MK Dons v Blackpool Official Matchnight Thread 09.03.21

[BlackpoolsFinest]

Hand on heart, in over 30 years of watching us, I can't ever remember going to an away game, getting to half time where we're leading one nil, and then moaning that we were shite.

Every single time I'll have said to myself, happy days, so far so good, I'll take that.

Get some perspective, please.

 

[Memphisboy]

They’re quite good these two commentators. Quite witty.

 

[Wizaard]

Great position squandered by Virtue with a terrible ball.

 

[Memphisboy]

Can anyone explain what Embleton brings to the team? Doesn’t even look like a footballer

100% - you could lose him and no one would notice.

 

[Mark_GT]

I reckon they're susceptible to the ball behind the defence. Could be good for CJ. So long as El Critch doesn't bring Jerry off that is.

 

[clappers]

He is a bit nondescript isn’t he

 

[Macseasider]

Can someone explain what position Embleton is meant to be playing? He was down as behind Jerry but he seems to be clinging to the right wing most of the time.

 

[Phil_bfc deux]

Do any of you lot on this site actually watch league 1 football?

Its a serious question

As we were never going to be able to dominate these, so far its the perfect game plan

Not sure if it will last but so far so good

 

[TangerineBear]

Commentators are quite funny, for southerners best away commentating performance this season.

The football isn't even worth commenting on.

 

[Matesrates]

32% possession so far, not what we expected from a Liverpool coach

 

[Wizzerboy]

32% possession so far, not what we expected from a Liverpool coach

But the perfect game plan

 

[TangerinePeel]

We're nullifying them this half cos our pressing is so much better. Putting them under constant pressure and they don't have time to think

 

[Victorsponge]

Embleton is a young kid and this is his first start, give him a bloody chance, christ it's a good job Simms got two against Wigan or he would be getting it.

 

[Halifax71]

Break the habit Neil, 60 mins, get it changed.

Much better lately without doubt Phil - that first 20 mins was dire though. They should have been two nil up.

 

[Matesrates]

But the perfect game plan

So far

 

[Scaramanga]

Really good pressing from pool, embleton looks tired though.

 

[Wizzerboy]

They are playing better this half

 

[mull]

Must be too much wax in your ears. Nowt compared to the Chizz

 

[Stanah]

As commentator says " two mid table 3rd division sides"

 

[agouti]

We are playing well without being spectacular, pressing them really well.

We need that 2nd goal to kill the game........

 

[Mark_GT]

Simms knocking them around up front would be another good addition now.

 

[62years&counting]

Isn't it time he subbed Yates

 

[Wizzerboy]

We are playing well without being spectacular, pressing them really well.

We need that 2nd goal to kill the game........

How many times have we said that this season?

 

[1966_and_all_that]

We're not full of slick passing. Simms for Embleton, 4-4-2.

 

[GTFsTwinBrother]

Like the fact that embleton is more than willing to pull the trigger... do we have anyone else who does outside the box as a regular occurrence?

 

[tommytwojags]

Why do our defenders back off all the time?

 

[Wizaard]

Jimmy Mullen on for MK Dons.

 

[agouti]

How many times have we said that this season?

too many!

 

[mull]

We're not full of slick passing. Simms for Embleton, 4-4-2.

Makes sense to me.

 

[Dr Hfuhruhurr]

Accy Donny and Pompey all losing

 

[Macseasider]

Do any of you lot on this site actually watch league 1 football?

Made me chuckle this. Tricky answer. I did have to think what division we're in for a split second.

 

[Dr Hfuhruhurr]

and Ipswich...

 

[CAGU]

Got 1-1 written all over it, bloody hope not!

 

[Seasidesupporter]

It’s a line up based more on technique I guess and playing through the thirds?

Bench is direct and plain plan B (pace, big man etc)

Can anyone explain what Embleton brings to the team? Doesn’t even look like a footballer

I must agree not seen anything yet

 

[20togo]

look, i'll say it straight, I'd take a shit performance and a win but a shit performance which only result in draw or defeat and then criticism is justified. At the moment we are ok but we do give away chances thru poor marking.

 

[FedoraExplorer]

This ref is awful!

68 - Double change for the Seasiders. ON: Demetri Mitchell and CJ Hamilton OFF: Sullay Kaikai and Elliot Embleton

 

[EagleDay]

Why is it we have to keep scrapping for the ball instead of keeping possession?

 

[mull]

We re giving them much less space this half. Let's hope the subs please all the fickles this time. Bit of pace for them to deal with

 

[Matesrates]

If it’s still 1-0 with 10 minutes to go, I’ll be worried

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Looks like 4-5-1 with Mitchell and CJ.

 

[Macseasider]

For once happy with these substitutions.

 

[Halifax71]

Right subs.

 

[Wizzerboy]

Reverting back to the we need a 2nd to kill the game off post.
The longer it carries on like this the more confident MK Dons will get as they'll think that we couldn't hold onto a lead in the last 2 matches, theyll still have a chance

 

[GTFsTwinBrother]

Mitch seems proper hungry!

 

[Stanah]

Well they should have scored

 

[TangerinePeel]

Looks like Maxwell tipped that onto the bar, unbelievable save

 

[62years&counting]

MK pressing more.
