54' - Jake Beesley is in on the act! Great play from Sonny Carey to drive forward into the box and square it to Beesley. This moments after Doug Tharme smacked the crossbar with a header

 

[Tangerinemoss]

Lavery must be leaping like a salmon…

That's what he was doing when I saw him a few weeks ago near the Spey, then Learning from the experts

 

[tangysider]

Interested to hear how Casey and Tharme get on this afternoon.

Think Tharme hit the bar with a header
Both are probably ok in L1, even though 3 up would like another striker

 

[Graves]

I feel that for Lavery and Beesley it’s a great opportunity to earn their place and show us what they can do in this League.

Is Brad Holmes not at Barrow?

[Always tangerine]

When being questioned on TTV and asked about injuries Critc said come through the Wolves games well and shied away from talking about injuries .

Without Matt Scrafton or a replacement we are not picking up info on injuries etc

 

[tangerine.com]

Don't get giddy. They have to come up against the likes of Oxford soon.

Holmes played last night v Clitheroe.

Played at Clitheroe for acadamy

 

[Insider]

Holmes played last night v Clitheroe.

..and scored 2 goals.

UTMP

He played for the development squad at Clitheroe, which from what we've seen thus far is the best level for him ATM, he's miles away from the first team imo

 

[Henshman]

Holmes played last night v Clitheroe.

Thanks for that.
UTMP

 

[tangible]

Holmes played last night v Clitheroe.

Scored two. One with his chest from 18yards!!

 

[Marton Monorail]

Ooooohhh scary

 

[Insider]

I'm not sure how much you've seen of Holmes?
What he has is a knack of scoring goals. Not a bad attribute for a striker.
His weakness is a lack of confidence.

 

[Tangerine Pip]

Carey

 

[Insider]

Sonny Carey makes it 4.

 

[tangible]

4-0

 

[rease4]

Carey!

He has the attribute of scoring goals against young (Development squad level) opposition.

Whenever he's played men's football he's struggled, his record shows that.

It's a massive year for him, imo he needs a really decent loan in either L2 or the Conference National and if he doesn't get it, i don't see him getting another contract.

People seem to be soft on him because of the Blackpool lad thing, but the fact remains he needs to make a move in mens football if he's gonna get another deal.

 

[I bleed Tangerine]

Beesley with a goal and assist. I'd really like to see what he's made of in the first team, his injury means we've not got a really good look at him so far. Hopefully he can push on this season.

 

[Insider]

Penalty to Blackpool which Beesley misses.

But how many times have you seen him play? I'm not disagreeing with you entirely and neither would it appear is Critch. I just think a goalscorer with an ability to score goals is worth keeping in a squad which isn't full of strikers and he doesn't affect the numbers.

Good job. We don't want to be 'getting giddy'.

Yeah fair points, I've not seen loads tbf, I hope I'm wrong obviously, asni said it's a huge year for him

 

[Hazi]

Sonny Carey makes it 4.

Think this season will be the making of Sonny

 

[Insider]

Casey makes 5 with the last kick of the match.
0-5

 

[rease4]

Pre season but happy days.

 

[tangible]

Barrow 'humbled'. Said the radio commentator. After all, they did beat the mighty nobbers!

 

[Gerry Ingrams Blonde Hair]

Was it Sonny Casey or Ollie Carey whi scored fifth?!

 

[rease4]

Carey got the fifth.

 

[tangerine.com]

Role on Morecambe.

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

Not bad. Should have been 6 with the pen but at least we are improving.

 

[tangible]

The Cumbria commentator said Sonny Casey. Confused me too.

 

[tangible]

Careful. Bordering on giddiness that is.

 

[rease4]

Apart from the blip at the end thought radio Cumbria a whole class above a certain Lancs commentator.

A mildly confused minor bird is generally a better option than the aforementioned radio lancs commentator.

Just read on Twitter that Joseph has a tight hamstring, that's why he isn't playing right now. Obviously not wanting to risk that which is the right thing to do.

Surely not a hamstring? When have you ever heard of a Blackpool player picking up a hamstring injury?!!

 

[Stranny1870]

Bloody ell !!!

 

[hertfordseasider]

Yeah, we really missed him, only 5 goals and a missed pen, Critchley out!

It was Barrow ffs

He needs a year on the sidelines and a 5 year contract extension

 

[fcblackpool]

It could have been Barcelona and it wouldn’t have mattered.

 

[hertfordseasider]

It was Barrow ffs

I know, it's just a friendly but a good run out and a confidence boosting win, Joseph is injured so they won't risk him until he is fully fit, but it gave others a chance.

 

[tangible]

It was Barrow ffs

That's exactly what the nobbers were saying! Uncanny.

 

[Hockaday’s Quiff]

It was Barrow ffs

The very same team that made Appleton look utterly shambolic last year.

Tight hamstring

 

[tommytwojags]

Got to say I'm not inspired with build up to new season selection wise and tactics,l know it's only pre season but first game only 2 weeks ahead I believe we should be seeing something close to a first team starting eleven

It puzzles me every season. If you're not playing the first team together pre-season how can you expect them to hit the ground running when the season starts?
