Hull 0 Blackpool 1 - A professional job well done

It is true that for 20 minutes of the second half, Blackpool looked the weaker of the two teams but, overall, this was a professional performance that, at times, exuded class.

The Taylor-Fletcher goal was an absolute gem and, over the 90 minutes, the Tangerine Dreamers signalled that they are looking to become the ultimate yoyo or, more appropriately perhaps, roller coaster club. They pass well, they move well, and with Kevin Phillips and Taylor-Fletcher up front, you have to fancy them to score a few goals. Three points away to Hull represents a great start!

Blackpool's Achilles heel appears to be down the flanks - had Hull possessed more class up front, they would have converted two or three from the chances created. As for Hull, they look mid table prospects to me.
