2 Odd atmosphere in grarnd. Both sets of fans in main stand separated by netting on seats, the other three sides completely empty apart from the press and some ball boys. Tha cud hear players sharting
3 For the first time this season we came up against a team willing and able to get in aar faces, closing us darn, quick in tackle. I believe the modern coaches / fans have latched onto the word "pressing" to describe it. Completely disrupted aar game.
4 The lack of depth in our squad showed. Those coming in to replace aar "regulars" didn't perform. Goat has got some fans whooping with joy that we ent spent owt this summer (Dougall apart) on first team additions but it showed toneet that if a couple of aar key players get injured we will not have replacements of anywhere near the same quality
-Walton edda mare, confidence shot, shudda saved two of the goals, carried ball out of his area trying to release it early but Blackpool players stopped him, led to free kick and third goal
-Jackson, adequate but Pool forrads were gerrrin past him second heyf
-MaGeehan edda shocker
- Moncur, good early on, cracking volley for goal, went AWOL second heyf
-Isgrove, ineffective
- Adebojo, edda one on one second heyf but fluffed it, confidence dropped from the joy of his two taps ins in first two games, showed his inexperience. Bradshaw looked lost wiart Moore up winning balls
5 Some of the mooar fickle element were sharting and booing for the first time. Stendel kept turning back to his coaches with a look of horror/ disgust on his face and his decision to withdraw Dougall was not met with pleasure. One pillak, mid twenties, ran to the touchline to what looked like try to pull Pinillos's shorts darn as he wo tekkin a throw in. Steward followed him back into crowd. A full blown feyt followed with three ejected. While mooast wo watching that Pinnock hit pooast from a corner
6 Maybe the kick in the arse that was needed. Not ivvery teeam will lay darn and be as poor as Oxford and Bradford
