Blackpool v Blackburn Official Matchday Thread 02.10.21

i think first half Blackburn were surprised by how good we were, and we were at them, a lot of energy and a lot of good movement. Blackburn stepped up a gear second half, and we dropped down one for a lot of the time, there was enough fight and determination to hold on. Blalckburn i think will be one of the top four. An incredibly hard fought win
 
As well as the 3 substituted players it looked like Keshi nd Madine were struggling, which makes the result even more impressive
Sterling and Windle are excellent players as well for loanees
 
Just got back, I am quick enough to criticise and am just as quick to praise. That was a terrific performance under the circumstances with injury and against a fancied team. If we play with the same effort and commitment for most of the rest of the season, we will be up there competing with the best. Well done everyone involved, especially the fans who stopped trying to get the club in trouble.👏👏👏👏👏👏

Just been in my local in Lytham and the couple in the corner wearing nobber shirts were looking miserable. Then there was a father and son in Blagburn shirts. Another bloke pointed out that there was a Blackpool fan over there (me) and he really took the bait "just look at the table!" I didn't bite but made a right big deal of putting my Blackpool scarf on waggling it lots as I left and grinning ear to ear! 🤣😂🤣
 
Funny how everyone has different views. I would say Blackburn were possibly the weakest side I’ve seen this season - yes they perked up second half but that was down to us going for it too much first half & the injuries we sustained meaning we couldn’t freshen things up second half. Madine was never meant to play 90 off minutes for example.

I wish he would not play husband there … he is never a centre half .. and it showed. He is simply not physically big enough. Really missed keogh and his strength and experience

Yes in the ideal world Gretarsson would play left CB in front of H. After all he has been ‘brilliant’ in training according to Critch. But Husband’s versatility will get him the nod as a sub I suppose.

A message to their over entitled and unrealistic fans saying that!

"entitled and unrealistic fans", I've just read some of the comments on their site, they seem to think they have a God-given right to beat teams like Blackpool, why are there so many fans like that?

Keshi with another wasteful pass that fortunately resulted in a goal. Must do better.

I was kidding. He's been one of our best players. Was just joshing a myopic toss-pot on here.

two dickheads who'd rather have a pop than offer anything constructive..
Keshi played very well today especially first half. Second half was simply about graft and defending what we had.

I heard two of them walking away from the ground one saying to the other "I thought we'd win 4-1 today!" 🤣

The previous 14 meetings we have won 1 drawn 5 and lost 8, so perhaps that is where their confidence comes from?
 
I thought Tyrhys Dolan looked an excellent player for them, the only one to put in a shift both halves too and in Diaz they have one heck of a big mobile fella who is good in the air and good on the ground too. To take 3 points off them, especially after a much improved second half was a great result and I loved how we wound down the added on time by holding the ball up right in front of their keeper.

Dujon Sterling had another excellent game, its hard to see Gabriel finding his way back in at the moment and fantastic to see Jerry Yates grab his chance after Lavery’s sad departure and for Moore to come on and hold the fort was a good sign. We’ve got a really good squad and a very good manager and they proved that today against a hot n cold Blackburn.
 
Blackpool beat Blackburn 4-2 in August 1964 which was my first ever game. That was the 6th time they had beaten them at home in a league game in my lifetime. I was 7 years old.
They have now beaten them 6 more times in home league games played since that date. I’m 64!
 
I don't remember seeing a comment about the sub keeper. He did very well considering we were under a lot of pressure and that tip over in added time saved us 2 points.

I was there too!
 
Dujon MOM for me by a mile. Absolutely beast of a performance. Him, Ekpiteta, Keogh and Garbutt are proving to be a good back 4. Need to get Keogh back fit ASAP. Who'd have thought that a few weeks ago.
 
Sterling was fantastic. I thought Garbutt had an excellent game. Two lads who came along with us and didn't know any of our players picked out Marv. Dougall and Wintle are forming a good partnership. Keshi set up both goals, again.

Sterling and/or wintle. Both unassuming reliable and full shift. Excellent from the pair of them

Glad you got the better of Blackburn today, listening t6o their fans you would think that they were really a Prem team playing in the Championship just to show us how proper top teams play.
BTW, what is Maxwell's injury? I saw he had to go off.

I know what you mean, Just had a glance at their message board - “Losing to a poor L1 side.” 🙄

Booing their own team for much of the game. Booing our injured players even as they’re being helped from the pitch! It’s not time wasting if they have to go off you muppets.

Yeah Marv looks a top Championship CB all day long. Wintle was excellent, it looks hard work playing in centre mid for Pool atm, lots of dirty work to do and he and Dougall put in a shift.

That is very very sad story, but what a resilient caring young man he has turned out to be and a fine footballer who can go all the way to the top, some of his touches were Maradonaesque at times and a real handful - every respect for him.

Sorry to hear that. Hope you are OK.
Have the family got it as well?
Get well soon.
PS.
I had my booster jab last Thursday.

Thanks mate, hopefully through the worst of it. Just me, although they’ve just been for PCR to make sure.

I’ll be getting my booster when allowed, sorted the parents out for theirs on Monday.

Hopefully see you at Forest.
