Great night, great win but the pre match traffic it took me an hour from the West Brom Tesco island to to the motorway,which was grid locked again Island,

Something on special offer at Tesco to cause such congestion?

At least Corberan has got them playing with more energy and competitiveness, though we still lack that cutting edge. Some positives from the game as the press and passing was much better and we pretty much contained a Blackpool team that has goals in them. Just need to utilise our more creative players to try and find that much needed edge.

Based on this game Yokuslu and Diangana have to start, as does Asante. Grant worked harder tonight but still offers too little and far too lightweight. Thought TGH had a good game and a bit surprised to see him subbed. Rogic looked good in his brief appearance and both Townsend and Furlong added a bit more accuracy to their game for a change alongside their normal energy. O'Shea had a better game too. Bartley and Philips did ok but too slow now. Thought Swift wasted several corners but showed some nice touches later on and Wallace not up to his normal standard so not too surprised to see him replaced.

It's a start and though we've all seen this before at least I'll enjoy another beer tonight on it and try and think positive thoughts for us going forward. Deserved win and pleased for Yokuslu.

Good summary!

A much needed win but why sub TGH, he was one of the best on the pitch? I hope Corboran now knows that Grant isn’t worth a starting place, why did he keep on for so long? A very welcome win, though.

Hi, he was limping when he walked round the Brummie when he was subbed

Hi I set out at 6 oclock, got to the tesco island at 6 10 then it took me hour and 20m to get to the motorway island.
I phoned our Lisa she turned round went back on herself and then went down forge lane,
Absolute nightmare.

Yoksula has been poor in most games he has started. He has been dropped because of poor performances. We have quite a few that can string one good game together and then disappear for the next six.
He is one of them but hopefully he can improve now.

We were unable to go to the match, but gave our tickets to some friends who attend occasional matches - maybe half a dozen matches this season.
They sent us the following message thanking us….

“You missed a great game. Best I’ve seen them play in ages. Great atmosphere with lots of singing too”

Interesting ?

PS I understand there was a chant ‘where’s the money gone’ presumably alongside the peaceful light protest ?

As the time approached 20:12, I noticed the Blackpool commentators noticed it.
There was so few spectators at the game, didn't notice it on the TV.

Indeed there was!
