MATCHWATCH : Blackpool (h)

[Brogue]

If Swift was fit we would have been promoted last season, perhaps automatically. I thought that during the 2nd half against Bournemouth last season, and i see nothing that convinces me otherwise this season.

I personally think this team is better for the replacements we have made, having removed Olise and Richards. Olise's attitude stunk. Richards was criusing from January, and while Joao had a wonder run of form, his stroppiness cost us points galore towards the back end.

Drinkwater is a huuuuge improvement on Semedo, Dann is a significant improvement on whoever he will come to replace once all are fit.

If it wasn't for the points deduction i would be getting very excited.

And yes, my knees are jerking uncontrollably while looking at the in play league table.

Certainly seems to be more of a togetherness and better balance to this side. The new signings have hit the ground running which has been a huge plus. Our midfield going forward has looked delicious at times and tonight the passing and movement is wonderful at times. Everyone seems to be chipping in.

I'll happily watch any players whose attitude stinks if they score 7 goals with 12 assists, or 19 goals with 7 assists.

This olise?

Ady saying the game might be called off with a flooded pitch if this rain continues. Can anyone there confirm how is the pitch holding up?

Absolutely fine. Ady looking for the reaction as usual.

Are you there tho

Damn. That’s cold.

[Ascotexgunner]

Kinell George...you won't get a better chance than that.

This olise?

He was too good for the Championship. Shrug.

Had to bury that

Was willing it!

Don't need to be.


Puscas unlucky not to score... good save to stop him when put through.

[Ascotexgunner]

FIGHT

[Snowflake Royal]

Bit worried by that for a sec, but blatant dive.

Shock horror....Keogh acts as a peacemaker.

Think he's expect to score that 9 times out of 10

[Snowflake Royal]

Drinkwater is a really weird mix of a total cut above and full of little stupid mistakes and lazy passes.

Although do struggle a bit telling him and Swift apart at times.

Still should be scoring imho but on the run he is, not surprising.

[bcubed]

Would like to see replays of those two yellows for diving

I think I'll always give the striker and keeper the benefit of the doubt on those where it's what looks like an outstretched hand that makes the save.

I've seen em.

First one absolutely nailed on. Second one mildly less so.

[Ascotexgunner]

Second one looked more of a pen. Couldn't see the first. Ref was convinced it was a dive.

[Jagermesiter1871]

Haven't we just had 2 blatant pens against us given as dives

[Snowflake Royal]

Haven't we just had 2 blatant pens against us given as dives

No. Not remotely pens.

[NathStPaul]

Well this season is going well.
