Blackpool v Coventry City - live updates

Key Events

  • FT: Blackpool 0-1 Coventry City
  • Seasiders searching for first league win of the season
  • Josh Bowler and Shayne Lavery both pushing to start

Back-to-back defeats for the Seasiders, who are still searching for that first league win back in the Championship.

Disappointing.

Callum Connolly pulls the ball back from the right to CJ Hamilton, who blazes over. HAD to hit the target!

There will be SIX minutes of time added on.

Come on!!

Substitute Martyn Waghorn goes to ground in the penalty area after a coming-together with James Husband. Instead of awarding a penalty, the referee brandishes a yellow for simulation.

Shayne Lavery’s near post header from Josh Bowler’s cross goes wide. Looked to take a deflection off a Coventry man, but the man in the middle disagrees.

CJ Hamilton replaces Keshi Anderson.

Grant Ward, meanwhile, has just shot well over from long range.

ON: Kenny Dougall and TJJ

OFF: Reece James and Jerry Yates

Keshi Anderson runs over the ball allowing Luke Garbutt to power a fierce drive towards the top corner, but Simon Moore does well to tip it over. Great effort.

Josh Bowler, who has been Blackpool’s most obvious threat tonight, does well to reach Grant Ward’s clipped ball over the top. He cuts inside Jake Clarke-Salter who brings him down. The Coventry man receives a booking and Pool have a free-kick in a good crossing position.

Coventry score Viktor Gyokeres, who has been superb all night for the visitors, fires well over from the edge of the box.

Pool have been far too easy to play against at times tonight.
