Blackpool Away! - Page 6

I thought that we were second-best for much of the game with Blackpool dominating the midfield. Matty is a magnificent player - but not in midfield. We desperately needed someone like Delfouneso. McCartan and McConville made no impact whatsoever on the game.

I still feel that the use (or non-use) of substitutes remains Coley's Achilles heel. The game was crying out for a change after an hour. Gary Bowyer made 2 substitutions about then - and one later in the game. It always gives the opposition something different to think about and contend with.

It's a pity that none of the video highlights seems to show the denial of what looked like a certain penalty when Slocombe brought down Matty Pearson.

As chevyfire says, it was good to see Tom Aldred come over to the Stanley fans at the end. Such a pity that some had booed him during the game. Otherwise, a great turnout by the Stanley fans.

think I was at a different match. I found it boring with the very odd patch of excitement, Good penalty save though. Bringing on subs may have helped us.

greeny - I thought it was one of the duller matches this season. Too much high ball stuff.

For my two pennyworth I thought Blackpool were better & quicker than us in the first half, cagey at times with both teams setting out not to lose.
Second half was much better from our lads,overall a draw was probably a fair result but if that super strike of Billy's had gone in & the ref hadn't been so inept regarding our penalty it could've been a very different story.
Other results were kind to us though & with some of those around us playing each other on Monday, if we win who knows what could happen?
Last word for our brilliant support - fantastic to be a part of it, I didn't hear anyone booing Tom but if they did I agree there was no need, the lad always gave 100% for us & he showed the regard he still has for the club & our fans at the end.

Decent day out, but I prefer away days without a drum and borderline homophobic chanting.

I thought the ref had given the free kick/pen, but it was a shocking touch just before that giving the goalie an even chance.

The pathetic Arsenal fans would have been better not turning up.

What even is borderline homophobic? Surely it's homophobic or it isn't!

Got to disagree about Mattys performance yesterday,despite being out numbered in the middle of the park in the first half,he constantly tried to influence the game in terms of attack and defending.
Out of all the central midfielders (both sides),who created more chances ?
Very hard to get near good players when they have an extra man,but he worked hard to get dragged around whilst retaining shape,which in turn limited their chances.
One thing about the lad,playing well or not,he doesn't go hiding!!!
