We all howled for a pen and a more fussy ref might have given one, but not this ref, and the chance was lost. One of our forwards would have walked it in. Brilliant away support, sang throughout and cranked up the volume in the last 10 minutes as we pushed for the winner.

The next best thing to a victory is a clean sheet scoreless draw.
Considering the opposition & a brilliant penalty save, I think todays result was top-notch.
Most of the teams above drew. Who'd have thought doomed Orient would get a 2-2 draw at Luton, and Morecambe did us a big favour beating Satanage!
Unbeaten in 14 - the dream goes on.

One of the best 0-0 I've seen for a while.
Two evenly matched teams and end to end football.
Blackpool had the edge in wide areas and played some decent football but I always felt we had the measure of them.
No team gave an inch in terms of competing and there was some great battles,especially Tom and Billy.
Thought Shay would cause them a lot of problems,but it just never went his way.
Thought Matty did ok and was unlucky with the penalty decision going against him,think he just run out of legs after bursting away from the half way line.
Take the point and move on

Not the best performance but a good second half. We had some chances (esp Sean early on, and Matty P who raced clear but mis controlled it).
Decent point. A win would have been mega.
Still hanging on in there.

What an atmosphere though. 1000 fans.

has brett ormerod said on the radio the ref had the whistle in his mouth and forgot to blow

[deeayess]

My opinion for what it's worth, and it may have been clouded by the odd whisky or two, was it was a stick on penalty but never the less a good point and other results more or less went our way

[Twenty Eight]

The ref bottled it - end of. He had his whistle in his mouth but I think the linesman was chuntering in his ear piece.
Draw a fair result.

[Lord Didsbury]

Stand out players? Young Harvey, the Don....Omar and Hughes also did ok. Just never really clicked former the rest of them. Kee was a target man for a succession of high balls he could never win and Clark and Seany were observers for much of the match. Matty P actually had a decent second half.

Would you have used any subs? Edwards possibly for Kee? I would have liked Husin to come on but with Matty growing into the game probably no point.

[chevyfire]

Fair result, as usual with a coley team i was impressed how we went for the win second half(at the risk of conceding) against a quick Blackpool team who could counter attack. Impressed the way Tom aldred came over to the Stanley end like he did at the end of game.
it must be hard as a blackpool fan at the game, remembering how they had it bouncing in the Holloway era compared to now where the away end make most of the noise and their fans are spread sporadically around the ground.

Let's see how many of the 1000 fans return to the wham for a non derby match

[Twenty Eight]

Not being cruel when I say this but we needed a cultured midfielder not combative. They bossed the middle of the park for long periods.
One of those things when the best two chances fell to Pearson.
McCartan McConville Clark or Kee would have buried the one on one.

[Lord Didsbury]

Much as I would have preferred the more cultured Husin in midfield (especially the first half) I think credit is due to Matty P for getting the chances in the first place. Didn't he also create a chance with a header back at the far post? It's probably a bit simplistic to assume the other players would have buried the one-on-one at the end of a sprint from the half way line.

In the first half Matty appeared a bit slow to me. Anyone agree? I thought it was probably that he's not as quick off the mark as Brown, say, or maybe can't read the midfield quickly enough.

Don't really know why I thought he did better second half. Maybe because the game opened up a bit more for him, or just because we were going forward more?
