61 - RED CARD BLACKPOOL
Jordan Gabriel is shown a second yellow card for a needless challenge on Lewis O’Brien by the touchline.
He can have no complaints.
Half an hour for Blackpool to hold on now.

Gary Madine side foots the ball into the back of the empty Huddersfield net, but the linesman’s flag had already been raised for Jerry Yates, who was in an offside position.
53 - Saved
Danny Ward climbs highest to meet a right-wing cross, but his downward header is well claimed by Dan Grimshaw.
49 - Claimed
Josh Bowler beats his man down the right, but his cross is straight to keeper Lee Nicholls.
Pool not content to sit on their lead here.
48 - Bowler on form
Huddersfield fans around me in the press box discussing how dangerous Josh Bowler has been so far today.
The home side get two or three players around him as soon as he gets on the ball.
