Brighton v Blackpool Official Matchday FA Cup Thread 23.01.21

[Tangerine Manc]

Stunning , but sorry I have to be negative, you give players space and time to shoot , that’s what happens

 

[Wizzerboy]

Cant say it wasn't coming

 

[20togo]

you don't stop those.

 

[King Billy]

Nothing we can do about that unfortunately. Just hope this doesn’t become a bit routine now as we just are not getting a sniff.

 

[hertfordseasider]

Not much you can do about that, what a cracker!

 

[Chunkylad]

Gutted

 

[Mark_GT]

Our midfield isn't really producing anything yet. Forwards very isolated at the moment.

 

[hertfordseasider]

Should open the game up a bit.

 

[tangerine.com]

We are too weak.
Not over yet though.

 

[TangerinePeel]

Prem players just need a moment on the ball sometimes and they'll do something like that, hopefully they relax now and we hoodwink 'em

 

[tommytwojags]

That goal and the one at Chorley highlight the difference between the Premier League and the rest. You just don't see them at League 1 level.

 

[1966_and_all_that]

We need to do the same. Instead of trying to contrive a five pass walk into the net - shoot! Chances for us will be at a premium, so shoot.

are you saying that was better than Yate's finish from six inches last week ?

 

[Matesrates]

Tactics seem to be to bang the ball to Madine to flick on to Yates, but they’re not close enough

 

[62years&counting]

Pool organised and working hard but the difference in ability as you would expect is huge.

 

[Bloodtangerine]

I think we’re doing pretty well all things considered

 

[poolseasider]

Have I lost my quid at 8/1 then?
Some strike it was his turn and change of direction which gave him the space to take the shot off no fault of any our team.

 

[Mark_GT]

Five at the back is leaving us short - look how their attack is set up, we're wasting men behind the ball.

 

[Greennutmegsmoore]

Thorniley done nothing wrong so far

 

[tangerine.com]

Would we have faired better on our own turf?

 

[tommytwojags]

Can't argue with the commentator. We play nice football, keep the ball well, are solid at the back and create chances but just don't put the chances away.

 

[Mark_GT]

That's a bit better getting Gabriel up there. I do hope we give it a go. Plenty of time yet.

 

[TANGERINETOWERPOWER]

Its the fact our midfield is so slow that is causing us problems...also acres of space for them down the right. We are huffing and puffing but not creating much.

 

[JJpool]

Haven't done anything going forward but don't deserve to be behind, they haven't created anything clear cut.

Typical they got a screamer.

 

[1966_and_all_that]

We're not covering their forwards anywhere near quickly enough. Also, passing across the back four achieves diddly squat.

 

[Matesrates]

Giving them too much space

 

[Wizzerboy]

FFS I've seen Pool pass the ball backwards and sideways more in the last 37 minutes than Ray Wilkins did in his whole career

 

[Albert Ross]

At least they got within range, we make 20 passes without getting out of our own half.

 

[Realfish]

I really hate these short goal kicks

 

[Jimmy Jazz]

Why do they keep messing about with it at the back. They lose the ball every time

 

[Mark_GT]

We're not covering their forwards anywhere near quickly enough. Also, passing across the back four achieves diddly squat.

Agree with that. Dunk getting loads of touches - I'd prefer us to press them a bit, their defence isn't the best.

 

[Albert Ross]

I really hate these short goal kicks

I really hate this tippy tappy get nowhere pissing about.

 

[tangerine.com]

Brighton are struggling in the prem so will have a point to prove.

 

[hertfordseasider]

I have to say Husband isn't a central defender even on the left side, I think the way forward is Garbutt and Gabriel as our full backs when we go back to a 442

 

[Wizzerboy]

Would we have faired better on our own turf?

No

 

[Matesrates]

We’re just not pressing their defenders at all,

 

[Memphisboy]

Put Kai Kai Lubala and the Everton lad on and give it a go. Pointless just playing to keep it respectable. Turgid stuff. I’d rather we got beat 5 nil running at them than this sterile stuff

 

[Blackpool_Gaz]

If only we could have a shot at goal.

 

[Wizaard]

Yep 5 bloody grand Brighton wouldn't foot the whole bill and demanded it be split as is the case with costs and then profit split in FA cup games.
Tossers when you think the millions the PL is bringing them in.

Meanwhile we waive costs when we go to Eastbourne. Premier League moneygrabbers

 

[gjr69]

Our midfield isn't really producing anything yet. Forwards very isolated at the moment.

Happens in league 1 with our best 11, always a big danger of it happening today, especially with a new formation.

 

[hertfordseasider]

We miss Ward in midfield. In fact we have been desperate for a creative playmaker in the middle all season.

 

[Matesrates]

Better

 

[Wizaard]

FFS I've seen Pool pass the ball backwards and sideways more in the last 37 minutes than Ray Wilkins did in his whole career

The players with the most touches are their centre halves

 

[HetzkeBlaster]

We should have pushed the boat out and signed Charlie .....

 

[Loco]

We miss Ward in midfield. In fact we have been desperate for a creative playmaker in the middle all season.

and Dougall

 

[20togo]

That's awful from Yates. You've got to make sure you get your feet out of the way.

 

[Wizzerboy]

The players with the most touches are their centre halves

Yeh going sideways then FORWARDS

 

[JJpool]

Just feel were too poor in possession at times. League 1 or not have to be better onnthr ball, we see it at our level too.

 

[Old_Laytonian]

Yes

 

[themightysimmonite]

GOAL MACHINE.......
