Blackpool v Bolton BSM Trophy Official Matchnight Thread 30.01.24

[briar]

Bolton looking good

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

Our best player did so so well there but alas OS

 

[Leither]

That was brilliant from Gabriel

 

[SeasideKurt]

We look second best. Norburn playing well.

 

[Stanah]

Lavery offering nothing!
Not holding it up, not quick enough, not physical enough, not good enough ball control

Needs to get sharper and fitter for me!

Needs to get sharper and fitter for me!

And grow six inches

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

That was better Carey

 

[Blackpool Are Back!]

The Bolton fans near the microphone don't like Blackpool do they!

 

[TangerinePeel]

How annoying is that Bolton fan in the away end?

Ian Evatt ** hates Blackpool according to him..

 

[ElBurroSinNombre]

Carey is much more involved in this game than I have seen previously

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Our defence are going to gift Bolton a goal here with all this loose passing backwards.

 

[Stanah]

Connolly is a liability

 

[tangerinesince88]

Connolly ffs.

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

Can only see one winner here, it’s men against boys

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

Our defence is a bit embarrassing.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

I wish the big gob Bolton fan would shut his trap next to the commentator how feckin annoying.

 

[Halifax71]

Can only see one winner here, it’s men against boys

Bit OTT - not much in it. Arguably we've had the best chance - would like to see the replay.

 

[tangerinespud]

Living on luck here

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Our defence is a bit embarrassing.

I can possibly believe you ATG.

 

[Macseasider]

Just haven't got enough quality personnel at the back. Every single time a team attacks us we are like the Key Stone cops.

 

[Blackpool Are Back!]

That was poor by O'Donell

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

That was poor by O'Donell

Whole team are poor. They are making us look like non-league.

 

[1966_and_all_that]

That was poor by O'Donell

I like O'Donnell but we sound to be under the cosh.

 

[Wizzerboy]

Can't hear us. How many Pool?

I'd say it's a 4500 gate so 2500 pool

 

[tangerinesince88]

You can see they’re good. Can’t help but feel a bit gutted we didn’t get Evatt when we had the chance

 

[South Shore Seasider]

This is beyond embarrassing

 

[HetzkeBlaster]

It’s a hard watch tonight with this first 11

 

[Victorsponge]

You can see they’re good. Can’t help but feel a bit gutted we didn’t get Evatt when we had the chance

When did we have the chance?

 

[Blackpoolmad]

Chissy said over 3000 Bolton there.
I thought that end holds 2200?
The prick usually under estimates our support, but can anyone confirm they have over 3000 here tonight?

 

[1966_and_all_that]

I'd say it's a 4500 gate so 2500 pool

Chizz saying 3,000+ Bolton

 

[South Shore Seasider]

Players need to wake up

 

[ElBurroSinNombre]

O'Donnell's distribution is poor compared to Grimshaw

 

[Graves]

Seems like we are saving our energy for the second half.

 

[ElBurroSinNombre]

This is beyond embarrassing

It's 0-0, we are in the game.
Not sure why it is embarrassing

 

[tangerinesince88]

When did we have the chance?

When we got Critchley first time round, or when we got Grayson.

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Bowyer making all sorts of sense here.

 

[SeasideKurt]

We do not have the footballers on the pitch or squad to be playing the football Critch wants.

 

[tangerinesince88]

Chizz saying 3,000+ Bolton

Think he’s talking shite as per

 

[bleed_the_freak]

Kamikaze defenders are determined to gift Bolton a goal..

 

[Wizzerboy]

I've said it all season but we are far too laboured in our approach. No movement. There's never an instant forward ball, always passing back to ODonnell (who's having a mare tonight btw)
And I don't give a shit how well we played at Pompy, 3 at the back just doesn't work

 

[tangerinespud]

Playing like strangers.
Team mates must know that O’Donell can’t kick for toffee with his right foot … so what do most of them do ? Pass back to his weaker foot

 

[briar]

Tip tapping about at the back again will cost us

 

[Victorsponge]

I think when we got Grayson he was at Barrow learning his trade, wasn't he at Bolton when we got Critchley first time round?

 

[South Shore Seasider]

It's 0-0, we are in the game.
Not sure why it is embarrassing

I was referring to the way our defenders and goalkeeper dwell on the ball and keep getting caught, not the score

 

[bollieboy]

Am I allowed to post on here without moaning like fuck ?

Asking for a friend.

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

Bit OTT - not much in it. Arguably we've had the best chance - would like to see the replay.

They have more presence all over the pitch, yes we’re still in it but need to step our intensity imo

 

[Always tangerine]

This 11 doesnt have much creativity or strike power . Dembele no one to play with. Dale would be good and played well in games in this competition I think. Felt Critchley didn't trust him after the Oxford game where he he made a mistake for the goal. But not a defender. Virtue looks limited here and we need a new centre back for next season.

 

[NewburyOne]

Poor so far and lucky to be level. Bolton bossing the game and we are constantly shooting ourselves in the foot by giving the ball away. They look quicker and stronger at the moment, we are just not at it at all.

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Listening to it Wizzer and Chizz said O'Donnell made two excellent saves when we were up against it.

 

[tangerinesince88]

I think when we got Grayson he was at Barrow learning his trade, wasn't he at Bolton when we got Critchley first time round?

No he went that summer. We had chances and even at the time a lot of fans were keen due to playing style and obviously previous connection. That’s not me doing Critchley down but Evatt has proved himself to be a fantastic manager with a tangible style and eye for players.
