Southport v Blackpool Official Matchday Thread

Will have the lap top under the Gazebo in the garden projected on to a big screen with a few tinnies - hope there's commentary or I won't know who anyone is!!
 
Would love to have a beer (or 3) whilst watching, but working straight after!
Seriously looking forward to this, I’ve never felt so eager to watch a pre season friendly.
 
My daughters 16th birthday party but I'm sure she will allow me a little watch.

I’ll give you a hint shall I ..... Maxwell will possibly be between the sticks 😏 ... if he’s not, then it’s Simms.
Hopefully see a different team each half , giving everyone a fighting chance to impress Critchley 👍

We're all expecting to win easily with a hatful of goals -- my first thought was 10-0 for us.

However, a mental health warning -- what if we lose? Will some of us explode? They, presumably, have been playing as a team for a season or more. We haven't. We have been known to lose pre-season friendlies against weaker teams before.

Of course we'll win. Stay calm everyone. 👍 😁🍊
 
Aside from seeing all the the new lads it will be interesting to see who is at the back and if Feeney plays a part or not
 
I expect a bit of sleepy affair first pre season game it will all be about fitness players getting to know each others movements not getting injured with lots of changes interesting though .

I’m getting excited, just to see how we’re going to play , I know its only the first pre season game but I’m hoping to see something positive .
 
be up at 4 am to watch the Critchley revolution move forward . Bloody exciting signings and sending a strong statement of intent to the rest of the league . Will be interesting to see pattern of play , formation and who starts .
Better make it 2.00 or it will all be over , I think there’s only 11 hours between us at the moment ?
 
Excuse me for being a little thick but do you just click on the link to watch
the match or do you have to subscribe to something.

Thank you in advance for the answer
 
It'll be interesting to see how they line up, whether that will be 433 or 4231 and who slots in where.
The fact that almost all of them except Robson have been training a while means the new signings should be good to go.

I'm really looking forward to it.
 
Wonder if there will be any trialists ? In previous years I feel it's been more of a way of avoiding actually paying a player and just having a squad in place to train over the summer before ultimately scraping the barrel for those desperate enough to actually sign for us... whereas now any trialists may actually be good players who I hope are desperate to sign for us but not because they have a mortgage to pay but instead because this is where they want to play football.
Hopefully there's a few youngsters who've been let go by big teams in the EPL / European Leagues that Critchley is taking a look at over the summer - Mansford mentioned Critchley knows every U23 player in Europe - the fact he said Europe makes me think we're looking far and wide and not just locally.
 
Doubt there will be trialists but if there are, broadcasting on YouTube probably isnt the best idea!

Just click on link you don't have to subscribe(free) but if you do you will get alerts when BFC put anything on.
 
Unfortunately I'm busy this afternoon & not having watched anything off the Blackpool youtube channel before, can anyone please clarify that we can watch it later this evening before I get too excited & find out it's no longer available.
 
Hiya Sooty, found this about football youtube channels but i doubt any of us will know until after the match is finished .🙄

'A broadcast represents an event that can be watched on YouTube as it happens. Broadcasts can also be recorded and saved as YouTube videos so that users can watch them after they happen. '

PS The club do seem to upload anything of interest, so fingers crossed
 
Genuinely looking forward to this - sick of watching everyone else’s side play - Come on the Pool!!
 
And the subs bench... Turton, Thorniley, Nottingham, Shaw, Garrity Feeney, Anderson, Kaikai, Yates, Yussuf.
No Sarkic, Maxwell or Sims named. Robson can't play.
