Michael Appleton has defended his decision to sacrifice Leeds United loanee Ian Poveda in Blackpool's 1-1 draw against Hull City on Boxing Day.
Poveda was replaced by Dominic Thompson in the 56th minute after Jordan Thorniley was sent off just after the restart.
Blackpool were leading 1-0 courtesy of Sonny Carey's first half opener, but Oscar Estupinan's 77th-minute equaliser salvaged a point for the Tigers.
