Steve Agnew states places are up for grabs ahead of Blackpool’s game against Wigan Athletic next week.

The Seasiders will have to wait until Monday night to try and put right their 5-1 defeat to Peterborough United at the Weston Homes Stadium.

Joel Randall was on hand with a brace for the Posh, while Malik Mothersille, Kwame Poku and Ricky-Jade Jones were also on the scoresheet, with Kyle Joseph’s first half strike being nothing more than a consolation.

“It’s disappointing, we’ll reflect and we have to pick the players up,” Agnew said after the game in Cambridgeshire.

“We have to respond and we have to go again, and show everyone that we are a good team - there’s only one way of doing that, and that’s hard work on the training ground.

“We review every game, then we feed it back, we’ve done it all season, a lot of work goes into it, so we’ll do the same. You do need a little bit of time to clear your head, because emotionally after the game it’s damaging and it hurts.

“We’ll feed back and we’ll see what kind of reaction we get next Monday against Wigan.

“We’ve got more days to prepare, more time to look at tonight. When you get a performance like that, then there’s places up for grabs. I can’t think there’s many players that think they’ve come out of the game with much credit.”
