Blackpool 2, West Brom 3: Full Time Report
But it was Albion`s deadline-day signing Andy Slory, also introduced from the bench, who should have added a third for the visitors just after the hour mark, yet he fired wide when in a good position.
Dobbie then twice fired off target as he looked to make a quick impression of his own.
Blackpool were applying all the pressure as the game entered the closing stages and Campbell saw his 25-yard strike hit the crossbar.
And they were finally rewarded for their efforts in the 80th minute as Dobbie, aided by an Albion defence that backed off once again, found the bottom corner.
But in similar fashion to the first half, Albion regained the lead almost immediately when Butler upended substitute Ishmael Miller, leaving Dorrans to fire home the resulting penalty.
Blackpool pressed again late on in search of another leveller but it was not to be.
