Despite knocking on the door for much of the half Blackpool still find themselves down 2-0 after Hugo Rodallega's early goal put them on the back foot and Charles N'Zogbia delivered a potentially crippling blow to their season during stoppage time, the winger catching Charlie Adam possession and weaving his way through the Blackpool defence to plant a firm finish beyond Matthew Gilks.
Blackpool Vs. Wigan Athletic: Blackpool’s Season On The Line, 2-0 Down At Half Time
Truth be told, despite the hosts applying plenty of pressure, they’ve never even looked that close to scoring - Wigan are doing a phenomenal job closing them down and defending en masse, and as it stands you’d be surprised to see Blackpool get three clean chances, let alone three goals. And it is three goals Blackpool require, because a draw does nobody any good. In the previous clash between these teams, Blackpool annihilated Wigan 4-0 at the DW Stadium. Now it looks like the Latics are returning the favour.
