Blackpool v Swansea Official Matchday Thread 13.08.22

[18YearFreeTrial]

Wasting every chance in the final third

 

[boabthebetter]

We've gone back 3 years or more in the space of a couple of months. I wonder why? This is garbage! There's gonna be a lot more empty seats soon.

 

[voyeur]

We're standing off them and not pressing at all, letting them knock the ball about at will. Thommo saying that is Appleton's tactics, not sure why. it seems a strange tactic.

Marv is having a bit of a poor start to the season, he can't pass it to a team mate. We could do with Thommo in a coaching role.

Not sure you can press Swansea for 90 minutes in this heat.

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

Shambles this…

 

[damLeo]

And Barlaser assissted twice

 

[Seaside Aggro]

We need a proper experienced leader in the midfield to knit the team together.

 

[hertfordseasider]

Good play from Fiorini and Carey

 

[AngelBFC]

The stats so far for us are not good

 

[Vince McLean]

We may go on to win the game, who knows - but so disappointing that they always dominate possession. They pass it like Barcelona, we pass it like Barnstoneworth Utd.

 

[Leyland bfc]

Passing is embarrassing shite

 

[hertfordseasider]

The stats so far for us are not good

Swansea are always going to have a massive amount of possession compared to who they are playing. I think the longer the game goes on the better we will be.

 

[Atletico_Seasider]

Conolly can't seem to put a foot right today

 

[CAGU]

Why do we let them bring it into our half without any pressing. When we try to pass it out of defence they are all over us and we give it away!

 

[hertfordseasider]

Conolly can't seem to put a foot right today

He's struggling, maybe get Gabriel on.

 

[Jaffacakes]

Lets face it, nobody was expecting high octane football from appleton.

 

[Tanger]

Gabriel on second half, Connolly in the middle with Patino.

 

[hills98]

He's struggling, maybe get Gabriel on.

I’m actually abroad and no option to watch, I don’t understand the rules with TTV either! Doesn’t sound like I’m missing much.

 

[bleed_the_freak]

Lucky not to be 3 down

 

[Tanger]

One way traffic. Standing off them is a big risk.

 

[Halifax71]

Only one positive so far, the nil against.

 

[Wizzerboy]

Not that bad I can see improvement

You're obviously watching a different game to me.
Fiorini, Carey and Dougall have hardly put 3 passes together.
It wasn't this shite for the last 2 seasons so where exactly is the improvement?
We are in rapid reverse

 

[Vince McLean]

There were lots of IPTV issues earlier - most fixed now it seems.

 

[Old_Laytonian]

Shambles this…

Shambles v Mumbles

 

[FY16JJ]

66% Swansea

 

[briar]

Colby scores again,find a word worse than pathetic and that's us

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

Ask Voyeur, he has all the answers…

 

[BlackpoolsFinest]

This isn't sort of any cohesive performance by us; it's just pissing about with the ball aimlessly until we give it away, then allow Swansea to carve out another attempt at goal, fortunately with no success so far.

 

[Atletico_Seasider]

Patino on at HT, we win 2-1

 

[voyeur]

Ask Voyeur, he has all the answers…

What? I said the opposite.

bad mood?

 

[18YearFreeTrial]

This is awful

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

What? I said the opposite.

bad mood?

Not the best watching this performance!

 

[Vince McLean]

Jezzer working his socks off.
Midfield missing in action - nobody showing for the ball.

 

[voyeur]

Not the best watching this performance!

Brazilian strop. Are you Neymar?

 

[kuriousoranj]

If we can get to half time level I actually fancy us in the second. 2-0

 

[hertfordseasider]

I'm more and more convinced that the players are not a happy bunch, they don't seem to be taking to the Appleton way, I thought Quitchley was boring but the squad were close knit and invested in what they were doing, I think they look like they just want to tell Appleton to fuck off. Madine nowhere to be seen. Is he injured or has he been dropped? Keogh leaving, he was a massive influence in the dressing room.

I think we'll know by 8 to 10 games. It will either work or we'll be looking for a new manager. Somethings not right.

 

[Halifax71]

That was a goal saver by Marv.

 

[voyeur]

Goal for Simms.

 

[Jaffacakes]

Its a good job swansea are shit at finishing

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

We could doo with 180 players on the pitch, we may get some possession then.

 

[Tanger]

Great tackle from Ekpiteta

 

[Wizzerboy]

Patino on at HT, we win 2-1

He's not ** superman

 

[Bamber]

Patino could make a real difference in the second half if we can keep it tight at the back.

 

[doolan_legend]

Sitting ducks. Swansea 2/1 in play. What a price

Appo doesn't connect with people. It's a disconnect thing i think.

But not the turgid critchball you were s happy to see the back of....

 

[boabthebetter]

Goal for Simms.

So effing what? Move on.

 

[Yarmouth Seasider]

Something has to change or there's only one way that this is going to finish.

 

[hertfordseasider]

That was absolutely awful. We have gone backwards when it should have been an opportunity to improve.

That was as bad a half of football as I can remember.

 

[Eventhepenguins]

Very very lucky to be going in at 0:0.
Could easy be 2 or 3 down and the game out of sight.
Few tweaks at half time and go and pinch this second half please Pool

 

[tangerinespud]

If the tactic was to not close down, conserve energy & invite them onto us then it’s working ….

 

[Vince McLean]

Yeah

Yeah ... you might be right - the players are a bit tetchy with each other too. Doesn't look like a happy ship. Maybe it's early days.
