Blackpool boss Ian Holloway found positives in their 0-0 draw with Stoke City.
The result means Holloway's team - who are still to host Bolton between daunting-looking trips to Tottenham and Manchester United - have now won only one of their last 15 matches and this was the first time they had failed to score at their own ground this term.
But Holloway said: "When we watched Stoke (win 3-0) against Wolves in the week, we thought 'oh dear, they are in fine form', so I think this proves that we have come out of our doldrums.
"We have taken on a really good side at our place and kept a clean sheet.
"Their defence was slightly better than our attacking options today, so well done to them for nullifying us.
"We've lost a record (scoring in every home game), but we've gained something - we've kept a clean sheet in the Premier League at home."
