Blackpool v Watford Official Matchday Thread 08.10.22

Watford got what they deserved there.For Jerry’s first their fullback has basically jogged at snail pace and allowed Hamilton to have a free cross without pressure.Hamilton took that with both hands and Jerry got a very good contact with it.Not an easy finish that at all.

Yates second.If you do your homework on Yates before the game you would know whenever he gets into those positions and he’s running at you with the ball he is going to twist and turn you and get an early shot off so you wouldn’t commit fully one side if you knew that.
 
Slightly off topic, but I've just scrolled through the entire thread and it's very noticeable how the negative posters (critical of players across the pitch and never constructive) disappeared in the second half when we were the better side.

Just saying.

Looked more secure with Bridcutt there. Think he might be just what we've needed.

Sounded like he could only do 45 mins so Appleton had to pick one and chose right. Hopefully come through it the same as everyone else, and it isn't a long lay off for Madine with whatever stopped his game suddenly.

Wow, it doesn't get much better than that. Yates with shades of Owen Dale, Thorniley and Marv a brick wall, Connelly and Thompson excellent, Wright and Patino came into the game and took over the midfield and what about CJ Hamilton! 'kin ell, on cloud 9!

thorniley was epic, marv was at his thou shalt not pass best, connolly at right back might have had a better game than Gabriel has had there this season, up and down the flank, good crosses, beaten by pace a couple of times but quickly recovers, and consistently made his presence felt. Bridcutt took a while to get going but once he did was very good. Patino second half outstanding, Wright a quieter game i thought today but worked his arse off and played some controlled football when he could. Lavery through the middle gave their defence a different thing to think about, after Madine if it hadnt been for their keeper might have had a hat-trick. CJ when he does what hes good at is very good. he has pace and he has an accurate cross on him,
 
Fantastic three points. The subs changed the game so again Apps is showing once again how much better he is in terms of in game management than Quitchley. I've been a big critic of CJ but he did really well today. Having said that the defending from the Watford 27 was absolutely appalling. He basically gave up but well done to CJ for spotting it and providing a great cross for Jerry. All in all a massive three points and a lot to take out of the game. CJ needed that confidence boost and two of our strikers bagging three will hopefully now start to show more consistency in front of goal. And last but not least the north stand back in full voice...👏👏👏

i said at half time watford looked suspect at the back, which bothered me when we went very deep for a chunky period of the second half. The stadium sounded amazing again over ttv
 
Callum Wrights crosses on his right foot are another positive aswell.He’s probably the first player this season that’s able to put a deep cross into Madines areas.

It's very odd when people have an agenda against their own club, it was weird under Critchley and its weird under Appleton.

Get behind your ** club unless its Oyston level bad.
 
What a great result and some magnificent performances. Marv and Thorniley did nothing wrong at the back and Bridcutt sat on Louza who had been killing us. Gaz and Jerry enough said. Well done. Three huge points.
 
An amazing result players worked their socks off today thoroughly deserved let's hope this is the start of better things to come.

A confident Jerry Yates is something to behold, I don't think he'd have pulled off that 2nd goal so easily if he hadn't gotten the 1st. Hopefully he hits his stride now.

Yeah he's a confidence player. When he's confident he's a real problem for opposition defenders. Buzzing for him 🧡

So much better in the 2nd half. Showed them less respect and pushed them further back. Bridcutt made a massive difference. He man marked their danger man out of the game.

Well done Appleton 👍🏻
 
Maxwell 8 nobody saving that
Connolly 8 impacted both ends of Pitch
Marv 8 Big performance as per
Thorniley 9 best performance in tangerine
Thompson 7 grew into the game
Wright 7.5 covered miles of ground
Carey 6 Not quite coming off for him yet
Patino 8 a legend is born
Corbeanu 6.5 not quite at it
Yates 9.5 World Class all over pitch MOM
Madine 9 the Goal Machine at his best

Lavery 7 Added to the press
CJ 7.5 game changer of a run and cross
Bridcutt 7 a little rusty but solidified the midfield
 
One thing. The Chizzer persistently kept calling Lousa "loser" despite his sidekick's efforts to point him in the correct direction. Very distracting when a player is doing their best to rip your side to shreds. I am however assuming we played very well, but based on what I gleaned from the assorted epithets falling from the lips of the legendary "king of commentary", I haven't a clue really if that's true or not 😗
 
Missed the game as stuck in Barbados ... forgot to bring my IPTV stick. Great to read the posts - pleased for everyone especially Jezzer who's been looking sharp all season. And CJ contributed ... wow ... hopefully a turning point from here on in for the club. Gonna miss the next couple of games. It's only when you're away you value the longer posts describing the game.

Just got home, having to sort my mum's house out at the moment as she is living in a nursing home now and very poorly so missed the game. Absolutely over the moon and gutted I missed it.

I will watch it back when it is on the BFC website. Well done Pool and well done MA!

All the best Hertford, things must be tough at the moment, so I hope the result gave you a smile or two.

And yet, when one move didn't come off for Gaz in the second half a bloke behind me shouted "get him off he's shit."
Sometimes you've got to bite your tongue.

A couple of thoughts on their goal. Suprised Maxwell only had three in the wall for a free-kick on the edge of the box! Obviously he thought he could cover the ground in time. So, the responsibility falls on him for the goal in my view. I reckon Grimshaw would definitely have saved that and I cannot believe he is not starting at the moment. Maxwell does not inspire confidence in the defence. He is very slow off his line, is rubbish on crosses and his distribution is nowhere near as good as Grimshaw's. But what do I know....

I’m a huge Grimmy fan and he will be Blackpools No1 for as many years as he wants to, but at this moment we needed Maxwells experience and he has played top drawer so far. That free kick couldn’t of got any nearer to the top corner I don’t see anyone saving it

It was Bridcut shoring up the defensive midfield that allowed Patino to move upfield, where he was more effective.
