The ref has blown his whistle and the match has started.
A Freddy Eastwood strike salvaged a point for Coventry City at Bloomfield Road, ending the dreams of a fourth win from five for Blackpool. The visitors got off to an impressive start after midfielder Aron Gunnarsson looked to make his mark on the game within 30 seconds of the kick-off. He picked up a loose ball midway into the Blackpool half and let fly with an impressive strike, only to be denied by the woodwork. After an exiting start the game out petered out somewhat as both sides struggled to create clear chances. After the break both managers had a lot to say as their sides looked to play tighter, more driven football. Blackpool finally broke the Coventry ranks as frontmen Steve Kabba and Gary Taylor-Fletcher burst clear on a counter attack. Taylor-Fletcher pulled inside a helpless Isaac Osbourne to tee up Ben Burgess, his side-footed effort swept coolly into the bottom corner. Coventry responded with good attacking pressure and came close just a minute later. Defender Keith Southern finally cleared the goalmouth scramble much to the relief of the home crowd. Blackpool should have doubled their lead as Burgess again caused trouble in the goalmouth, a strong header from Mo Camara's cross had everyone on their feet, his efforts thwarted only by the crossbar. Blackpool will rue their missed opportunity as Coventry forced their way back into the game when summer signing Eastwood crashed home from an impossible angle. The Seasiders' impressive win at Birmingham can be banished to the archives for supporters who nonetheless will feel content with a share of the points.
