Blackpool v Shrewsbury Official Matchday Thread 18.11.23

[Micky Walsh]

Not read any comments on here. My take is we have been very sharp, without the ball the closing down of space has been great, we are also mixing it up, playing short and going long, lots of energy. and I've headphones on watching from afar, hats of to the crowd they make some noise!

 

[Costero Poderoso]

good half that, now need t repeat that dominance - no sitting back

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

The sobering thought is that even though we're playing well, we'll still be 8 points off 2nd spot if we win, having played 2 games more

Doesn’t matter right now what’s important is that we kick on this second half and in the upcoming games, I have felt that this sort of performance has been coming.

 

[bill40]

Please do NOT sit back and defend the lead in the 2nd half Critch.

Plwase DO sit back and protect the lead just don't concede. As ever this has nothing to do with my prediction in the league. I would never put personal glory before the team

 

[Micky Walsh]

Lovely mix of good possession based football with intent and direct balls up to the front two. Impressed with that.

Love how quickly Dembele gets to his feet after being taken down. Now get him off the park, wrap him up in cotton wool for next week and get Connolly on to see it out professionally. Job done.

Agreed on all of that!

 

[1966_and_all_that]

I thought we were a bit lax in the last 10 mins. Let's hope we're fired up for the second half.

 

[Tangman74]

Only a third will make it safe.

This is Blackpool - never safe lol

We’ve not always been safe with a 2-0 lead though. We can’t throw this away again

Hopefully we get a third and then we give some gametime to some of the guys on the bench. Joseph for instance., I'm guessing Beesley will run himself out and then Joseph will enter.
If I had to make a change now I would do Lyons for Dale

 

[Realfish]

Second half? More of the same or a second half fade out? Hope Critchley doesn't decide to stick.

 

[BFCAleman]

Vocal support poor again

Also Weir for Carey after 70 or so

 

[Pun_1]

Lets not do what we did against Cheltenham.

We need to go out and play at the same tempo and attack them and kill the game off.

Dale has looked sharp today, fancy him to notch in the 2nd half.

Lyons does need pitch time. Maybe replace CJ?

 

[Old_Laytonian]

Zzzz

 

[Shootz]

So we removed the gambling company sponsor to promote gambling awareness?

Correct

 

[ElBurroSinNombre]

CJ is such a threat though with his pace

 

[tommytwojags]

Good first half. I'd love to see us coast to victory but we don't seem to do two halves.

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

Tim pot TV a quality again

 

[Old_Laytonian]

They've only scored two goals away all season

 

[ElBurroSinNombre]

Correct

Is Scott Benton in hospitality?

 

[SeasideKurt]

Nothing fucks me off more when we go short and the ball ends up back at the half way line. Just put it in the box in these conditions.

 

[Always tangerine]

Also Weir for Carey after 70 or so

Sorry I don't trust Weir

 

[ElBurroSinNombre]

Sorry I don't trust Weir

He needs game time
Chizxy back in the room!

 

[SeasideKurt]

Kenny Dougall man of the match so far.

 

[hertfordseasider]

Carey has had a really good game so far, look really comfortable, crowd right behind them, et's get a couple more.

 

[ElBurroSinNombre]

'effects of the Bovril have worn off'
Is this drugs talk?

 

[voyeur]

Up the Pool!

 

[Mark_GT]

very occasionally Chisnall has a slight awareness of the reality around him

His endless banal twittering is in stark contrast to Gary Bowyer, who reads the game perfectly and says just enough to keep the listener informed.

Ying and Yang.

It's brown innit!!

It's brown innit!!

They are sniffing a lot

 

[hertfordseasider]

Has Marv got "How to pass to your team mate out of defence" book as an early Christmas pressie?

They are sniffing a lot

Have you ever tried chasing the Bovril?

 

[Old_Laytonian]

I'm missing A Tense Grin's incisive reports

 

[SeasideKurt]

How on earth has that not gone in....

 

[look.its.luke]

Wonder save .

 

[voyeur]

It's brown innit!!

We've all hallucinated on Bovril. I'm sure. Only explanation for some of the stuff I've seen at Bloomers.

Have you ever tried chasing the Bovril?

Yes but I'm just too slow these days. Me knees have gone.

 

[hertfordseasider]

Brilliant keeping

 

[voyeur]

Only six shots in an hour?

 

[Wizzerboy]

Wonder save .

It was a brilliant double save

 

[Old_Laytonian]

Just showed it on Sky . Gary Rowett can only see us scoring next

 

[Yarmouth Seasider]

Stevenage 1-0 up against Lincoln and going 4th

 

[phill]

Ref been excellent so far not fallen for a single dive by either side

 

[voyeur]

Accy 2 Wrexham 0

Well worth the extra fiver.

 

[SeasideKurt]

Has Dembele slept with the referees wife or something?

 

[Wizzerboy]

Stevenage 1-0 up against Lincoln and going 4th

No
They're going to fade

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

Wow, Dembele staying on, I’m pleasantly surprised

 

[voyeur]

Stevenage are living proof that we have under performed this season!
