Blackpool’s League 1 season continued with a win against Crewe at Gresty Road on Saturday.
A priceless win was secured by Blackpool (playing more than a half with 10-men) against relegation rivals Crewe, who look certain to gown down now, with this two-one win taking us out of the relegation zone.
Jack Redshaw had ‘an eventful’ five-minutes or so as he put Blackpool ahead on 34-minutes with his celebration seeing him booked, a few minutes later he was sent off for a foul on David Fox!
Crewe looked to have rescued a point on 83-minutes when Marcus Haber scored but a minute later a deflected Tom Aldred effort had Blackpool ahead again – at the death Brad Potts’ foul on Tom Hitchcock gave Crewe a penalty but Brad Inman blasted this over with this victory taking us up to 20th, a point above the bottom four.
Here’s a round up of the League 1 action from the other games played at the weekend….
These were the other results.
Saturday 19th March 2016
Bury 2-2 Shrewsbury
Coventry 0-0 Swindon
Crewe 1-2 Blackpool
Doncaster 1-2 Peterborough
Fleetwood 0-2 Barnsley
Millwall 1-0 Sheff Utd
Oldham 2-3 Rochdale
Port Vale 0-4 Burton
Scunthorpe 1-1 Chesterfield
Southend 1-1 Gillingham
Walsall 2-1 Colchester
Wigan 1-0 Bradford
A big ‘relegation six-pointer’ that neither side could afford to lose saw Blackpool (two-one) gain the points with the chances of staying up helped by this with Crewe now looking highly likely to join Colchester (two-one) who are cut adrift at the foot of the table with Walsall helping their promotion chances.
Doncaster’s (two-one) poor form went on with them beaten at the Keepmoat Stadium by Peterborough with Donny now looking in serious danger of dropping into League 2 unless they can find some form quickly.
Leaders Burton (four-nil) remained well placed to go up, quite possibly as Champions following a win at Port Vale with Wigan (one-nil) remaining in second with a win against play-off chasing Bradford.
Having lost last time Barnsley (two-nil) reacted well with a win at Fleetwood to helping their chances of making the play-offs, it did little to help the Cod Army’s bid to avoid relegation though.
