Blackpool were on the end of a 2-1 defeat away to Doncaster Rovers.

Bailey Peacock-Farrell is among the players enduring a tough run of form with Blackpool.

Since making the move to Bloomfield Road in the summer, the Northern Ireland international has endured a hit and miss time on the Fylde Coast.

After a shaky first month with the Seasiders, he had been able to prove some of his doubters wrong for a period.

In the last few weeks, some of the performances of the ex-Leeds United and Burnley man have been under scrutiny again, with his current struggles evident again in a 2-1 defeat to Doncaster Rovers at the Eco-Power Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

For the home side’s opener, 29-year-old was unable to collect the ball when coming off his line for a cross, leaving Owen Bailey to plant a simple header home.

Meanwhile, for the South Yorkshire outfit’s second, Hakeeb Adelakun was able to find the back of the net with a shot towards the front post.

Despite initially joining Blackpool on loan, Peacock-Farrell’s deal was made permanent until the end of the season following his release from Birmingham City in January, leaving a decision to be made on his future in the summer.

After the weekend’s game, Seasiders head coach Ian Evatt shared his sympathy with the shot stopper.

“When goalkeepers make mistakes it normally ends up in a goal - unfortunately for us that’s happened in the first half,” Evatt admitted.

“Bailey’s made some brilliant saves for us in games and kept us in it. Look, he’ll take it on the chin. He’s understandably disappointed with the goal, as we all are, but we’ll support him and hopefully we’ll do better on Tuesday (against Port Vale).”
