mozo Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 Good half with a general dominance. It did feel like we're lacking a goalscoring striker, but then a striker scored! Palmer and Weimann have shown both the good and bad of their play. Scott has had a very encouraging game so far. 1 Quote Link to comment
Red Exile Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 Enjoying this! Suddenly we have experience all over the park. Palmer a player transformed. Impressed by Atkinson. Scott showing some good confident touches. Quote Link to comment
cityexile Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) Played more football than the second half of last season put together, and deserve to be ahead. At the moment restricting Blackpool to bugger all. Cannot fault Palmers commitment, but really not a fan of his sliding tackle which has come to be a trademark. Going to be a card every time he mistimed it. Edited August 7, 2021 by cityexile 2 Quote Link to comment
City_USA Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 Have to be happy with that 1st half of the 1st game of the season. Already seeing the positive changes big Nige as made to the midfield. Expect players to be a little rusty. We're not going to be the soft touch as we were last season. KP getting stuck in. Composure from King and James. Need that dynamic, exciting striker that scares defenses. If it needs cashing in on Kalas or Nagy, then so be it. Either way, good to be back. COYR! 1 Quote Link to comment
grifty Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 This is 50x better than last season. Obviously not perfect but we’re creating chances, getting some passes around and working hard off the ball. 3 Quote Link to comment

Could be our breakout player that saves us some serious $. Feel like if he could get a goal, many more could follow. Quote Link to comment
Gazred Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 We look pretty comfortable. Lovely finish by Martin. Think we could/should be producing a bit more. Quote Link to comment
brad blit Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 Fair to say we’ll be a more solid team than last year, but the creativity issue remains. That said we’ve had 7 shots so maybe im being harsh….. The biggest cheer for me will be seeing Baker complete 90min Quote Link to comment
TRL Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 King and James bring so much experience, calm and confidence to the midfield, dominating much of it, its a great holding area that our attacking players can grow confidence from, he is hoping it stays that way. 1 Quote Link to comment

Dman_Red Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 Encouraging half. Great to see Wiemann back, really missed his energy. I like the variation in our set pieces too, nice to see we're actually trying new things. Quote Link to comment

Agreed, in that half we've been more energetic, managed better closing down and certainly won the midfield battle. Major concerns 1) need to be more clinical COD and AW both should have at least hit the target 2) concentration +++ danger of getting caught on the break or being undone by one long back. However, overall a much better team performance and so much more entertaining to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment

ExiledAjax Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 I have enjoyed King and James in the middle. Lots of deep crosses, which did pay off in the end, but also some nice wide through balls from the centre of the pitch. Been a bit scrappy at times but generally been a more pleasing watch than most of last season. 1 Quote Link to comment

All chances that you think that would be put away later in the season as opposed to the 1st half of the first game. Encouraging Quote Link to comment
Son of Fred Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) A Blackpool fan on their forum saying todays game is being played at twice the pace of league one .. We should be 2 or 3 up already and I'm hoping it's not to be a tale of missed chances - Our improved fitness already beginning to show so expect us to turn the screw last 20..
