Shrewsbury v Blackpool Official Matchday Thread 02.03.24

[Blackpool Are Back!]

835 Pool fans there.

 

[Leither]

Only listening to comms but seems we have found a decent blend today.

Coulson back and proving he should be a regular starter.

Sounds like Byers is playing much better today after a slow start.

Dembele proving he should start every game.

Rhodes back is an obvious bonus.

Gabriel should also start every game and CJ stay on the bench.

Bring Albie back for Norburn and that's a team capable of beating Stevenage to that final play off place

Have you counted them?

 

[tangerine.com]

Get a winner will you, Lincoln?

I prefer a draw

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

Not watched it but these must be a pathetic team for us to win so comfortably.

 

[bill40]

Have you counted them?

Erm probably not it was officially announced.

You mean like we have won all those other away games so comfortably??

My youngest son's first away game, it won't be his last.

 

[bill40]

Yes!!

 

[seasidelytham]

My youngest son's first away game, it won't be his last.

Make sure you drag him to all the remaining away games

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

It’s been a solid performance from us today 99% improvement on Tuesday night.

Let’s not get too carried away though Shrewsbury are down the bottom end for a reason.

Oh and my Fylde coast treble come up so a good day all round.

 

[TangerinePeel]

I prefer a draw

If Lincoln ever overtake us, we'll never make the playoffs anyway. We need those above us to drop points, we can't afford for anyone to overtake us regardless.

 

[SussexTangerine8888]

Keeps us alive. Pompey at home next up, Stevenage have fleetwood at their place on same day…now or never

 

[Halifax71]

By not going I'll take the credit for that

Good set of results as well.

 

[Yarmouth Seasider]

Get right ** in!

 

[Stanah]

Come on Pool, we just need to be more positive on the road!

 

[Ockers]

Good result

Rather boring game in my opinion. I don't think we're a decent team to watch

Onto the next one

 

[Roy Kent]

Well done

Please don’t start CJ instead of Gabriel next time Mr Tinker!

Weak today from CJ I’m afraid
Good performances from Byers Coulson Marv

Solid from everyone else

Excellent from Dembele - chefs kiss on that

Back to comfort spot 8th??

 

[King Billy]

Did Crichley not going over at the end?

It's the poor teams we usually struggle against Jaffa so that was a great win

 

[TangerineEggCup]

We beat a bottom 6 side away from home. I'm in shock . About bloody time.

 

[hertfordseasider]

Byers really pumped up at the end there and thank fuck, no fist pumps!

 

[Costero Poderoso]

Really not enjoying watching Norburn currently. Needs to want the ball more, find space quicker and stop slowing things down. Been a number of times where Byers or Dembele are in space and he holds it up and looks backwards.

its quite obvious the byers is now that central pivot, so why Norburn is playing is an absolute mystery to me. morgan, carey virtue, all all better. we are literally playing a man down when Norburn is on the pitch.

 

[Sooty59]

Come on Fleetwood they can do us & themselves a favour. Good win for them today too.

 

[Costero Poderoso]

three points and two well worked goals, but didnt enjoy that at all.

 

[midfield general]

I’d take Hoolahan out of retirement , still my favourite ever pool player

He's not retired

I’d take Hoolahan out of retirement , still my favourite ever pool player

, he's just signed for Doncaster.

 

[Ormergod]

Good second half from us I thought

 

[agouti]

Once again they have responded in the only way they could.

The mystery is we just don't know what comes next with this team/management.

Credit for responding with a win but oh how we have made things hard for ourselves with the away form. The numerous points chucked away on the road is the biggest frustration.

 

[poolfc]

Expected it to be 2-0 in a poor game today but the thought never crossed my mind that it'd be for us.

Earlier in the season I might have brushed off three points as we only got them because the opposition were limited and weak but seeing as we've been no better at times ourselves so far then it's a big relief. Looked like the Shrewsbury subs could have teed up a very familiar feeling at the end so a second goal just when it was needed.

 

[Victor Laszlo]

Great win that..won't live long in the memory that match but it's all about the 3 points at this stage of the season. Well done chaps.

 

[Fatboy]

Nothings guaranteed mr negative

Wrong ! A Borefest from ATG is Guaranteed

 

[SussexTangerine8888]

He's not retired

, he's just signed for Doncaster.

Doncaster City I see in the 11th tier! Fair play at 41. An absolute joy to watch

 

[Chunkylad]

Walking back to the car. Buzzing. Loved that. Solid performance which we bossed. Grimmy little to do.

Rhodes back at the end gets me thinking it’s not over yet

UTMP.

Ps Not read this thread yet but A Tense Grin you can go fook yourself!

 

[Happychap]

Even back pass Barry wasn't as negative as Norburn.

 

[Greennutmegsmoore]

Literally??

Yet you predicted a win for Shrewsbury.
Love your loyal support.

You revel in the token win that papers over the cracks.

Well has taken 36 games for us to beat a team in the bottom half away from home. Therefore, easy mistake!

 

[TheOldKop]

Enjoy the win you miserable **

 

[SirHarryThomson]

Cheer up

A tense grimace - cheer up you must be a real spongebob

 

[BestTrip]

That’s 9 points from:

Peterborough (A)
Bolton (H)
Leyton Orient (A)
Shrewsbury (A)

Who would not have taken that before the Peterborough game?

'Damning with faint praise', is how I would describe your brief and far from fulsome appraisal, A_T_G!

 

[Leither]

Token? We've won 3 of the last 4

 

[Blackpool_Fan]

Nice win.

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

Yeah that's great when it means sod all now.

That's promotion form

 

[Leither]

Yeah that's great when it means sod all now.

I thought we were only 4 points behind Stevenage with 10 games to go.

All to play for

You're Paulco aren't you?

 

[tarantula]

Husbands passing is generally abysmal these days.

Replace 'generally' with the word 'utterly', and I think you've pretty much hit the nail on the head there ...
