Lavery's 2nd goal

2 already, only 18 to go to get 20, if he takes penalties too that should be easily doable.

We want 30... and a new deal.
 
Not seen a Blackpool striker with that sort of vision probably since Brett .. usually our players just whack it as hard as they can and hope for the best!!
 
He’s got the DJ Campbell’s about him. His work rate is frightening (just like Jerrys) and if we can master the ball into space ahead of him then he will score bucketfuls.

It’s one of the tactics of playing it around the back and doing the boring tippy tally stuff. Ideally we bring their press onto us and that pulls their centre backs further up the pitch. Then a quick forward pass by Carey, Morgan or Norburn through the gap between either CBs or CB and FB unleashes Shayne.

It does though rely on Marv not giving the ball away….
 
A finish that can only really come from a player playing with confidence too - which is great to see! I do reckon if Lavery hadn’t been on a hat-trick we would have had a couple of other goals yesterday too. It sounds like backwards logic but I think he would have been more unselfish and possibly created more. That being said he deserved a hat trick for his performance so I’ve no issue with him wanting it
 
Some doing to pull a finish off like that with the keeper coming towards you and a defender on you. Really hope he stays fit all season, could be the difference in getting promoted

Yeah I wasn't sure, the defender and no one around claims handball.

I thought it was Lavery but the more you watch it it's like one of those mind tricks where if you look at it thinking it's the defender, you see the defender hand ball it and same with the opposite.

Was the defender surprised he was there about to win it and panicked so handled it? His arm comes back that way like he did. Equally Lavery moves his out the way like he could have too, or to avoid it, was it both of them. But I now think it was the defender... 🥴

Either way there was no complaints from any of them, or their fans who were closest to it.

VAR would have confirmed no handball.
You see it every week on MOTD. The eye and the mind play tricks. (From the south I thought it was handball, but as others have said, no appeals from any of their players) The finish though was much better on replay from where I saw it in real time👍

Blimey, JJ, I can't help wondering to myself, after taking note of the mental gymnastics involved in that calculation, whether you possibly missed out on your true vocation in life - as a mathematician🤣

They call me the calculator, not because I'm good at maths, but many x I like to ÷ + conquer.

Surely, with that fighting spirit, Critch & co must be able to find you a place amongst the backroom staff at BR, particularly for those closely contested games where your rallying call to the 'troops' could be just the thing to turn fortunes out on the pitch in our favour!

You'd think so, but sadly I'll just have to inspire those on here instead.
