Reading v Blackpool - live updates

Key Events

  • LIVE: Reading 3-0 Blackpool
  • Seasiders looking to cut the gap to safety
  • Jerry Yates a doubt, but Gary Madine back from suspension

Half an hour until kick-off

Sonny Carey gets the game underway.

Up the mighty Pool!

2 - Change in system

Looks to be a 442. Connolly and Carey in the middle, Garbutt left wing.

Gary Madine heads a Luke Garbutt cross into the six-yard box but keeper Joe Lumley is out to claim.

Pretty decent start this from the Seasiders.

Shayne Lavery wins Blackpool the first corner of the game.

Pretty bright start, this.

Sonny Carey lets fly from 20 yards out on his weaker left foot but it takes a deflection to fizz it through to Lumley.

10 - Another corner

This time Luke Garbutt’s cross is blocked behind. Much better from Blackpool than what we saw against Blackburn in midweek.

A corner drops to Curtis Nelson in the box but his goalbound effort is blocked.

Yakou Meite's header is saved by Maxwell at the other end.

Naby Sarr's back post header is narrowly over.
