Key Events
- FT: Reading 2-3 Blackpool
- Seasiders looking to get back to winning ways after weekend setback against Nottingham Forest
- Reading enjoying impressive run of form having won five of their last six
- Game kicks off at later time of 8pm
64 - First change
It’s a debut off the bench for deadline day signing Owen Dale, who replaces Keshi Anderson.
Go and make a name for yourself...
63 - Chance!
James Husband’s cross takes a deflection and loops up into the six-yard box, where the outstretched Jerry Yates can only get a slight touch on it, but not enough to force it home.
Pool still absolutely dominant here.
57 - No penalty again!
Now it's Demetri Mitchell's turn to be shown a yellow card for going down in the box following a coming together. Not often you see this...
56 - Waste (again)
Sonny Carey works the ball to Demetri Mitchell in space down the right, but he shoots straight at keeper Luke Southwood.
Sigh. Same again, really.
52 - No penalty!
Jerry Yates is shown a yellow for diving after he nips the ball past the Reading keeper and goes to ground.
Now it’s all kicking off between the two sets of players. Just a bit of handbags though.
50 - Only a corner
Keshi Anderson overhits a pass to James Husband, whose cross - for the second time tonight - crashes into the arm of a Reading defender, before the ball bobbles behind.
Only a corner though.
47 - Big save
Dan Grimshaw stands tall to deny George Puscas, who had been played in behind Marvin Ekpiteta, who has endured a torrid night so far.
That was almost goodnight for the Seasiders.
HALF TIME
The Seasiders have been the better side, but they’ve been far too wasteful and indecisive in the final third. Reading, by comparison, have been clinical.#
First goal can happen, second one is inexcusable.
