Blackpool take just four subs to Nottingham Forest for season opener

Troubled Championship club Blackpool have only been able to muster a four-strong substitutes' bench for this afternoon's opening game of the season at Nottingham Forest.

The Lancashire side had been scrambling to assemble a squad in time for the 2014-15 campaign over the last couple of weeks.

Although they have been able to field 11 players, manager Jose Riga has just three outfield options on the bench and keeper Elliot Parish.
