Blackpool v Oxford Official Matchday Thread 10.02.24

[doolan_legend]

Huge opportunity to win and consolidate 8th position

 

[1966_and_all_that]

I'm sorry but watching this, at the start of the run in, I have to say that we don't look like a top team. We're not dominating the play. We take no good chances. We look occasionally threatening but it's not good for mid-February.

 

[Paul Gardner No2]

Oxford good side. Every time we play long it comes back. Wonder why? Average height upfront 5’7 Not fkin rocket science is it Critch!!!

No need to apologise, it’s a fair assessment.

 

[Wizzerboy]

Yes but you get booked for taking your shirt off to celebrate but stand 3m from away fans and take the piss and that’s fine

Doesn't make it right Doc.
And it's probably people making excuses out of the situation that makes the chuckers more inclined to do it.

 

[THEMISSINGLINK]

I see Charlies Cods are 1up at ht.

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

I know I've said it a 1000 times but this formation is absolute bollocks.

 

[briar]

Huge opportunity to win and consolidate 8th position

If only we had Oxfords players

 

[briar]

Well, not a bad game to watch tbh but ** hell we make it difficult for ourselves. I’m coming to the conclusion we have a bunch of panickers in the side.

Dembele not in the game, Joseph having a bit of a shocker and Lavery just a bit shit really isn’t he.

Surely we’ve gotta see Byers this second half, and I’d get CJ and KK on as well.

100%agree Norburn Coulson and Lavery off

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

I know I've said it a 1000 times but this formation is absolute bollocks.

Can’t say I’d noticed

 

[Mexboroseasider]

When do you go on your holidays and are we likely to get a break when you do?

Your relentless posts are like having bad toothache.

 

[South Stand '58]

I see Charlies Cods are 1up at ht.

But down to 10 men at HT

 

[1966_and_all_that]

I know I've said it a 1000 times but this formation is absolute bollocks.

I thought you weren't watching ATG.

 

[Halifax71]

Not confident. With 4 of the next 5 away need to find a way somehow.

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

I have to say I’m quite enjoying this Oxford coms, they’re pretty fair and it’s good to hear a less biased appraisal of ourselves. Decent half time analysis as well

That's how I feel about Critchley.

 

[Yarmouth Seasider]

Not one of the top six winning at half time, it all means bugger all though if we can't win

 

[Mcewans Mullet]

Miles offside

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

Miles offsideView attachment 18331

Doesn't look offside to me.

 

[agouti]

Big 2nd half needed. We need to get control of the game and the ball.

 

[Theoneandonly]

Maybe Critchley needs glasses? Long balls to short forward line leads to nothing. Has all season. Hope I’m wrong but this has same old, same old written all over it with them getting the points when we fade in the last quarter of the game.

 

[SwannDangerous]

Just noticed how ragged our pitch looks

 

[bleed_the_freak]

Oxford are setup well, play with confidence on the ball, and remind me of Bolton

If only we could find this composure we'd be right up there

Games not over yet

 

[Old_Laytonian]

We are just starting to look like a struggling team. This is another game towards that season over status.

My finger is hovering over the ignore button. And I've pressed it.

 

[Mexboroseasider]

My finger is hovering over the ignore button. B

Remind me where that is again.

 

[Always tangerine]

Ekpiteta and Husband are experienced defenders but we always seem to be caught out by poor marking for corners and crosses. Dont seem marshall the defense . Need to strengthen that area for next year . I lost belief for this season after last week's insipid attempt to hang onto a draw. Critchley is too cautious.

Don’t think they can read Wiz

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Just missed 5 minutes with buffering. The afternoon just gets better.

 

[Old_Laytonian]

Press on the name and you get options

Gutted. You block negativity (truth)

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

Got to do better there Dembele then Joseph

 

[tangysider]

How many bookings, for Hubbie now?

 

[CAGU]

I have to say I’m quite enjoying this Oxford coms, they’re pretty fair and it’s good to hear a less biased appraisal of ourselves. Decent half time analysis as well

Not for me I’m afraid, getting on my nerves. Home game and we have to listen to Oxford commentators!

 

[Vince McLean]

Lavery clinical in the box - reminds me a bit of Haarland.

 

[Roy Kent]

Press on the name and you get options

If only that we’re true for all of life

 

[Macseasider]

Same coaching manual Mac

Same personalities.

 

[585 = never give up]

The other results aren't too bad. This is a big half for us & the players need to step up to the plate.

It’s a refreshing change, each to their own I suppose.

 

[Mexboroseasider]

There’s a lot to be said for buffering

 

[Roy Kent]

Good save that

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

How did that not go in, great save tbf

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

Come on you Pool

 

[Matesrates]

Stevenage level

 

[SwannDangerous]

Loads of results going our way but we can't do the business ourselves

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Lavery - not good enough
Ekpiteta - not good enough
Husband - not good enough
Coulson - jury's out.
Morgan - not sure

But, improving in the last few mins.

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

We’re back in this now

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

Five more minutes and still 1-1 changes needed!

 

[Vince McLean]

Wish we had signed Brannagan.

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

** hell Norborn, are you wearing lead boots

 

[Dr Hfuhruhurr]

Five more minutes and still 1-1 changes needed!
