Town’s post-international break blues continued after they were held to a 2-2 home draw by Blackpool. The Blues, who have now not won a league game after an international break for 22 matches stretching back to September 2014, went in front on eight via Gwion Edwards but the Tangerines levelled through Joe Nuttall on 22. Blackpool took the lead from a disputed penalty converted by Jay Spearing eight minutes after the restart but Luke Garbutt equalised for Town, also from the spot, on 58.

Boss Mick McCarthy says the Blues have been more like themselves in their draws with Nottingham Forest and Cardiff but need to turn those good performances into wins. Town face third-bottom Bolton Wanderers at Portman Road this evening with their winless run having stretched to seven league games.

Micky Mellon has made his second signing in his second term as Tranmere manager, bringing in midfielder Chris Merrie, the club has announced.
