Blackpool could only manage a 1-1 draw with 10-man Lincoln City at Bloomfield Road.

The visitors scored a stoppage time equaliser through substitute Tom Hamer to cancel out Kyle Joseph’s earlier strike - which came shortly after a red card for Adam Jackson during the second half.

The Imps proved to be resilient throughout, with keeper George Wickens making a number of impressive saves to deny Steve Bruce’s side throughout the evening.

Here’s how the Seasiders performed:

Harry Tyrer- 7

Harry Tyrer made a good save to stop Erik Ring after Joseph’s goal, but couldn’t stop the eventual equaliser.

Jordan Gabriel- 7

Jordan Gabriel once again enjoyed a solid enough evening in the right back role.

Odel Offiah- 7

Odel Offiah was strong again at the heart of the Blackpool defence for the majority of the evening, but like his teammates he would’ve been disappointed to concede late on.

Olly Casey- 7

Olly Casey was also solid once again, and helped to control proceedings with his presence at the back

Hayden Coulson- 7

It was disappointing that Hayden Coulson’s evening came to an end so early on, with the fullback continuing his good run of form with a strong start against the Imps.

Hopefully the problem proves to be nothing serious.

Rob Apter- 6

Rob Apter was a bit quieter than usual against the Imps, but still had some bright moments.

Lee Evans- 8

It was another impressive night for Lee Evans, who continues to be influential in the middle of the park for the Seasiders.

Albie Morgan- 8

Albie Morgan continued his impressive form as well, with a number of impressive passes as well as a good attempt at goal.

CJ Hamilton- 6

CJ Hamilton had a couple of opportunities down the left side, but couldn’t pick any of his teammates out.

Kyle Joseph- 8

Kyle Joseph had a number of chances throughout the game, with the striker being denied by a superb stop by the keeper during the first half.

His persistence eventually paid off, as he broke the deadlock. The 23-year-old’s energy up front remains crucial to what Bruce is trying to achieve with the Seasiders.

Jake Beesley- 6

Like Jordan Rhodes at the weekend against Burton Albion, Jake Beesley was pretty quiet as Joseph’s striker partner.

SUB: James Husband- 6

James Husband replaced Coulson at left back in the second half and did a solid enough job.

SUB: Ashley Fletcher- 6

It was a mixed couple of minutes for Ashley Fletcher after being introduced off the bench. The striker missed a really good opportunity in the box with his head, but quickly made amends with an assist for Joseph.

SUB: Sonny Carey- N/A

Sonny Carey was introduced for the final few minutes.

SUB: Elliot Embleton- N/A

Same as Carey.
