Well that was a robbery. Poor first half and lucky not to be behind thanks to their poor finishing and Iversen's skills. Came out more like it in second half scored the couple of goals against the run of play and on we march. Winning but not playing well. Today passing was poor and defence had problems when they ran at us. Referee again poor too many bookings. Blackpool were the better side but I didn't like they're niggly tactics constant pulling and pushing that went unpunished. We were in need of someone to put their foot on the ball, but we have said that about every game. Can't moan about effort and we're gradually reeling them in. Keep it up lads.
Iversen. Brilliant some excellent saves, our best signing this year.
Olosunde. His worst game of the season, needed to be subbed before getting sent off, after being booked for nothing.
Robertson. Great goal but not a brilliant defensive display, he's not a full back so I'll cut him some slack, last minute replacement for Mattock
Ihekwe. Man of match for me, up against big skilful lad. I think he just gets better and better. Won fair share of headers, stood firm in tackles and covered well.
Wood. A couple of heart in the mouth moments but by and large did what he had to do.
Lindsey. Covered every inch of the pitch, battled well and was best of midfield.
Barlaser. Lovely free kick for first goal. Showed one or two nice touches, but didn't do enough. We need him to be the key to open up teams.
Wiles. As Lindsey covered miles and got into some dangerous positions, still needs a rest for me.
Hasty. Seems to have gone off the boil a bit, took me ages to realise he was playing, but then I am getting old.
Crooks. Not the same impact as last week but a definite improvement on previous games. Took some stick and hope he's OK after going off.
Smith. 3 goals in 2 games, nuff said. Led the line well took a lot of stick but kept battling.
Subs, Ogbene. Looks like the real deal to me, fast and skillful, he'll terrify defences.
Clarke. Got stuck in when he came on and looks useful.
Just seen Richie Barker on Preston Station and he to is well pleased with result, quote "good defensive performance, although not technically good, a game where we may have caved in a couple of weeks ago"
Fair enough to me game management at the end was good.
