Hide AdOdel 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.

SUB: James Husband- 6
James Husband replaced Coulson at left back in the second half and did a solid enough job.
