Let’s be honest, we created the best chance or 2 of the game, and had other spells when we controlled the game. However, for me they did dominate most of the game, had most half chances and towards the end I was willing the referee to bring an end to the game so we could walk away with a point. Sky report is maybe a bit harsh but not completely out of order.
No doubt I was relieved to get a point after soaking up phases of heavy pressure, but I disagree that they dominated.
It was a game with fantastic intensity which both teams equally contributed to. As you say, we had two great chances, and they had plenty of their own.
My main issue with the report is that it frames us as fortunate to come away with a point, and is clearly written with a condescending approach similar to what we have heard week after week from opposition fans; this ‘little old Blackpool’ narrative continues to be way off the mark, as we’ve shown more than enough that proves we can compete at this level.
I envy those who aren’t phased by it. I wasn’t at the start of the season because it was clear to see why there were assumptions made about us being relegation favourites and pushovers at this level.
However, those assumptions have been completely invalidated as we approach the half-way point of the season, yet team after team, pundit after pundit, supporter after supporter continue to underestimate us.
WBA played well on Tuesday and could’ve won, but I wouldn’t say they dominated.
However, based on the reaction of their supporters at the final whistle and this poorly written report you’d think we’d pulled off a miracle.
