Blackpool player ratings V Burton Albion: Seven score 5/10 for Seasiders as away day woes continue

Blackpool’s away day woes continued as they were defeated 1-0 by Burton Albion at the Pirelli Stadium.

The Seasiders rarely threatened the Brewers, as Bobby Kamwa’s early goal proved to be the difference between the two teams.

Neil Critchley’s side have struggled on the road this season, with their only wins away from Bloomfield Road coming against Barnsley and Portsmouth.

The deadlock was broken in the 10th minute, with a Kamwa cross going past Dan Grimshaw to put Burton in the driving seat.

Blackpool had a golden opportunity to pull themselves level shortly after, but Jordan Rhodes was unable to keep his shot down as he fired over the crossbar.

Ollie Norburn also tried his luck towards the end of the first half- with the midfielder unable to replicate his superb strike against Bristol Rovers, as he smashed a volley out of the stadium.

It proved to be more after the break, as the Seasiders could not find a spark in attack to trouble their opponents.

A couple of rare opportunities came the way of James Husband, but the defender was unable to poke the ball towards the target on both occasions.

Even with some additional pressure in the latter stages, it proved to be a routine enough win for Burton.

Here’s how the Seasiders performed:
