Blackpool v West Brom Official Matchday Thread 19.07.25

[Hazi]

Imray going to be a crowd fave

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Rubbish

I’m pretty sure it was a joke.

 

[tangible]

W

We have been solid. Well structured. West Brom haven't had a shot other than their goal which was just a poorly marked corner and was a decent header. Keeper had no chance.

Honestly, looking good. Nothing silly. Keeping possession well

The 'keeping possession well' bit I like. Against championship opposition that's a big plus.

 

[Dr Hfuhruhurr]

How worryingly weak does that bench look.
Really hope Bloxham’s absence isn’t too serious or Horsfall,not great.

[HereLiesJeff]

Imray going to be a crowd fave

He's got to find his feet yet. Good turn of pace and getting in behind but not confident enough just yet to be taking on his man.

 

[voyeur]

And you'd think they know what they are talking about?

Cheer up!

 

[Chunkylad]

Where's Honeyman playing? In Carey, left role?

 

[Wizaard]

Isn't olay a bottle on a dressing table?

Used to be Ulay.

 

[Plumbs2]

Used to be Ulay.

Is there any need to rub it in?

 

[HereLiesJeff]

CJ just come off injured. Looks like a wrist/arm injury. Looked in a good amount of pain

 

[voyeur]

Used to be Ulay.

Not for a long time.

48'
CJ Hamilton is now recieiving treatment after a collision. (2-1)

Poor spelling there.

 

[Simonized]

Hamilton limps off with what looks an injured arm. Innocuous incident.

 

[Yarmouth Seasider]

Hamilton off with a shoulder injury replaced by Husband

 

[bill40]

Hamilton limps off with what looks an injured arm. Innocuous incident.

Why is he limping if it's his arm he's injured?

 

[voyeur]

Why is he limping if it's his arm he's injured?

It's CJ.

 

[Simonized]

Only CJ could limp off with a arm injury

 

[bill40]

It's CJ.

Good point well taken!!

 

[HereLiesJeff]

Where's Honeyman playing? In Carey, left role?

He is in more of a CAM role I would say. But him, Evans and Brown are interchangeable. Brown getting further forward more consistently than I thought he would

 

[hertfordseasider]

CJ just come off injured. Looks like a wrist/arm injury. Looked in a good amount of pain

This is why SB hates friendlies so much

 

[Old_Laytonian]

Cheer up!

We need at least six players

 

[voyeur]

Good point well taken!!

Only messing.

 

[voyeur]

We meet at least six players

Meet? Where?!

 

[hertfordseasider]

We meet at least six players

We really do

 

[HereLiesJeff]

Imray about to come off for Lyons. Looks like he isn't as fit as the rest of the squad at the moment

 

[Old_Laytonian]

Meet? Where?!

No glasses. Waiting outside M&S changing room with all the other sad blokes.

 

[Simonized]

59' Blackpool think they have a third. Good move down the right and an excellent cross is well headed in by Fletcher but the referee had just given a foul, I think for a push. A split-second before it was converted. Home faithful and boss Bruce unimpressed.

 

[voyeur]

1. 58'
   Fletcher scores with a bullet header but the referee rules it out for a push on a West Brom player. (2-1)

 

[Yarmouth Seasider]

Lyons on for Imray

 

[PETER SPRUCE 1]

Any idea what the gate is roughly?.

 

[Albert Ross]

Any idea what the gate is roughly?.

It’s a type of outdoor entrance/ exit.

 

[Halifax71]

Lyons on for Imray

Good to see Lyons getting pitch time.

 

[Brumseasider]

Very encouraging for the new season Bloomfield road be rocking if the signs are they playing like this

 

[Simonized]

Fletcher's header from the quickly-worked free-kick this time claimed by sub keeper Wildsmith

 

[Rover]

And you'd think they know what they are talking about?

So everyone's an idiot except you then

 

[PETER SPRUCE 1]

It’s a type of outdoor entrance/ exit.

Was that some kind of joke?(or are you still at school).

 

[1966_and_all_that]

It’s a type of outdoor entrance/ exit.

".....but that's not important right now."

 

[hertfordseasider]

Was that some kind of joke?(or are you still at school).

It was a joke Pete, Surley you could see that (Feeds 1966)

 

[S88bfc]

Was that some kind of joke?(or are you still at school).

Oh lighten up…it was kinda funny

 

[Albert Ross]

Was that some kind of joke?(or are you still at school).

Not at school, on holiday in our caravan, it’s raining, I’m bored. Just couldn’t resist.

 

[Simonized]

A really nice take and lofted finish by Grant over Ravizolli, but he's flagged offside from Furlong's pass. 74'

 

[Albert Ross]

".....but that's not important right now."

It is if you want to get out.

 

[voyeur]

Finnigan on for Brown, is Bruce thinking he's a useful squad player?

 

[hertfordseasider]

Finnigan on for Brown, is Bruce thinking he's a useful squad player?

I think Finnigan could play a part this season. Be good if has continued to improve, he's only 21

 

[voyeur]

69'
Save from Fran Ravizzoli to deny West Brom a second.

 

[TangerineArmy]

How's Ravizzoli doing as after watching his shakie debut last week I'm hoping it was a one off.

 

[Albert Ross]

I think Finnigan could play a part this season. Be good if has continued to improve, he's only 21

The couple of times I have seen him, I thought he had something about him. Just seemed a bit nervous.

 

[hertfordseasider]

The couple of times I have seen him, I thought he had something about him. Just seemed a bit nervous.

It would certainly mean we are well and truly sorted in central midfield.

 

[voyeur]

The couple of times I have seen him, I thought he had something about him. Just seemed a bit nervous.

His technique is good, he's tall, and he's young. Confidence would come from regular games.

 

[voyeur]

78'
A good block from Olly Casey again! (2-1)

 

[20togo]

69'
Save from Fran Ravizzoli to deny West Brom a second.

surprised they didn't change keeper at half time.
