Blackpool boss Steve Bruce felt the officials made the right call to chalk off what would have been a late winner for Wanderers.
Xavier Simons thought he had scored seven minutes from time but Thierry Gale was judged to have been in an offside position in front of Bailey Peacock-Farrell.
“We had one exactly the same at Mansfield where the boy is five yards offside,” Bruce said after the final whistle.
“Look, he is standing in front of Bailey and he has impeded him. So when they are there and they're standing with the goalkeeper, I do think the linesman has got it right.
“I’m going to say that and their manager's going to say the opposite, of course!
“But we had one and we did ask the officials. He was five yards offside at Mansfield, standing in front of the goalkeeper, and we believe that there was an injustice. So it does swing around a bit.”
Bruce felt there were “glimpses” his side are heading in the right direction following a tough start to the campaign.
He was left ruing Dale Taylor’s big chance in the latter stages, which forced a fine save from Teddy Sharman-Lowe.
When asked if he thought it was the right result, Bruce replied: “Maybe, we had a glorious chance to Dale which I really fancied.
“But I think it was two really good teams who were fighting in the way, who eventually, I believe, will be there and thereabouts.
“They have made big changes to their squad, a similar sort of situation to us, trying to bed people in and all the rest of it.
“But there were glimpses and signs, without a goalscorer to bring on, but I've seen enough to suggest that we are going in the right direction.”
Taylor, who joined the Seasiders from Nottingham Forest several weeks ago, was forced off with an injury in the final minutes.
“He has got a severe dead leg, unfortunately, which we hope is not too bad,” the head coach explained.
“It is a kick, but as long as it's not too bad then we expect him to be OK. Usually, dead legs are sore for a period of time and then he will be OK.”
