No new worries for Blackpool boss McPhillips
Posted Tuesday, March 12, 2019 by PA
Blackpool boss Terry McPhillips has no new injury concerns as he prepares for Tuesday night’s League One clash with Doncaster.
The Seasiders snatched a 2-2 draw with Southend in front of a crowd of 15,871 – their biggest for more than 40 years – on Saturday, courtesy of Taylor Moore’s own goal in the sixth minute of stoppage time as they launched a new era in the club’s history.
Striker Chris Long has been used as a substitute in the last two games having missed the 4-0 defeat at Bristol Rovers after his partner gave birth, and he will hope for a return to the starting line-up.
Defender Marc Bola continues to be assessed after missing the last five games with a hamstring problem, while Jimmy Ryan and Max Clayton are still sidelined.
Doncaster manager Grant McCann will be without striker John Marquis through suspension as he looks to end a five-game wait for a victory.
Marquis was sent off for a second bookable offence six minutes into the second half of Saturday’s 2-0 defeat at bottom-of-the-table AFC Wimbledon and will serve a one-match ban.
Defender Tom Anderson was an unused substitute for that game after missing the previous fixture because of concussion, and he will hope to force his way back into contention.
McCann otherwise has no fresh selection problems with long-term absentees Ian Lawlor (shoulder) and Joe Wright (ankle) working their way back to fitness.
