[29Days Late]

Three:
●misplaced passes.
●crosses to row Z.
●defensive howlers.

Match-winning crosses ???
one down, two to go

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

Yes, use the match link from the Tangerine TV menu option.

I’ve tried that same issue, thanks though

 

[Blackpool_Fan]

Jordan Rhodes finds the back of the net with perfectly timed finish, tapping home a CJ Hamilton cross!

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

Is the game not available to stream on ttv today?

If you are abroad or have a vpn yes

 

[Vince McLean]

What is it with Blackpool players and simple free kicks?

True - but we'd be delighted if he'd found the top corner - worth a try in my book.

 

[phill]

That goal came about because of norburn he made a great tackle and played the chicken in .He has made several good tackles already

Should have signed Charlie Kirk

 

[stigmaniac]

That was a better corner from Morgan!

 

[Blackpool Are Back!]

Even Fleetwood are winning!

FCF

 

[Blackpool Are Back!]

Should have signed Charlie Kirk

Critch wanted to.

 

[Blackpool Are Back!]

Now make the most of this free kick.

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

Lucky bastard keeper

 

[Vince McLean]

Mellon is right - Rhodes and Beesley look like a decent pairing.

 

[Blackpool Are Back!]

That's how to take a free kick.
Unlucky. Good save

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

A lot of empty seats and pretty quit atmosphere today

 

[Blackpool Are Back!]

Good to see we seem to have ditched the tippy-tappy passing across the back.

 

[hertfordseasider]

I just don't get Connolly as left wing back, it's madness.

 

[Tanger]

Connolly on the left just doesn't work. Ffs

 

[stigmaniac]

Connolly at LWB is STILL just not working. Momentum lost all the time.

We need the option to attack down both flanks and we just do not have it with this setup. How can a professional football manager not see this??

 

[Ollygon]

I'm underwhelmed by Morgan. Very busy but achieves very little.

 

[hertfordseasider]

Connolly on the left just doesn't work. Ffs

It's such a weird choice, you have to hope Gabriel will get there soon

 

[Blackpool Are Back!]

Another needless yellow card - kicking the ball away at a free kick

 

[Vince McLean]

Better to play CC in defence and let HUbby play LWB as Mellon suggests.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Thats 2 yellow cards now for kicking the ball away.

 

[SwannDangerous]

Is the sound not working for anyone else?

 

[18YearFreeTrial]

Awful officiating there by the ref

 

[stigmaniac]

Is the sound not working for anyone else?

Fine for me

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

Is the sound not working for anyone else?

Well I can’t hear the crowd

 

[Ollygon]

Wigan 70% possession and only 1 effort.

 

[Old_Laytonian]

Any positives lads ? Just the read the last few.post, usual doom and gloom

 

[I bleed Tangerine]

Wigan 70% possession and only 1 effort.

Sounds like us for the last few games.

 

[Blackpool Are Back!]

Any positives lads ? Just the read the last few.post, usual doom and gloom

Yeah - we are winning, playing quite well and have ditched the passing across the back.

 

[Ollygon]

I hope the East Stand kiosks have plenty of pies for half time.

 

[Old_Laytonian]

Yeah - we are winning, playing quite well and have ditched the passing across the back.

I'll have another pint then, phew

My first game watching since opening game and not to bad overall, started brightly enough but Wigan are coming more into it last 15.

I’ve been reading how bad we have been of late so I’m guessing today is an improvement, but defo room for more.

 

[Ormergod]

Loads better today.Best since first half v Burton

 

[Ollygon]

A lot better- but that's not saying much.

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

Haha, chizzy telling MM there’s a pie downstairs if he wants one, he’d better be quick, it’s Wigan in town

 

[Pun_1]

Buzzing Rhodes has scored. Hopefully the first of many

 

[stigmaniac]

Wigan are doing so little with the ball that it's relatively easy for us, so far. They're playing right into our system.

We're being far more direct with the ball and Beesley and Rhodes have worked hard winning their share of the "bits and pieces". Deserved 1-0 lead but we're so blunt down the left with Connolly, needs Thommo out there, or Husband if we must.

 

[bill40]

So far so good...

 

[Old_Laytonian]

I went to Wolves my first game this year and thought we weren't that bad . The lack of creativity was a bit worrying but tried to knock the ball around. Played the high press but Wolves played through and around them. My wife a Wolves thought 5-0 flattered them so sounds positive today

 

[Ormergod]

Shame about that good breakaway.Hamiltons ball to Morgan was lacking pace.We really should’ve done better with that chance.Morgan looked for the pass again but he should’ve shot.

 

[Albert Ross]

Critch wanted to.

Wouldn’t surprise me if his contract is mutually terminated and he comes here as a free agent. Charlton obviously don’t want him and he can’t be happy, he’s not injured and not even in the squad today.

 

[Costero Poderoso]

leading so yayyyy

but how many times do we have to turn back going down the left.

if critchley has to play connolly then switch hom over with hubbs. the only time weve looked threatening down that side is when hubby has been down the wing.

its just a very stupid tactic.

Neil stop it.

and another completely shit ref and liner

 

[Ormergod]

70 30 possession to them.surprised at that doesn’t feel that much

 

[Insider]

I don't know how Critch will say he set us up but watching the match live we look for all the world to be playing a back 4. Connolly is not playing as a WB just bog standard LB. CJ playing more as a right winger and Pennington is playing RB.
And the ref is bloody awful.

 

[Ollygon]

My blood pressures better this week. No Ekpathetic

 

[MeanLeanTangerineMachine]

Brilliant from CJ again

 

[Ollygon]

CJ again!
