West Brom v Blackpool Official Matchday Thread 14.04.22

[Wizzerboy]

like i said pre game Carroll in the air is a threat.

Came off his knee 20's

 

[Chunkylad]

he is but he doesn't get forward like Gabriel does and that to an extent impacts Bowlers game.

Totally agree 20s. Without overlapping full backs we aren’t the same team.

 

[Sooty59]

It’s against the run of play. But my fault as I said Carrol is a useless lump before the game kicked off

 

[Lost Seasider]

Too easy

 

[JJpool]

Same old, dominate the game ,cannot finish chances,get punished.

Yep, although we haven't had the shots, the positions we've been in with a bif of quality then you have many goal scoring opportunities.

It's looked nowhere near championship quality in the final 3rd.

 

[XBeds-Now-Kings_Meaburn]

Same problem we've had all season , not taking the chances we create or making most of possession when we are on top . We need more clinical forwards & better service to them . Our final ball is more often than not poor despite good build up

 

[doolan_legend]

I think we’ve been in about 7 or 8 superb attacking positions and every single time it’s either has either ended in dross quality or shocking decision making. Probably why we’re where we are in the league.

 

[Macseasider]

Poor goal. Poor game.

 

[KhonKaenSeasider]

When your keeper is afraid or incapable of commanding HIS 6 yard box............

 

[Mark_GT]

We've been dire since Jordan went off. Virtue no in it at all and we're jittery on the ball. Need to get the initiative back fast.

 

[20togo]

Came off his knee 20's

yeah but see how he won the ball[unchallenged in the build up.
We just don't put the same quality into the box. They've had one chance we've had loads of opportunities and created nothing.

 

[Wizzerboy]

Poor goal. Poor game.

It isn't a poor game, it's been an open game with plenty of chances.
Unfortunately as with all season, Blackpool need at least a dozen to take one.

 

[Blackpool Are Back!]

West Brom commentary team think Blackpool dont deserve to be losing.

 

[Grumpy_no_more]

Thorniley was too busy hanging onto the guy in front of him, that he failed to see the ball going over his head and into Carrol behind him!

Edit to add: Maxwell could have punched that ball too if he'd left his Goal line. Hindsight's a Wonderfull thing.

 

[ElBurroSinNombre]

Yup you need that one for four corners. At the start he referred to the "absence of giants" in the West Brom defence. Hope he's ok

Surprisingly restrained when Matty Virtue took to the field

 

[Simonized]

When your keeper is afraid or incapable of commanding HIS 6 yard box............

I more or less said the same in the comments in the tweet.

 

[Ollygon]

The forwards won't take responsibility and take a shot- and I've counted 19 backpasses to Maxwell.

 

[JJpool]

Ht stats...



1 shot on target and that must be that tame free kick.

Quite telling after all those promising moves not one was able to have either a final pass or create a shot on target.

 

[Seasider3610]

Oh! “The absence of giants at the back!”

 

[TimperleyTangerine]

Surprised he didn’t put on James at RB, leaving Connolly in the middle. Can’t afford to lose him from midfield.

That has been Blackpool's problem all season

 

[JJpool]

I don’t really rate Maxwell that highly, Grimshaw is better but he doesn't command the box from crosses either.

Personally I think a new keeper may be needed in summer.

Can't we just have one of those keepers who comes and claims all crosses like those we play against seem to?

 

[Seasider3610]

Carrol just doing his job.

Get Jerry on FFS

agree entirely

 

[Simonized]

Critch has a habit of sacrificing MF for the sake of the FB when MF is more important.

 

[Suddick's Ghost]

Disagree entirely. Should have closed down the cross. Not the keeper's fault.

 

[Albert Ross]

Don’t blame Thorniley,again, what was Connolly doing. Marking himself?

 

[Sooty59]

Anderson needs to learn how to shoot

That would be in my HT teamtalk. Passing is a little bit better today but we need to make the right decisions in front of goal.

 

[20togo]

It isn't a poor game, it's been an open game with plenty of chances.

yeah not a poor game at all. We've played well upto the final ball.

 

[Fargo99]

57 years since we won at West Brom, bright start today last 15 minutes seem to be sleepwalking.
Like to see Beesley for Madine 2nd half.

 

[Insider]

Thommo and Chissie seem to think Keshi is a leftie

 

[Albert Ross]

Critch has a habit of sacrificing MF for the sake of the FB when MF is more important.

His whole philosophy is about not conceding, which we inevitably do when we drop farther and farther back.

Not if you watched the Liverpool game you wouldn’t.

 

[Led zepp]

Said after first game of the season, away at Bristol, Connelly is not a right back

 

[20togo]

Anderson doesn't like to shoot does he?

 

[hertfordseasider]

Anderson doesn't like to shoot does he?

Woeful

 

[Wizzerboy]

Baggies commentator saying its not the first time Blackpool have wasted a chance in the final third

C'mon you tangerines

 

[18YearFreeTrial]

Good start

 

[Wizzerboy]

Anderson doesn't like to shoot does he?

Bramhall Lane wasn't too bad

 

[TOON Seasider]

1-1 Big Marv

 

[Yarmouth Seasider]

Gooooooooaaaaaaallllllll Marv

 

[hertfordseasider]

Should be 1-1. great free kick

 

[Grumpy_no_more]

You're right. I don't know where Connolly was either.

 

[XBeds-Now-Kings_Meaburn]

 

[MartonBornandBred]

Yessssssssss!

 

[JJpool]

Get in.

Get him up front....

 

[johnnyb]

Get innnnn !.

 

[20togo]

[Curryman]

Fantastic Ekpiteta.
