Main questions from Blackpool's victory over Burton Albion including verdict on mixed afternoon for Everton loanee

Odel Offiah opened the scoring in the first half, before Rob Apter added the second after the break following a superb solo run into the box.

Lee Evans rounded off the win heading into the closing stages, courtesy of a well taken shot of his own.

It wasn’t all plain sailing for the Seasiders, with Burton passing on a couple of good opportunities, as well as having strong claims for a penalty waved away by the referee.

Here’s some of the main questions from the victory:

How does Apter compare to last year’s main man?

Rob Apter’s goal was a thing of beauty. The 21-year-old skipped past a number of players as he cut in from the right side, before slotting past the Burton keeper.

In the last few weeks he’s just continued to progress, and build on his successful loan spell with Tranmere Rovers last season.

Playing in a 4-4-2 formation certainly suits him, with a fullback behind him to offer defensive cover while he expresses himself going forward.

Blackpool’s main man last year was Brest loanee Karamoko Dembele, who is now with QPR, but despite his brilliance, Apter could prove to be even more important.

The Scotland youth international is probably a bit more direct than the ex-Celtic midfielder, with a bit more directness when it comes to running at people and taking them on.

He’s of course a completely different type of player to Dembele, but the way he approaches the game could be a lot more beneficial for the Seasiders.

When he’s on it, whoever Blackpool are playing will be under constant pressure on that side due to him being able to whip balls into the box and cut inside himself.

Apter does have the advantage of seemingly having players around him on the same wavelength, while perhaps at times Dembele could unlock the door to a defence but no one would be there to actually open it.

How much luck did Blackpool have on their side?

While it was another good performance from Steve Bruce’s side, they were also reliant on a bit of luck.

A few chances were missed by Burton, including a close-range header by Danilo Orsi following an error from Harry Tyrer.

The biggest bit of fortune came shortly after that opportunity, with the Burton forward brought down in the box by the Blackpool keeper as he went around him.

In the moment it seemed as if it was a penalty, while replays do show clear contact. The referee ultimately saw it a different way, and booked Orsi for simulation.

Although the Seasiders did need a little bit of luck, they still played well enough to get the three points with some great passages of play in both halves, with a bit more control of proceedings after the break.

How to rate Tyrer’s start to life at Bloomfield Road?

Saturday’s game highlighted the good and bad of Tyrer’s time with Blackpool so far since his loan move from Everton.

For the chance wasted by Orsi, he parried a long shot straight into the danger zone, in a similar action to what led to Charlton Athletic’s late consolation in last week’s 2-1 win at the Valley.

It’s clearly something that the 22-year-old is struggling with at the moment, but hasn’t proved costly yet in terms of points.

He was of course also very lucky not to give away a penalty, which came down to a poor call from the referee.

Meanwhile, in the second half he made two superb saves to deny Burton, stopping a Ben Whitfield shot from the edge of the box, before getting a hand on a Udoka Godwin-Malife header.

This follows some equally impressive moments in Tuesday night’s 2-0 win against Huddersfield Town.

Clearly Tyrer is a very good young goalkeeper, who can pull out some really important saves, but he’s currently in the habit of making some simple mistakes - which hopefully he can quickly get past.
