A little frustrating so far, but got to give credit to the away side for the way they've stifled the Seasiders. Been the better side since Pool's bright start.
Need Embers to try and last more than 10 mins in the 2nd half

FT 0-0 Toothless down the middle of the pitch. Kaikai even tho he should have scored was my MotM. Our only goal threat all night.
No subs to change us either

Late agony for Reds as Bishop's spot kick is saved
Colby Bishop had a penalty saved in the 88th minute to deny Accrington Stanley a win against in-form Blackpool at Bloomfield Road.
Sean McConville was fouled by Jordan Gabriel in the area and Bishop lined up for a certain winner but Chris Maxwell saved his spot kick, which went straight down the middle with pace.
It was agony for the Reds who had put on a solid defensive display against the promotion-chasers after conceding five on Saturday.
It was always going to be tough against Neil Critchley’s side, who have now extended their unbeaten run to 15 league games.
John Coleman made two changes from the team which lost 5-1 to AFC Wimbledon, bringing in David Morgan and Ben Barclay with Joe Maguire and Matt Butcher dropping to the bench.
There wasn’t a lot in the opening minutes with the first shot on goal on seven minutes when Sullay Kaikai’s strike was well saved by Toby Savin, the keeper diving low.
Grant Ward tried his luck from 30 yards and Savin had to push the ball over while Stanley’s first shot came on 20 minutes from a Sean McConville free kick which took a deflection.
Those early efforts were Blackpool’s only shots of the half as Stanley took charge.
They forced a couple of corners and they enjoyed a strong spell of pressure, on the front foot, but couldn’t test Maxwell.
Dion Charles had a strike ruled out for off-side on the stroke of half-time.
Adam Phillips came on for Morgan at the break and Stanley continued to force the pace, Bishop heading over in a good position.
Seamus Conneely was spraying the ball around well with Phillips clipping the captain’s ball into the area but Maxwell got their first.
However, Blackpool carved out the better chances and came close to breaking the deadlock on 55 minute. Ellis Simms raced down the wing and found Jerry Yates in the area. Yates passed to Kaikai who was free at the far post but Savin did superbly well to get across his goal and deny a certain goal. The Reds keeper also stopped the rebound from the Pool frontman.
It was a let-off for the Reds but the visitors continued to look a threat with a Phillips ball into the box desperately cleared and Charles had a long range effort saved by Maxwell.
A long Paul Smyth throw caused chaos in the area on 68 minutes and the Reds appealed for a penalty when Michael Nottingham went down but nothing was given.
However, the post saved Stanley in the 73rd minute when Luke Garbutt unleashed a fierce strike from distance and it hit the woodwork and bounced out.
It always looked like one goal would decide it — and Bishop had a great chance from the spot but Maxwell thwarted him.
It means both games between the side's finished goalless.
Learning to read clusters is not something your eyes do naturally. It takes constant practice.
Thought Accy had the 3 best players on the pitch - Savin, Nottingham and McConville

Chris Maxwell's late penalty save kept Blackpool's unbeaten run intact, in a tight 0-0 draw with Accrington at Bloomfield Road.
The Blackpool skipper saved Colby Bishop's 88th minute penalty, in a match where Blackpool did everything but put the ball over the line.
Sullay Kaikai had a good opportunity to make it 1-0 on ten minutes. Some great link-up play between Kaikai and Ellis Simms allowed Kaikai the space to have a shot on goal from the edge of the area, but Toby Savin was equal to it in the Accy goal.
Grant Ward then tried his luck from range five minutes later, with his powerful drive saved by Savin.
In a half which offered few chances for either side, Accrington did have the ball in the back of the net in added time following a scrappy corner kick. The ball bounced around and was stuck into the net by Dion Charles, but the linesman gave offside.
Half-time: Blackpool 0 Accrington Stanley 0
Blackpool’s golden opportunity to score came ten minutes into the second half. A rapid counter-attack had Blackpool in on goal, with Ellis Simms, Jerry Yates and Sullay Kaikai all in the box. Simms fed the ball to Yates, who controlled the ball and fed the pace to Kaikai. Kaikai, who was totally unmarked at the back post, shot at goal, but Saving made an incredible save to his right to palm it away. The ball came back to Kaikai, who’s first time effort went over.
In what was proving to be a tight match, Accrington had a penalty claim waved away after Dion Charles went down in the penalty area following a corner kick. The Accy man went down under a challenge after contestinf for the loose ball, but the referee turned down the claims.
At the other end, Luke Garbutt smacked the post with a great effort from distance, but his effort bounced clear of Savin’s post.
With just five minutes remaining, Accrington were awarded a penalty after Sean McConville collided with a Blackpool man in the box. Up stepped Colby Bishop, who smashed it down the middle, but Chris Maxwell was there to block the ball and deny Accrington a certain winner, with the match ending goalless.
