IT'S been all Burnley at Turf Moor in the first half but the Clarets have been unable to find the net against Blackpool.

Graham Alexander went close with a free-kick after 17 minutes before Russell Anderson had a shot deflected just wide.

On the half-hour, Clarke Carlisle got on the end of Wade Elliott's cross, only for Paul Rachubka to save, but Martin Paterson couldn't force home the rebound.

And just before the break, Kevin McDonald fired just wide from a tight angle.

Ian Evatt's tame header, easily saved by Brian jensen, was all that Blackpool had to show for the first 45 minutes.
