Blackpool v Nottingham Forest Official Matchnight Thread 17.01.24

The commentator - we might embarass Nott'm Forest indeed.
I recall we hammered them 4-1 at their place in our Prem prom.
DJ embarrassed them that night - that's for sure.
 
Can't believe that miss at the end. It's like he didn't want to score. Fuming as getting late for my kid.

Great reaction once we scored. Prior to that we were awful but thankfully that will be forgotten about.

what on earth was Dembele doing after that fantastic run, made it such hard work for himself

On another note, Morgan and Joseph have been fantastic

Rabbit in the headlights moment…hit it quick and in instinct and it’s in 100%. Try and be clever and the chance is gone unless you round the keeper at full speed which is tough.
 
Who knows what will happen in the next 30 minutes but two things

1 Bristol Rovers will be more than happy

2 Some of our so called fans posting on here need to look back at their earlier posts

well done boys for that fight back and no what happens it should be appreciated but then I refer to my second point.
 
Great game
This is some effort - we have matched an EPL team over 180 minutes. And tonight we have been the better team over 90 minutes.

Bristol Rovers also in action tonight against tough opposition. Us playing 30 more minutes will be negligible.
 
Extra sub I think - think Dale will add something. Need to be careful of a second yellow for Husband or Morgan.

What's wrong with the earlier posts. We were shit.
 
Spirited comeback but always felt too good to be true to completely turn it around in normal time. And I'm not sure you get three bites at it against a prem team before they find a way. But just hoping we don't lose any more players for the weekend now in the rest of it as bodies tire and the yellow cards start. Need to start using the experience of what it actually feels like to recover a losing position in a game in future.

It's a football message board on a match night, I won't apologise for for reacting as I did when we were playing shit at the back and creating nothing, it's passion and emotion, same as I won't apologise if I am loving it since we scored, that's football. You must have no emotion at all!

The question remains as to why we persist with a game plan that concedes so many soft goals forcing players to play it around the back when they can’t do it, and which also means we don’t play football in any meaningful attacking way for a large part of games? It’s like we delight in getting in our own way.

Go on I'll bite.

2. That first hour was f**kin awful, no defending that.
Best to take the tangerine blinkers off from time to time 👍🏻

oh come on, it's how we play, it's how all teams play who play out from the back. Watch how many times the defensive midfielder gets the ball facing his goal and either switches it to the wing or goes back to the keeper. There was absolutely nothing wrong with Marv's pass as Morgan wasn't under any pressure. The ball was straight to him and Morgan simply underhit the back pass.

I’ll agree to disagree pal.
Yes we do play out from the back but there are times when the ball needs to go into row Z and initially Grimmy should have done that, especially as there were 4 of their players looming down on goal

yes agree to disagree but it's how we play and it didn't go into row Z. So for me the blame is solely down to Morgan.
