Blackpool Reaction

Dani Rodgrigues was delighted to get on to the score sheet at Bloomfield Road yesterday afternoon to net twice and help secure a share of the points for the Cherries. Speaking on BBC Radio Solent he was quoted as saying: "I'm a very happy man, not just because I scored those two goals but because we finished the game with a draw in a very tough match. I think we did well. I was looking for the spaces. I got a good ball, good service from Brian Stock and I didn't have much trouble with it, I just had to have a little touch and the ball just went in. The second was a striker's goal. It is instinct, you just do it. I was thinking about that before or whilst I was playing, it is something that just happens. Scoring always gives a striker some confidence and last week I scored against Doncaster and that gave me a little bit of a boost. I feel free when I'm playing, I feel good. I am enjoying myself and I think the lads are playing very very well".

In conceeding 3 goals, Sean O'Driscoll was later commenting on Solent about our defending: "No, it was bad defending. The conditions may have played a part but some of the mistakes we made were like we had never played together before. That is why in this division, everybody can beat everybody. We can play as well as we can in the last two or three games then come and give a 45 minutes as poor as that and I think probably every team in this division bar Luton at this minute in time, are doing the same".

From a Blackpool perspective, their manager, Colin Hendry was quoted on BBCi as saying: "No, it was bad defending. The conditions may have played a part but some of the mistakes we made were like we had never played together before. That is why in this division, everybody can beat everybody. We can play as well as we can in the last two or three games then come and give a 45 minutes as poor as that and I think probably every team in this division bar Luton at this minute in time, are doing the same".
