Grayson slams Seasiders

Blackpool manager Simon Grayson admitted that his side had been poor in their 2-0 Carling Cup first round defeat at Macclesfield Town.
The Seasiders were well beaten by their League Two opponents, with Grayson accepting that his side need to tighten up in defence.
He told the Blackpool Gazette: "It was a bad night and I think everyone should be embarrassed by the scoreline.
"First half we did fairly well and created a lot of chances, but we either hit the bar, missed our opportunities or the ball just wouldn't drop for us.
"However, after the break we were poor and I just can't defend the players when we concede from two set-pieces.
"If you add in the one we conceded on Saturday against Bristol City, that is three goals we've conceded now from set-pieces.
"It is obviously something that we've got to eradicate, because if we are making simple mistakes like that, then it puts extra pressure on the strikers."
