Nice to see Oxford have lost again.

Mark_GT · Mar 23, 2021

Oxford lose - they're gone.

So proud tonight

doolan_legend · Mar 23, 2021

What a shift from the boys. On to Saturday!

BlackpoolsFinest · Mar 23, 2021

If this is the standard of opposition capable of being within 1 win of sitting level on points at the top of the table, we have absolutely nothing to fear for the rest of the season.

Yet another performance, again despite being decimated by injuries, that every single one of us should be immensely proud of.

Get behind these lads.

Sooty59 · Mar 23, 2021

An excellent performance from what we think is a patched up team. But some of these players coming back from injury are going to have to wait for their chance.

dodgy_surname · Mar 23, 2021

Charlton, Pompey , gillingham, Ipswich all fall down

Someone having a right go at the ref

poolfc · Mar 23, 2021

Phenomenal work rate that second half to stop Peterborough getting a foothold. Just wanted it more from the whistle. The deflection for the third goal shows that the harder you work the luckier you get.

Just hope that wasn't ANOTHER injury to Embleton. They all looked knackered by the end, apart from Jerry Yates.

Fantastic stuff

62years&counting · Mar 23, 2021

A magnificent performance and result, even better than at Oxford. Well done Critchley, Calderwood and Players.

TangerinePeel · Mar 23, 2021

I'm just staring at the League Table..

** hell.

Scaramanga · Mar 23, 2021

Excellent team performance, well done NC once again.

Newholland · Mar 23, 2021

Massive Win.... no herts not them

voyeur · Mar 23, 2021

Well played everybody.

Special mention for Turton, showing his usefulness again. Great attitude and temperament, and versatility.

Ormergod · Mar 23, 2021

great win tonight. Every player played their part,hard to single out just one stand out performer.

Pool failed to make the most of being on top. One goalscorer simply isn't enough.

Excellent result. Well done Blackpool. Absolutely brilliant. We made Peterborough look ordinary.

Yeah but with games coming fast thought he'd change it with 10 mins left. Didn't matter in the end, just can't afford any more injuries from fatigue.

With who we had on the bench the only sub I would have made was the one he did. Great win.

tangysider · Mar 23, 2021

What happened
No AVFTT Melfdown

Hevster · Mar 23, 2021

Quality performance. Great to see Ward play such a commanding role, and once again the defence very solid even with another change in line up. Things look like they are clicking just at the right time.

Guaranteed to hear "worst we've played all season" from every team we make look ordinary in the run in.

Good win that.

COME ON BLACKPOOL!

dodgy_surname · Mar 23, 2021

In Critchley I trust

Come on the Pool! said:
Yesssssss!!!!!

TangerinePeel said:
What a statement that is.

Just for reference we've beat 2nd in the league with our 4th choice centre back and a right back as our centre half partnership. Missing Ekpiteta, Hamilton, Virtue, Madine, Ballard, Stewart, Anderson.. UNBELIEVABLE.

Absolutely incredible .
Fully deserved .
Fantastic.

Well done Clappers. It's taken you a few games to catch on to Blackpool's Mr very steady Maybe you could have a word with Kurt

Nice dig, my issue is we have a better right back on the bench. And it always has been.

rememberlesshannon · Mar 23, 2021

Looked like some very tired legs out there towards the end, need some injured players back to give everyone a lift.
Two centre backs Thorniley and Turton immense and i'll say again Ward is by far our most under rated player.

RossendaleSeasider · Mar 23, 2021

Seasider3610 said:
Eh? there must have been 20 back passes in the last 25 minutes. 10 balls passed to their players and one thrown in in their half thrown back almost to goalkeeper! WTF

Oh and half a dozen long balls to nowhere

We are better just going forward passing on the deck

You must be blind if you didn't think we played well in the first half.

Superb win. I was confident at every stage tonight that we'd win.

P.S. I also called a 3-1 win on page 2 of this thread

Where though? Is he better than Ballard or Ekpiteta? No. Is he better than Gabriel? No.

TangerinePeel · Mar 23, 2021

These lads

Gutted they aren't getting the reception they'd have just got walking off Bloomfield Road right now..

Can't wait for Ferguson's comments. Best team lost and referee was was a waste of time.

Bloody crackin' birthday present, 71 today and beat second-place posh and into the playoff spot, magic.

Gretarson was there and is apparently fit, Antwi could have done 10 mins surely.

Given a couple of the lads a rest given Sat Tues games and a depleted squad.

Anyway, didn't matter but, just really don't want anymore injuries now.

TangerineBayern · Mar 23, 2021

Critchley should be sacked and Kaikai never play for us again, oh wait a minute that was the first half last week against Burton!!

madatta · Mar 23, 2021

The Seasiders the tide has turned

Blackpool_Gaz · Mar 23, 2021

SeasideKurt said:
We have Anderson, Ballard, CJ, Stewart, Virtue, Madine and Ekpiteta all out injured. Mental.

Because Critch can't tinker look what happens when we have a settled team. The so called "better players" should not automatically be brought back into the team until the players who are playing now have a drop in performance. If it ain't broke...

Tangerinemoss · Mar 23, 2021

Bet Ferguson stillwhinging at the ref

Great all round performance, not surprising we end up with injuries, these boys run and run and run. Mitchell a revelation up front, Kaikai up front will will help defence out. Jerry what can you say, like he Duracell bunny. And version 39 of the CBs worked

Ruperthoop · Mar 23, 2021

"Fergusons about to combust"-well said Ben

Levi501 · Mar 23, 2021

Another great team performance tonight and good to watch, for the small handful of premature ejaculators on here it’s staying power that counts!!!! UTMP

Gabriel is a more gifted footballer, no doubt. Technically better, too. But Turton does give you that rigidity that Gabriel doesn't, and while not a world beater is useful for us when we want to play it safe and defend flat and has been putting in solid performances as of late. He's part of the reason we've conceded so few goals recently.

Trouble has been balancing that with attacking football but we're getting that right, finally. IMO good to have both options with Turton/Gabriel.
