Southport v Blackpool Official Matchday Thread 02.07.22

[Albert Ross]

He’s barely got going yet and still scored a worldly last season

Whoopee, extend his contract immediately he scored a worldy once.

 

[Maths]

Well whatever's happening Jed Mills isn't about to tell us...

He'd have trouble telling us his own name.

 

[TheSeaWord]

If Keshi, James and Dale could learn to pass/ when to pass, they would be great players.

Maybe I am being too critical and it was just the pitch?

 

[Satriale's Pork Store]

I heard the Southport fans giving it large were just kids and lashers ran at them. A bit embarrassing for you lot really.

Almost as embarrassing as a Nobber Troll commenting on it.

 

[ballysboots]

Southport wouldn't have scored if they had played from now till doomsday. Whether that's because they are utter rubbish and doomed to failure from whatever division they are in. Or because our defence looked competent and ready to repel all boarders as the new season approaches. I like to think the latter.

 

[Bloodtangerine]

I wasn’t there but heard Southport’s Top Boys got run big style and gave it legs like Ussain Bolt down the sidelines with shit running down their legs…….can anyone confirm?

You don’t even know what a troll is.

They were kids. Does that make you feel good.

I was having a joke you ** goon…..but thanks for spoiling my fun immediately you zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

It makes me feel great…..wish a few of the 11 year old runners had been caught and badly beaten to teach other clubs like Millwall a lesson!

[Insider]

I think it's naive to try to construe much if anything from the first pre season game. Apart from finding out who is injured. Avoiding injury seemed the prime objective.

Apter standing out for instance. Southport are at the level Apter was playing at last season. He's git an opportunity to impress, which he did, but I can't see him being near the first XI. The Championship is like a different sport altogether.

Equate that with Bowlers performance.

Yeah. Different mindsets.

Sun, Sonny and a stampede - Southport vs the Mighty

Preseason with no new players is a bit weird. So is seeing Bez up front for us. Hands up who'd forgotten he still plays for us? Southport is...

The pitch looked awful, long grass and bumpy as fcuk, maybe that played a part, aswell as it being the first game.

 

[LA-KINGS]

Keshi and Carey impressed me most. Look like things can happen when they get the ball. Apter did well and good he is under 21. Bez and CJ did well and Keogh class. Non of our central strikers looked good. James looks favorite to miss the 25man squad.

 

[gjr69]

Agree with all of that
Who would have thought last season that our best midfield selection may be
Connolly, Virtue, Carey
P. S I still do not think Connolly is a CB.

He's definitely not a right back, what's left?

If Virtue is in a best midfield 3 this season then we are in a world of bother...he was barely good enough for league 1 and looks slow and off the pace every game he plays for us ...get him out on loan ...Connolly has a great attitude and does a job but I think he should get a shot at his strongest position of centre half (possibly in a back 3) Carey is absolute quality and will be a star this season if not injured. I honestly think he could be our most valuable player this time next year

Agree to differ on Virtue he is still finding his feet in the team.
Connolly would struggle to shift current cb's and I like his tenacity as defensive mid plus he is a goal threat and he is definitely growing in that role, given straight choice I would now prefer him to Wintle who many were clamouring to sign
Totally agree on Carey, he is one of the two attacking midfielders we need.

 

[FLATBACKFOR]

Not seen the game , does anyone have a opinion on Tharme.

He did ok but I think centre back will be his best position .Has a hell of a long throw !

Generally how Preston fans are. Devoid of banter or humour. Muting them all now tbh.
