Rochdale v Blackpool Official Matchnight Thread 20.04.21

[Insider]

No surprises in the team selection for me either.
Keep going with the strongest team possible until a play off place is secured.

 

[Halifax71]

Pompey's form completely gone to shit.

1 down to Swindon after 40 mins.

 

[Mark_GT]

Agree this could be tough going. Come on Pool, be ruthless.

 

[Davepick]

Poor Gretarsson can't get a run in the team can he? Gets 1 game back and is out injured again, got to be the unluckiest player I can remember!

Wouldn't have minded seeing Ekpiteta return, but if Turton/Thorniley can do a number on Peterborough, Ballard/Thorniley will have my trust. To be fair second half of this season we can play anyone at centre half and do alright!

Gretarsson might be unlucky, but that's because he gets stuck in and doesn't draw back from anything.
A 100 % every game.
He'll do for me.

Be a great result for us but put more pressure on Rochdale to get something from us

 

[Macseasider]

COME ON YOU TANGERINE LADS!!!

 

[Tangerine Manc]

Come on you poool

 

[Scaramanga]

Come on you Seasiders

 

[Greggy Lane Lasher]

No home commentary?

 

[20togo]

chissy "playing right to left". er..no! left to right.

 

[20togo]

chissy obviously on opposite side to camera.

 

[Lala]

COYP !

 

[Ormergod]

quality save

 

[Tangojoe]

Thought he's beaten Max then

 

[Hazi]

Sea Sea Sea ........

Mitchell?

 

[TangerineTed]

Getting hammered here

 

[Mark_GT]

Maxwell currently keeping us in the match.

 

[Tangojoe]

Bloody hell. That could be two to them

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Starting hesitantly.

 

[Halifax71]

Lack of fight with one of the teams out there.

 

[20togo]

not a great start but they are in decent form so you'd expect some early pressure. Just got to see it out.

 

[BFCAleman]

Which side is embleton playing for ? Misplaced 4 passes already

 

[Scaramanga]

No17 looks a good player

 

[Macseasider]

Kaikai is all at sea here. Looks half asleep

 

[TimperleyTangerine]

For me, Mitchell should be playing, Embleton started very poorly.

No pace down the right, if you’re playing Embleton then I’d have played Gabriel for Turton.

 

[TangerinePeel]

Shaky start from Embo, misplaced about 4 passes and given possession away in their half. Hopefully got it out his system!

 

[Dark_Side_of_the_Lune]

All about the formations

 

[Matesrates]

They’ve had 5 shots so far, 2 on target

 

[Victorsponge]

Could do with Embleton completing a pass

 

[Albert Ross]

Which side is embleton playing for ? Misplaced 4 passes already

When he wasn’t playing Saturday, he must have been watching Dougal.

 

[Markobfc]

This is painful again. I’ve run in midfield

 

[20togo]

passing is awful

 

[TangerinePeel]

Gretarsson might be unlucky, but that's because he gets stuck in and doesn't draw back from anything.
A 100 % every game.
He'll do for me.

I'm a big fan as well DP, just hope he can get over these injuries and we can see him regularly!

 

[Macseasider]

passing is awful

Kaikai's in particular. Shocking so far.

 

[Wizzerboy]

No17 looks a good player

Conor Grant, yeh agree

 

[Halifax71]

Swindon 2 up.

 

[Tangojoe]

We're getting overrun in midfield

 

[doolan_legend]

How is Kai Kai not slotting Embleton in there? Decision making so poor at times.

 

[TangerinePeel]

What a waste of a counter that was, bloody hell boys wake up!

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Lazy Kaikai, f'ing lazy.

 

[Chishandfips]

Don’t want to go a goal behind here and so I’d be tweaking something if I was Critch.

 

[Victorsponge]

Really getting sick of the long ball game, this must be what Critch is coaching because we've done this for the last half dozen games

 

[TangerinePeel]

Winds me up sometimes when we go from a great position in the corner and we pass it back to our centre halves

 

[TimperleyTangerine]

Kaikai's in particular. Shocking so far.

To be fair on the last pass, he was waiting for an age for Embleton to arrive on the overlap. He’s way off the pace.

 

[FY16JJ]

Pompey 2-0 down .. that points total is getting less and less.

 

[hertfordseasider]

we'll settle down, plenty of time yet.

 

[FY5_Seasider]

Back to just hoofing it anywhere again I see. What kind of game plan is that???

 

[JJpool]

We look poor so far, final ball has been dire.

 

[Matesrates]

Let’s hope we can weather the storm and push on
