Blackpool v Bristol City Official Matchday Thread 05.02.21

[glasshalffull]

Memories of 1978 are nearly banished now. 3 points at Cov and I'll stop looking down the table

I’ve stopped looking down now I think. Those memories are strong though .

 

[Micky Walsh]

Brilliant Blackpool!

“You’ve only come to see the Bowler, come to see the Bowler ! “

 

[seasidelytham]

He's been outstanding but CJ has been on fire!

CJ in this form is like having a new £2m signing ……happy days

Outstanding did you say?

 

[Sooty59]

Good game we enjoyed it I thought we’d badly miss Anderson, but playing our 2 wingers is paying dividends. CJ back to form too.

 

[18YearFreeTrial]

Their forum is a little funny. A few of them saying they have a better squad than us yet we have taken 4 points off them and are 6 points ahead with a game in hand In the league. Work that one out

 

[hertfordseasider]

Same as Gaz goals was outstanding!!

Blissful ignorance.

Their players seem talented, but can't kick their way out of a paper bag where it counts - shame

Pearson will say they were robbed today no doubt!

 

[Lytham_fy8]

I bloody love Critch.

 

[Lytham_fy8]

Madine gets a tap in anyone would score and deluded people creaming themselves .What about the 3 times in a row we just got in great positions to score and the carthorse mucked them all up .Is that why Ihe just feigned a injury

What are you on about a tap in? Two defenders around him, beat them both in the air and had to get power on it.

** tap in, fuck off.

 

[tangysider]

Deserved lead, been impressed with Thorniley in defence too.

I'd love to see Robbo get half an hour in place of Connolly. Dougall having a really good game.

Connolly doing well, you never know we might make a midfielder out of him yet.

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Connolly doing well, you never know we might make a midfielder out of him yet.

Connolly cleared up when things got a bit rough. I rate him.

 

[Albert Ross]

Why does Dougal keep passing the ball to the opposition?

Because, according to some, he’s had a great game.

 

[voyeur]

Same as Gaz goals was outstanding!!

I've acknowledged Gaz's improvement.

 

[BigHandsOliverKahn]

Bristol City recently announced a loss of £38.4 Million in the last financial year. It takes some effort to spend that much and still end up with a mediocre team.

 

[Micky Walsh]

Thought everyone played well, also got a bit off legs into the new players, very solid performance, key players drop out but we don't drop off.

Yep, worst team that's come here since PKE.

 

[tangerine_neil]

There’s no doubt that Bristol City have a few very talented players (paid a fortune for them as well).
We played better as a team and they had no game changers like CJ & Bowler. Bought on the cheap and on a free. Lovely stuff

 

[Brazil]

My brother, who was there, says Dougal was immense. Utmp!

 

[Brazil]

Critch knows what he's doing.

He was, but so were the rest of them , it was a fantastic team performance!

Critch had Pearson's number from the start. Just pressed them and never let them settle.

Doubtless a ** tax scam - Hargreaves Landsdown bank-rolling those losers.

He was, his fantastic cross fell ball made the third goal, God knows what people watch

Dale injured again, what a waste of money.

Injured or not, he was still a waste of money. Why would you take a car for a test drive, find out it runs like a three legged donkey and still buy it.

He looked good to me when he ran off his knock.

They’ve been doing it for years. They think they’re a massive club - no chance!

If Critch believes in him, maybe we should. He has had very little game time, certainly not enough to write him off.

 

[SomersetSeasider]

Great performance by the Pool today, totally outclassed Bristol City.

 

[Albert Ross]

During his loan period he had one good cameo when he scored. The rest of his appearances he was dire, didn’t show enough to warrant investment.

The belief the players have is now there to see. Up a few notches since we started in this division in double quick time really.

 

[tangerine_neil]

Looks like going out of the Cup was fortuitous and Hartlepool lost 2-0 at Palace.

 

[aylesby]

I trust in Critch and Sandler too.

Same response as the PKE fans. On paper this may be true, probably more experience and proven at this level compared to most of our players... Shows what a great coach can achieve (and how a poor coach can take players backwards)

 

[Cuthbert]

Credit to their fans for their humour in chants. Met a few in the car park, decent lads. Their team was shocking, worst this season at Bloomfield Road by a country mile

 

[Graves]

Sky sports doesn’t like us exiles much, so here are the goals

I look forward to seeing this post quoted when Dale is settled, has actually played a few games and showstgecsort of quality that he showed against Reading

I will wait, but not with bated breath.

I'm happy to give him time. However, that quality is not in abundance with some of our supporters. They wanted rid of CJ a month ago and not long before that they didn't rate Bowler.

Not me, Bowler we knew wasn’t the finished article or we wouldn’t have got him, the talent was obviously there it needed bringing out, which it is now. Although there’s still work to be done, if he keeps improving he will be one hell of a player. Hamilton I was prepared to give the benefit of the doubt due to his performance last season. He had a good game today, but I think he’s a confidence player and I don’t think he got his full confidence back yet. Dale as I said earlier, on his debut had a good 30 minutes and scored a good goal and I thought we might have something here, unfortunately he flattered to deceive. On his subsequent appearances he was a passenger who didn’t look interested. Critchley keeps saying a good attitude is important, he didn’t show such a good attitude when he went back to Crewe and threw his toys out of the pram. So sorry not for me, but I am always willing to be proved wrong and with a 3 year contract I hope I am.
