Neil Critchley’s side suffered a 2-1 defeat away to Crawley Town, with Rushian Hepburn-Murphy and Junior Quitirna both on the scoresheet for the Red Devils on their return to League One, while Ashley Fletcher claimed a consolation off the bench on his debut for the Seasiders.
Blackpool weren’t the only team in the division that endured an underwhelming start, as the likes of Rotherham and Barnsley both suffered losses as well.
