Blackpool v Gillingham Official Matchday Thread 05.04.21

[Greggy Lane Lasher]

I hope someone is giving Embleton dogs abuse!

 

[Matesrates]

Yes we need a forth and a fifth

 

[Alf]

Whatever happens, I f*ing love this team

 

[glasshalffull]

Brilliant save Maxwell. Need to hang onto this until half time now.

The forth of firth is miles away!

 

[hertfordseasider]

That was a world class save, as good as a goal.

Wish Thorniley would stop thinking he's Glenn Hoddle every time he gets the ball. Nearly all of these long balls intercepted.

Hopefully he gets a hat trick.

 

[rease4]

Living dangerously at times, could do with another.

 

[Tangerinemoss]

That Gills mgr is a fat Baxter isn’t he?

 

[hertfordseasider]

Wish Thorniley would stop thinking he's Glenn Hoddle every time he gets the ball. Nearly all of these long balls intercepted.

To be fair he has been quite successful this season with them, wind isn't helping today.

And that was a promotion season

 

[OhSitDown]

Who are those in the North and on the balcony? Seem to be increasing in numbers every week!

 

[hertfordseasider]

Dougall playing well today and Ward is everywhere.

 

[Macseasider]

Gonna have to go for a lie down at half time!

 

[Tangerinemoss]

Jerry just does not give up. Turning into a complete player

 

[Wizaard]

Going forward we're playing some great stuff

 

[onlyonepool]

Kai Kai has oozed class this half.

 

[hertfordseasider]

Quick rubdown with Whippet breeders weekly, you'll be reet!

 

[Bennys_was_a_mob]

Ward has been superb this half

 

[tangysider]

That Sullay Kaikai is absolutely fcuking brilliant.

It was his twin brother

 

[Yarmouth Seasider]

 

[Ormergod]

Thoroughly enjoyed that half of football.Gillingham have played their part aswell

 

[glasshalffull]

Great half, but this clearly isn’t over yet.

 

[tangerinenotorange]

Ballard won't have seen anything like that at Arsenal. Good learning curve for him.

 

[TOON Seasider]

Half time
PHEW I'm exhausted off for another beer out of the fridge

 

[hertfordseasider]

Most exciting half of football I have seen this season.

 

[Levi501]

Er, I need a drink!

 

[Alf]

Hopefully some of those draws stay the same around the other grounds as well

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Good, calm game management for most of that half. Thornily, apart from their goal, had been sound. Everyone else - bril.
No half-time changes for me.

 

[Mark_GT]

They're rough as fuck but they create chances.

 

[Curryman]

What a great game, so far, I just hope Blackpool continues in the same vein in the second half.

 

[Scaramanga]

Something tells me there’s more goals to come in this game. Puts my 0-0 prediction to bed

 

[rease4]

Superb first half, more of same second half please.

 

[tangerinenotorange]

You have to earn your money against this lot. It's like the charge of the light brigade when they attack.

 

[AngelBFC]

Dirty barstewards

 

[Hazi]

The forth of firth is miles away!

East Fife 5 Forfar so far 4

 

[Davepick]

Hasn't been a bad Pool player so far.
Excellent all round. Keep it up Pool.

 

[TangerinePeel]

First game for me where we've looked absolutely full of confidence, like a proper promotion chasing team. Some of the passing was superb at times, knocking it about between players - amazing stuff!

 

[Fatboy]

Well that’s the best 45 minutes I’ve seen this season, same again second half please Blackpool .

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Great half but you can see more goals coming yet.

 

[Sooty59]

Normally you’d think the game was almost in the bag at 3-1 but I’ll breathe easier if we can either have a barren 45 minutes in the second half or score a couple more. Truly this could end up 5-4. Really edge of the seat stuff.

 

[tangerinenotorange]

We are way better than we were five or six weeks ago. Looks like Critch has finally got them playing his style of football.

 

[BWseasider]

Great first half, definitely one of our best attacking performances this season. Hopefully we can keep it up and tighten up at the back a bit. Could really do with another goal to really kill this off as I can see Gillingham getting two in the second half. Though the wind might be in our favour? Couldnt' really tell which way it was blowing, seemed to be going one way at one point then the other later on!

Also very happy with that Kaikai goal! Was great teamwork to set it up and a cracking finish from him should do his confidence some good!

 

[AngelBFC]

We are clearly as good as anyone in this division . Our chances of promotion are looking very good if they can keep this up.

 

[20togo]

got 3-1 so it's about cashing out before another goal.

 

[the_dog]

I hope someone is giving Embleton dogs abuse!

Very supportive that

 

[Seasideboris]

Not another 3-3 on the cards.

 

[Kip]

Against the wind second half so will need a very high line. The game's nowhere near done yet and we may need another. We should be able to use the space behind them though as the ball hangs up. I hope he doesn't take Simms off as he's playing well and we need as much physical presence as possible. Wouldn't be surprised to see Ekpiteta in the last 20 if we're hanging on.
