Blackpool goalkeeper Paul Rachubka is unhappy at having lost his first-team spot with the Seasiders.

The 27-year-old has had to sit on the subs bench since being sent off in the 1-0 win at Crystal Palace, with Matt Gilks impressing ahead of Rachubka.

Pool caretaker boss Tony Parkes told the Blackpool Gazette: "Paul knocked on my door and asked what he had done wrong. I told him he'd done nothing wrong.

"He was unlucky to get sent off, but Matt has done nothing wrong since I gave him the shirt, so it's a case of he has to lose that shirt before Paul gets back in.

"You've just got to work hard and see what happens.

"They have to train hard and catch your eye, they have to show good attitude day in, day out and it's the way they will get back in."
