Blackpool v Crewe Official Matchnight Thread 02.03.21

[Yarmouth Seasider]

We need to do better but the only stat that matters is in the goals column, we've got 1, they haven't

 

[we_need_a_bob_hatton]

This Crewe team remind me of Blackpool first 9 games....Pretty on the eye without much penetration up front and unable to keep a clean sheet.

 

[rememberlesshannon]

A few thoughts on that.
1. Crewe are a better side than most we've faced this season
2. We're a better side than we showed in that half
3. Agree with someone who said earlier on this thread, the kick off set the tone for the first 30 mins; it was lazy and sloppy.

That would be me and it did set the tone . I know we are winning but i stick by what i said, bring Dougall on and get control of the ball.

 

[Stanah]

Goal, shots on targets, corners, shots are all far more important stats and we're winning on them all.

Good god, are there any Pool supporters on this site?

Come on you Pool!

 

[TangerineBayern]

Sign of a decent team is soaking up a lot of pressure then nicking one. That will steady us and NC will hopefully tweak a few things at half time and see us playing better 2nd half especially in midfiel.

 

[bollieboy]

Think there was a small change mid way through half with Stewart told to push on to one of their deep lying midfielders. Too easy for them before that.

 

[Bobtheretiredbroker]

As Gresvsie used to say to the Saint "it's a funny old game".

Need to hit them again early in the second half while they still reeling.

 

[voyeur]

6 points off 4th and 5th with 3 games in hand as it stands....

 

[Hadley]

I think they will tire last 20. Time then for CJ.

 

[Dave62]

I would freshen things up in the 2nd half with CJ and possibly Embleton. We need to keep the ball better
Agree with Bob, this Crewe side are a little like us in early season.
This is a good defensive test. The great Italian sides have won 1-0 after defending for 89 minutes for years.
But I've seen enough of the defensive test now, I'd prefer to see us control possession better in the 2nd half

 

[Tetley]

We need to keep the ball a lot better than in the first half and keep it tight ,crewe will try to close us down again and hopefully we can catch them on the break,but it will be as hard in second as first ,hopefully we get stronger and crewe tire as game progresses and get a couple more goals.

 

[Ormergod]

Top corner garbutt

 

[TangerinePeel]

Bizarre wall that

 

[tangerinenotorange]

Interesting wall

 

[Stanah]

Interesting wall

I thought that, I like the idea

 

[Hazi]

Cod’s 2 up
Good result for us

 

[Phil_bfc deux]

Pressing higher now us

 

[tangerinenotorange]

Grayson getting one over on Appleton 0-2

 

[Tangerinemoss]

Would love to see Kaikai have one of those free kicks for a change

 

[TangerinePeel]

Love an offside these twats

 

[onlyonepool]

We should have put 2 in the wall

 

[Memphisboy]

Sooner we get Gretarrson back in the team the better. Thorniley gives me kittens

 

[Stanah]

Pressing higher now us

And well on top at the moment

 

[clappers]

Love it when we get a goal against the grain

 

[hertfordseasider]

should be 2-0

 

[TangerinePeel]

Brilliant ball by Ward that

 

[Tangerine Manc]

Is CJ coming on

 

[Scaramanga]

Yep

 

[TangerinePeel]

Here he is!

 

[Levi501]

CJ on

 

[Mark_GT]

Here comes the pace

 

[tangerinenotorange]

Whoo hoo CJ is back

 

[Stanah]

I think that's two good subs

 

[Sooty59]

We’ve improved & Crewe have slowed down. Still giving possession away. Ooh CJ.

58 - Sullay Kaikai and Ellis Simms are the two to make way. Hamilton on for his first appearance since Dec 19.

57 - Demetri Mitchell and CJ Hamilton are getting ready to come on (1-0)

 

[20togo]

should be 2-0

nor really, so many bodies in there always likely to be blocked

 

[hertfordseasider]

Simms off? CJ with Yates? Mitchell for Kaikai

 

[TangerinePeel]

That might be the fastest pair of substitutes to ever come on

 

[tangerine.com]

poor linesman

 

[TangerinePeel]

Why do officials keep going off injured in our games? Twice in a season now I've never seen it before in my life

 

[zigire]

Another injury to an official....

 

[Tangerine Manc]

Looks bad this to Lino

 

[Loco]

Never seen the physio on for a linesman before

 

[thefutureistangerine]

At least it's the liner and not one of our CBs this time

 

[voyeur]

I would freshen things up in the 2nd half with CJ and possibly Embleton. We need to keep the ball better
Agree with Bob, this Crewe side are a little like us in early season.

I thought we were shit at the start of the season?

 

[hertfordseasider]

nor really, so many bidies ib rgere always likely ti be blocked

I meant one of the strikers getting onto the cross, not Kaikai's effort

 

[Tangerine Manc]

Come on , he is off the pitch

 

[Memphisboy]

Should have taken Yates off rather than Simms in my opinion. Simms is faster and offers more physicality.

 

[Macseasider]

This injury to the lino is all part of Jimmy Floyd's elaborate plan for a postponement.......

 

[tangerine.com]

Blimey time will be added on for injured linesman.
