AppyDAZE Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 "While Neil Critchley’s men were in control of the majority of the game, they were lacking a cutting edge in the final third." A thriller looks to be on the cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southport Red Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 I saw them vs Southport (NationalLeague 1) a couple of weeks ago. Blackpool won 2-0 but Southport scared the hell out of them. Defence looked v shaky. The CF we were supposedly interested in did nothing and was subbed off at HT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 If ever there was a game in which you could afford to take a gamble and start Scott and Bell it's home to Blackpool with 45 games still to go in the season if you don't win. Go on Nige Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go on Nige Todays game will probably have given NP a real selection headache. Both Scott and Bell performed really well against quality opposition and are deserving of a start. But I think NP will go for a bit of experience in the opening game and stick with Palmer and O'Dowda who also had decent games today. I don't mind either way.

Clevedon Red Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 Anyone remember about 15 odd years ago we played Blackpool first game of the season think they had been promoted and they only went and scored within the first 30 seconds. Managed to squeeze a draw in the end if I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those players that get selected have to start the ground running because nige still has a months worth of business if he needs to.. Not down to fitness now it's how they perform on a matchday a big season for o'dowda and Palmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you asked me who I trust more out of Wells and Bell, I'd struggle to decide. Obviously Nige will go for experience and the old guard of Weimann, Martin and Wells will dominate selection this season and we really need to see the best of them.

I think Wells has to play centrally or not at all. Bell certainly should have a role to play this season, but as NP has said, I’d prefer the youngsters to be gradually phased into a winning team.

But I have since assumed he must have been rubbish going by City fans opinions. But in this video he looks quality! I was also a fan of Junior but unfortunately the blistering speed was all he really had. 9 times out of 10 he'd skin the defender, get to the by-line, but then hit the hotdog stand. Saying that though he did have some good games now and again, and scored some important goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all thought that after running half the length of the pitch and with only the keeper to beat he’d sky it but to everyone’s amazement he slotted it. We all dream of a team of Ivan Sproules...

I had that as well (on VHS, what's that to anyone under 30 ) and that must be as near as you'll get on what Danny said if not spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 I seem to remember that someone worked out that the game had kicked off a minute early, so we were actually 1 down before the season started. The strange thing about that is I could have sworn we already had seating in front of the Dolman by then, your memory definitely plays tricks on you.

What a shame that Seal had such a bad injury, I wonder if it's the type that they could fix and he could recover from these days? His ability to create something out of nothing was exceptional, he was one of the few things worth turning up for during the Pulis era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
