Blackpool v Barrow, Carabao Cup first round - LIVE

Key Events

  • FT: Blackpool 0-0 Barrow (p)
  • Seasiders in Carabao Cup first round action
  • Michael Appleton expecting to make changes after Stoke City disappointment

After a bright few opening minutes, the atmosphere has died down a little.

Both sides are looking to play patient possession football, but there’s been no real goalmouth action so far.

Theo Corbeanu gets into some space down the right only to overhit his cross.

Charlie Patino’s corner is a strange one as it barely seems to leave the floor, but it causes some confusion in the Barrow before the away side eventually clear.

CJ Hamilton wins Blackpool the first corner of the game as his cross from the left is turned behind.

Charlie Patino to take.

15 seconds in and we've had the first Charlie Patino chant. No pressure.

Barrow get tonight’s game underway.

Come on you Pool!

Charlie Patino and Theo Corbeanu have been handed their first starts in tangerine for tonight’s Carabao Cup clash against Barrow.

The duo are two of seven changes to the Blackpool side that lost 2-0 to Stoke City in league action on Saturday.

Chris Maxwell replaces Dan Grimshaw in goal, while Jordan Thorniley steps in for Rhys Williams to partner Marvin Ekpiteta in the centre of defence.

Callum Connolly and Dom Thompson retain their places at right-back and left-back respectively.

Patino starts in a midfield three alongside Kenny Dougall and Lewis Fiorini, while CJ Hamilton and Corbeanu start either side of Shayne Lavery.

Matty Virtue, Josh Bowler, Jerry Yates and Gary Madine all drop out of the side - the latter not named in the squad at all.

Jordan Gabriel returns from injury to start on the bench in his first involvement of the 2022/23 season.

Elsewhere, James Husband, Luke Garbutt, Doug Tharme, Kevin Stewart. Keshi Anderson and Jake Beesley all remain sidelined.

Richard Keogh is left out ahead of a prospective move to League One side Ipswich Town.
