Fleetwood boss rues clinical finishing of Championship opponents

Micky Mellon watched his team ship five goals in the 5-1 home defeat to local rivals Blackpool and admitted that quality of finishing is not something they are used to at Blue Square level. Blackpool had six chances and took five and that is the difference between the levels we play at. I thought we played some good football but got punished every time Blackpool attacked but full credit to them for their finishing was top drawer.

"We are not used to that level of finishing but in-between I thought we played some good stuff.

"We had a couple of chances and their keeper made some fine saves but overall we were undone by the better team and full credit to them. Again though, that is the difference, the quality of goalkeeping.

"But in-between I was proud of the type of football we played."
