have enjoyed, was Cunningham going off injured, Diaby came on and Lindsay moved to the left side of defence, from then on in we looked vulnerable at the back which the home side took advantage. To be fair couldn't fault Diaby for the goals
Until then we had been the better side but as per usual our inability to put the ball in the net cost us.
The usual friendly welcome from security getting into ground, searched as per usual, the joy of travelling away, great atmosphere for a dinner time kick off.
Started well, plenty of possession although saying that as per usual didn't force Maxwell into any meaningful saves, Riis looked a handful with the ball at his feet, Woodburn also looked decent. Little was seen of the home attack as our resolute defence kept them at bay although that was soon to change.
Potts effort saved fully at the second attempt by Maxwell, before the stopper and his defenced nearly ballsed up with Riis blocking a clearence for Maxwell which could have dropped anywhere.
Pool one up Madine heads to the backpost Yates in acres of space simple headed goal.
Did us a favour piled forward, Riis down the left, cuts into area, brought down, clear penalty, Whiteman down the centre, all square.
On the stroke of half time, Riis had the ball in the net, the whistle had gone but the finish by Riis who was stood next to the corner flag was outstanding, pity it didn't count

Second period on top, no efforts at goal was to cost us, again lots of the ball but no end product, then 20 minutes from the end we dealt clear the ball and it ended up with Patino who fired home from the edge of the box, might be harsh on Woodman thought he may have done better.
Never looked like clawing it back, ten from the end, Yates above the defender over Woodman 3-1.
Managed to get charity goal in injury time Connolly apparently heading home via the post from Brady's free kick
As for the fourth the traditional keeper goes up for a corner and we lose the ball and Hamilton sweeps ball home from 30 yards with the keeper nowhere.
Homebound, got accused by a plod of not listening to him, then stood in some horse crap, annoyed to say the least, not sure about Lowe, our inability to actually put sides to the sword is coming back to haunt us
