PRESTON GET VITAL POINT IN LAST MINUTE Blackpool played threequarters of it with 10 men and a cripple, and half of it with nine men and two cripples and yet, in the end, lost a point only in the last minute.
For 60 minutes it was a rearguard action by a skeleton Blackpool force as desperate and uncompromising as the circumstances compelled it to be.
Since Preston won the corresponding game last season - and the only goal was scored by Willie McIntosh, who is now Blackpool’s centre-forward - Blackpool have scored 10 goals in two games against the Preston defence at Deepdale.
