The Seasiders took the lead in the opening exchanges through a Teddy Sharman-Lowe own goal, after a shot from Dale Taylor went in off the keeper after hitting the post, before the visitors levelled through Mason Burstow after the break.

Heading into the fixture at Bloomfield Road, Bruce's side desperately needed something, after losing four of their opening five League One games - including back-to-back away defeats against Mansfield Town and Plymouth Argyle, making a point and a more spirited performance a welcome outcome.

"It was a good game in awful conditions, with two good sides who have made huge changes to their squad," Bruce said.
