On this day in 
BLACKPOOL GET POINT IN GAME OF THRILLS Blackpool’s forwards during the first half and, in a lesser degree in the second, were a good progressive line, raiding on an open front and led with enterprise and an unsuspected speed by Willie McIntosh.
McKnight silenced a few of the critics by his tireless football in the first half, but Mortensen is still not finding or forcing those old paths to goal.
THERE can be no more Cup-ties at Blackpool this season but next weekend it will be the next best thing with Preston North End here - and Preston desperate for points which must be won if relegation is to be escaped. Blackpool’s forwards have been making hay of Preston’s defences in recent times. There was the famous 7-0 match at Deepdale on the last day of last season.
A 3-1 game, which again might have approached double figures, followed on the Preston ground last October. Nothing seemed easier in those two games than for a Blackpool forward to shoot or head a ball past the Preston goalkeeper.
If that should happen next weekend it might be calamitous for North End, who have won only two away matches this season, and in 14 games on tour lost 29 goals, an average of over two a match.
