BLACKPOOL threw away a half-time lead with a series of 'schoolboy eras' at Meadow Lane.

Triallist, Paul Robinson, put Blackpool ahead with a well taken effort after a clever through ball from Martin Bullock.

It was no more than the Seasiders deserved, having rcovered from the early loss of winger, Ben Thornley to dominate the game.

However, shortly after the break, County youngster, Paul Heffernan's long range shot caught Phil Barnes cold to level the scores.

Barnes redeemed himself with a superb save from a free-kick but, from the resulting corner, Paul Bolland headed home to give County a lead.

The game was finally beyond the Seasiders when Nicky Fenton latched on to a poor punch from Barnes to fire home.

That leaves the Seasiders with just two points from a possible 21, and gives manager, Steve McMahon, more food for thought as he considers his summer transfer dealings.
