- Forest rejuvenated under new boss Steve Cooper
FULL TIME
That’s it, the home side win 2-1.
Blackpool can have no complaints really, they were beaten by the better side. A lack of an attacking threat was their main downfall.
90 - Wide
Max Lowe surges through on goal for Forest but fires wide. Game should be over.
There will be FOUR minutes of time added on.
87 - Let off
That should be the game dead and buried.
Joe Lolley pulls the ball back from the right to Lewis Grabban, who fluffs his line and fails to make the right contact on the ball, which ends up bobbling straight into the grateful hands of Dan Grimshaw.
81 - Free-kick
Jordan Gabriel wins Pool a free-kick near the corner flag after taking the ball past Scott McKenna, who handled.
Luke Garbutt stands over it.
75 - Blocked
Josh Bowler works the ball well to Jordan Gabriel down the right, but the full-back’s dangerous looking cross is well blocked by a Forest man.
Seasiders now beginning to threaten a bit more.
70 - Another injury blow?
Kenny Dougall is Blackpool's second change of the game, replacing Kevin Stewart who needed some treatment.
Fingers crossed on that one.
61 - Change
Neil Critchley responds quickly to the Forest goal, replacing Tyreece John-Jules with Demetri Mitchell.
Fair to say John-Jules hasn’t had the best of games for the Seasiders this afternoon.
60 - GOAL FOREST (2-1)
Lewis Grabban taps home to restore Forest’s lead.
That was so unfortunate for Dan Grimshaw, who made a superb save to stop the initial shot. But there was nothing he could do to deny Grabban on the rebound.
Pool level for just eight minutes.
