An excellent turnout of Seasiders fans at Oakwell after the fortnight’s break probably came away slightly frustrated that we didn’t pick up three points, although Barnsley played their full part in what was a very entertaining game.
After an early scare when Gilks saved low to his post, Blackpool exerted control of the game and created a number of half chances without really clicking into full, fluent mode. Banrsley then scored against the run of play when it appeared that Gilks maybe could have done better with the cross shot.
We again took control though and got a fully deserved equaliser as GTF and Martinez combined well before Martinez slipped a lovely ball into Tom Ince’s path. His pace took him away from the defenders before coolly slotting the ball past the keeper. Unfortunately we were unable to convert a number of good chances as the second half wore on with the keeper in inspired form, saving well from Gomes and Ince in particular.
So only a point to show for it and the result means that we slip a place in the table, but we have played an additional game away from home. Tuesday night against Middlesbrough is a stern test, but if we play to our abilities I have no worries about winning the game.
These are heady days to be a Pool fan, with slick flowing and most importantly, winning football on offer. If possible, get down to Bloomfield Rd and see for yourself.
STARMAN: TOM INCE
