Report: Blackpool 1-1 Town

Report: Blackpool 1-1 Town

Didn't get to the game, but a point away from home with 10 men is pleaseing. We were lucky other results haven't gone too far against us so far today.

But we have got to win away soon, we can't depend on other teams!


Ipswich Town - the pride of anglia

Absolute abysmal(spelling) performance, Started with the very lazy Counago up front who did nothing, hoofball was played all first half which was pointless because Counago, Haynes and Roberts will not win anything in the air against bigger centrebacks. Crossing was either hit too hard and or too short which was again very dissapointing.
My man of the match was Gary Roberts, who worked had all game until he was taken off late in the second half. Excellent turnout from the Town supporters, it seemed we had taken over Blackpool for the weekend, and if we had played a tad better we could have walked this game easily, Blame Jim Magilton for his negative away tactics in only playing the idle Counago up front on his own!!!
Heres my marks(out of 10)
Alexander 5 (nothing to do really, one good save)
Sito 3 (a few runs down the wing but was caught out of position in the lead up to their goal)
Bruce 3(the new David Linighan, hoof hoof hoof, to nobody!!)
De Vos 3( captain useless, his reading of the game is awful and his way out of his depth in the championship)
Wright 4(caught out of position too many times, but was still the best out of the four backline)
Walters 6 (good goal, but apart from that,just the usual from the impressive guy, if only he had the talent around him to match)
Legwinski 3 (who??)
Garvan 3 (looked knackered after 30 mins, wayward passing, scared to challenge,rubbish away from PR)
Haynes 3 (did'nt get into thhe game at all)
Roberts 7 (ran all game, maybe trying too hard to score somtimes, but worked his socks off.well done!!)
Counago 2 (fell over alot, barged into the keeper when he knew things were'nt going his way, think he'd been on the San Miguel in Blackpool the night before---5hite)

Sub
Naylor (made us look alot more solid when he came on and made some excellent challenges,which surprised a certain scouser standing next to me)
Lee (brought on too late to make an impact, poor management from Jimbo)
Miller (he might have touched the ball once, I can't remember, get rid!!)

A word about the Blackpool fans, very noisy and the excellent chant of SEA-SIDE, SEA-SIDE, made the Town fans chuckle.
Next up for me Sheff Wed in a couple of weeks.

In the words of Dave and the matching hat, gloves and scarf set of Mrs Dave, one word could describe the performance--5hite!!!!

Sito on the ball with 25 yards of real estate in front of him just pumps it up to any one who wants it ( usually the opposition centre half). Does he do this all the time?? Naylor did indeed surprise me or maybe he just looks good next to some big girls blouses who dont like to stray too far from Portman road! I'm 50 50 on Miller, would like to see a fully recovered Gav Williams back in the side for sure.
