Blackpool had the balance of play, they should have had a pen, but we’ve had the better chances. Could go either way this. Their number 15 has acres of space and has whipped in a few half decent crosses.
Wootton our best player so far. Nobody’s had a particularly bad game although Pye’s struggled under pressure a couple of times (while also clearing and tackling well at others) and Mingi’s mind seemed to wander a couple of times - while again contributing well defensively.

HT. Very marginal game. Both sides lacked that finishing touch or ball or nod from the ref… End to end at times and quite high tempo with catching the opposition high the best source of chances.
Camps our best player so far for me. Bate has also done well playing out. Need to see more from Collar, he’s been a little crowded out for me when we have the ball.
Diamond lively and has done his defensive work at RWB too. Mingi and Pye haven’t had great games for me and their attack has caused problems. Definitely a step up from Cambridge.
Just got to hope for that bit of quality or Fevrier and Tanto vs tiring legs make the difference.

That should have been a Blackpool pen. Blatant. We need to wake up here. For me it was either a foul on Pye to get ahead or one for them as Pye’s challenge looked suspect. Pye’s pulled him back. Everyone around me in agreement it should have been a pen.

Blackpool not upto much we look far more vulnerable trying to play out than going back to front we keep trying to play out but not very good at it, when we have pace and ball carriers up top winning 2nd ball and transitions have been far more successful for us in giving space for Barry and Diamond trying to be too intricate

Looked to me that Pye got a tug first so fell behind but I didn’t have a great view and it wasn’t comfortable watching regardless. Too casual.

Dunno who said they’re Rusk like but to me they’re the opposite. Big snide cloggers Me on reading their board which said it was slow, safe possession in 3-5-2. Made changes though and great home record. Tight game so far. Half chances only for both sides. I’d say they have edged it but it’s who is clinical. Collar seemed to stop when Wootton slid him in. Need more from him. Another sight of goal for Barry but again can’t get the shot off. Reading their boards analysis of our game suggests to me they’re not the brightest fans tbf!

Would be interested to see it back. If he has had a hold of Pye first then really we should have had a free kick rather than nothing going either way.

Blackpool not upto much we look far more vulnerable trying to play out than going back to front we keep trying to play out but not very good at it, when we have pace and ball carriers up top winning 2nd ball and transitions have been far more successful for us in giving space for Barry and Diamond trying to be too intricate It's a famous old ground though.

Offside finally given when they score from a tidy finish after a bit of pinball. We’re creaking though. Bate doesn’t have any presence into of the back 4

Invited them on then just going long. Don’t have the ball carriers deep. Should be using Wootton more and keep ming the likes of Diamond and Collar around him rather than coming short.

Collar going Mullet fishing off the North pier after the match. From the Free Trade Hall to Blackpool pier. I had high hopes for Mullet Fishing

Argh. Good chance . Camps wins it in midfield and we’re breaking. Their defence dropping off as Barry and Wootton run the channels ahead. It opens up and Camps goes for the curler but sends it over. Barry was screaming for it but it was there to be hit.
