Hard to know how much of this is down to energy levels or performance, but either way it’s been desperately poor.

Visitors in complete control and should really be further ahead.

We’re back underway

Boro get the game restarted. No changes for either side.

Shambolic stuff as Marvin Ekpiteta's poor touch allows Marcus Forss to run through on goal. Chris Maxwell then brings him down.

Marcus Forss beats Chris Maxwell from 12 yards.

James Husband is down with a knock and looks to be coming off.

Deary me, Blackpool are in disarray.

Rhys Williams replaces James Husband, who hobbles down the tunnel.

Don't know what to say anymore.
