The result will have looked like a really good and positive one, but instead it ended up a draw and we all feel different about it. “We have an extremely young squad, and that is where we are at. If we scored from Josh Bowler's cross in the last minute, the feeling would have been so different. “We have to make sure we stay in the hunt and keep trying to improve and build.” Any game after two defeats is a big game, whatever situation you are in. “It’s a big month in terms of what the season will end up looking like, so we have to shake off the disappointment we have because we have an opportunity to build some momentum and put some points on the board ahead of the last 10 games.

"It was a difficult first half and we found it hard to cope with them. Really, we could have got the second as well because we played well." They hit the post late on, it made everyone feel more anxious, so it probably became more difficult than it should have been, but I understand it." That created a bit of anxiety in the crowd and in our players and it gave them (Blackpool) hope and energy. I'm really frustrated as we took our foot off the gas and the crowd sensed it. "Tonight, it is probably a bit of relief I'm really proud of the players.

That was until they were gifted their second goal three minutes after the Seasiders levelled proceedings. Huge let off for the hosts. Russell Martin made three changes to the side that started against Sheffield United on Saturday. Manning does so well to win the ball high up the pitch, and he passes to Grimes who lets the ball run through to Ntcham, but Blackpool recover so well to intercept. Joe Allen and Ntcham replaced Jay Fulton and Cooper respectively with just shy of half an hour left on the clock as Martin went in search of a second goal to put the contest to bed. They survived a major scare four minutes from time as, after Latibeaudiere cheaply lost the ball, Carey could only drill against the base of Fisher's post, with the midfielder then heading over from a swift break as the Swans just about held on to clinch what will undoubtedly be a morale-boosting victory. Sorinola flashed the ball across Blackpool's six-yard box, and defender Connolly was unable to resist the urge to swipe at the ball, turning into his own net in the process. Swansea made full use of their numerical advantage as they kept possession for prolonged periods, and they almost produced a replica of their opening goal as Manning squared to Sorinola whose shot was parried by Maxwell. It was a theme that continued throughout the first-half as Swansea showed confidence on the ball, time and time again breaking the lines to get into dangerous areas. The Swans were in full control of the contest though, and they took the lead midway through the first-half with a move that epitomised the style of the current coaching staff. Harry Darling, Sorinola and Luke Cundle came in for Kyle Naughton, Olivier Ntcham and Liam Cullen as the Swans switched to a back three for the visit of the Seasiders who went into the match without a win in their last 13 league outings. Having been second best, Blackpool eventually improved in the latter stages of the first-half, although, after seeing a somewhat speculative effort saved by Fisher minutes earlier, Josh Bowler was well denied by the Swans goalkeeper late on in the opening 45 from a volleyed effort as the home side led at the break.

Bowler continued to pose the only danger to Swansea but McCarthy’s side made their challenge far steeper in the 57th minute when Patino was dismissed for a second yellow card after a foul on Sorinola. The visitors took a sigh of relief when a reckless handball by Callum Connolly in the opening minute led to a yellow card, rather than red, and there were more anxieties to follow. The visitors remain bottom of the table, but managed to level through Sonny Carey despite losing Charlie Patino to a second yellow card in the 57th minute.
