Blackpool name a strong side

Accrington get things underway.

Debutants Owen Moffat and Callum Wright link up well, resulting in the latter lofting just wide of the upright.

Almost a perfect start for Stephen Dobbie’s men.

Blackpool go from back to front with some delightful one-touch football.

Owen Moffat eventually gets crowded out before he can cross, but Sonny Carey, Callum Wright, CJ Hamilton and Zak Emmerson combined superbly there during the build-up.

Callum Wright sees a shot charged down before Sonny Carey’s effort deflects into the arms of the goalkeeper.

Blackpool are looking dangerous in the final third.

Tayt Trusty meets Callum Wright’s corner but his side-footed effort is straight at the keeper.

It’s one-way traffic so far.

There’s not been a great deal of chances to speak of, but Blackpool are playing some good stuff. There’s been plenty of promising link-up play and movement in the final third.

CJ Hamilton is picked out in some space down the right. The winger lays the ball off to Callum Wright whose first-time shot is blocked.

Oliver Patrick has Accrington’s first shot of the afternoon, but it fails to trouble Stuart Moore in the Blackpool goal.
