Blackpool Match Thread

[Pool and Darts]

Has he said "It's a corner, you cheat" yet?

You're not going to believe this........

[Archie's penalty]

What was Long playing at? What an idiot.

SHunt missed

[ZacNaloen]

Wonderful!

Dolan wants a corner and says 'It's a corner you cheat' to the Blackpool player. I want him back every week!

It's better than that, it was aimed at the linesman

[Archie's penalty]

WHY are we so crap at pens?

What a bore you are can't you be happy with three points?

[SteveRoyal]

Shunt should have scored the penalty.
Long should have been more mature.
We should have played better.
We got 3 points, and that's all I cared about.

[TNR]

3pts is 3pts, although not totally deserved imo.

[Royal Lady]

I think it's an important point ACTUALLY. We should be able to put away more penalties than we have done for the last few seasons. The number of misses is astonishing. Still, as you say 3 points from what was a pretty dire game by accounts from the ground is good going.

[chandog]

poor game, good result

imo long should not have tried to muscle in on taking the penalty. Shunt is our normal penalty taker and should be left to take them

bit of a worry with USA getting injured. sounded as though his calf was the problem so lets hope its only a slight strain

the team will have to play better to take three points from the norwich game. i expect coppell to return to a similar line up to the barnsley game but with bikey back in for doobs

I think Shunt has been pretty good this season with his pens. But there's no point arguing the table looks great now:

+3 points for Reading keeping pace with top spots.

[RobRoyal]

Not the most convincing, but another 3 points on the board. What with the tired legs from Saturday and Blackpool's decent away record this one was possibly trickier than it looked.

Shame we couldn't close the gap to 2nd but Birmingham have another tough test on saturday, and they're not looking so hot.

We're still 3rd, yes, but come the end of the season being 3rd and being 7 points or whatever ahead of 4th place will make no odds will it!

[Archie's penalty]

The top three are pretty unbelievable this year. Top two well over two points per game - us in third just under - if we win on Sat we will have two points per game.

Looks like quite a gap could open up soon enough between third and fourth.

[Royal With Cheese]

Well, the Harper and Kebe knockers were really vindicated in their vitriolic comments.

[Ian Royal]

So Marek and Gunnarsson dominate against 10 men who are torn to shreds by his creativity.

Blackpool really should have had an equaliser. A couple of dubious penalty shouts and some close calls from set plays with both USA and Fed flapping. A goal ruled out for offside.

Poor performance from Reading, but job done.

Henry sounded promising, Doyle could do with finding the net again, he's dried up for the moment.

[winchester_royal]

Marek only bright spark in a pretty dull performance tbh. The Red Card killed the game as a spectacle.

3 points fully deserved though, Blackpool had nothing in terms of chances.

But it doesn't matter - like I just said. It's the gap between us and 2nd that we need to close and overtake.

LOL. Can't really comment when you weren't there IR.

[RobRoyal]

3 games without scoring, one of which we played an hour with 10 men? I think you're being a might harsh.

And you?

To RL of course I agree - simply interested in the dominance of the division by us, Brum and Wolves.
