Substitute Jamille Matt was hauled down in the area, but Potts couldn’t convert, nevertheless The Seasiders moved a point closer to the play-offs.

The midfielder was denied by a fine save from the goalkeeper moments after the break, while Dean Lyness was left relatively untested.

The Wycombe approach was clear in the opening stages, as Adebayo Akinfenwa hustled Tom Aldred off the ball, before snatching at his effort and volleying wide.

Blackpool were comfortably dealing with Wycombe striker aside from that however, and could have led themselves on 18 minutes when Jack Payne flicked Andy Taylor’s cross just wide.

They came even closer with the next break away, but after Mark Cullen set Potts free, the midfielder’s cross had Blackman scrambling and came back off the angle of post and bar.

Payne was the next man to try his luck, but his right-footed volley flew harmlessly wide of the target, before Cullen raced into space but lacked quality in his final pass to Potts when inside the box.

Three minutes before the break Dean Lyness made his first save of the contest, getting down low to get a firm hand to Paris Cowan-Hall’s powerful effort.
