52/48

Not 52/48 again?

Good performance from Henderson, but doesn't beat the man of the match performance from Fammy for me

is that a shot on target just 5 mins into the season? how long til the next!?

I get they were in later than us 'cos of our earlier kick off, but technically we were in longer than them as they went out in 90 minutes, we survived for an extra 30!

Gotta be honest, as relieved as I am I can’t celebrate that.

Yep, just hope now that it takes the pressure of the team, and they can start putting in some better home performances. 

Can't celebrate scrapping passed the worst team in the league like that.

Was so tempted to write a cheeky FFS then

me too, but then realised it would make me the most hated person here, and probably get me booted!

We’ve all doubted them, but that’s a good response. So easy for it to have gone the other way. Really hope this doesn’t come back to bite me on the arse
 

A difference between this team and LJ's is they do seem to keep fighting better.

At least until second half injury time.

They're a strange lot from sagchat:

no carrot, no party?

Leyton Orient 1 up at the swamp.

and the gas drop into bottom 2 in live table, dropping below ...Mansfield

Hoping for some giggles from SagChat now!

See you over there!

So much better as a team performance than we had last season. 

Showed good attacking threat, even after conceding, last season that would have been it, heads would have dropped and we'd go one to lose.

Just need to keep that mentality/confidence going now!

Took two defections, no chance for Bentley!

even before that, how much space do we want to give them in the box?

edit -and Bents first attempt at a save!

comedy defending again

Thought that he'd let it get away from him and missed the chance, good finish in the end!

Have that!

I like how the gas are talking about how bare the south tent looked. 

What other football league* club has a south tent rather than a south stand?

*at time of writing

How was this on page three, as the gas slip into the L2 relegation places? 

Hopefully the red card and penalty count from the last few seasons evens out this year and they all go against the gas. That'll see them down again!

that is disappointing, having dominated against a newly promoted team

Just looked at sky bet for the odds for our game today, then thought I see what they had for the gas.

Clicked to see the league 1 games, what...how come the gas aren't playing today?

Then I remembered, league 2 

Going for 2-0 today.

Hopefully, as a newly promoted side it will take Blackpool a few games to get up to speed, it can be a big step up from L1 for some.

I'd forgotten how much my mood an a Saturday evening depends on the result.

Several games before the end of last season it stopped happening, when our loss was almost a foregone conclusion, but we weren't going to go down.

But now there is the hope again, please City, don't crush it today!

Smart move, the typo may keep you out of trouble, or the ambiguity as to who you mean!

Don't worry Moments, you won't come across any of them here!

HT and their matchday thread is just five pages long! Have their mods locked the faithful out?

That or they'll log on for 3pm, and find out they've already been relegated!
