Following a 2-0 victory over Northampton Town last weekend, the Seasiders came crashing back down to earth with a 2-1 defeat to Stockport County on Tuesday night.
While Ian Evatt’s side only lost by a singular goal due a stoppage time consolation through Josh Bowler, they owed a lot to Bailey Peacock-Farrell – who kept the scoreline respectable with a number of big saves.
The game saw Blackpool hit with additional injury blows, with both George Honeyman, Joel Randall and Kamarl Grant forced off.
