MATCHWATCH : Blackpool (a)

[Royalwaster]

Wing losing the ball there a lot towards the end of the half - think he was probably looking for stuff that just wasn't happening in front of him. But with him playing so deep it's very dangerous losing the ball.

[Snowflake Royal]

Oof, Stickland dodgy back head, followed a few moments later with being done chasing back, and then a superb last ditch sliding challenge in the box.

[Orion1871]

Shit from Stickland.

[Snowflake Royal]

Shit from Stickland.

Yeah, he's just not making anything safe. Letting them in with over-commiting, underhit passes, trying to control when he should clear etc.

And that's game over with Yiadom deciding to make Stickland feel better with one of his own.

[stealthpapes]

2-0 game over

[Sutekh]

Reading are so ineffective in front of goal. Still no shots on target. Blackpool keeper might as well not be there.

And here comes the usual collapse at Blackpool.

[Royal_jimmy]

Blackpool aren't making the playoffs in a million years. They're oxf*rd shite

[skipper]

Ah sh*t. Oh well, first loss in 11 games isn't bad. And after Wycombe it all looks achievable. Just a bugger Leyton are winning.

And here comes the usual collapse at Blackpool.

That's what happens when you sell your best striker and replace him with a trier who's not got that little bit of quality you need and a lad who's more comfortable on the wing.

That's Blackpool making the play offs then.

You can be gay if you want to. Doesn't bother me

[Royal Ginger]

We could keep doing this for a month, we’re not getting through their defensive lines.

[tidus_mi2]

Somehow we are staying 6th with current results.

Why the school yard homophobia Jimmy?


Say what you like about Bruce, he knows how to get a defence organised. Blackpool are defending as a unit superbly, absolutely no space for us to get through anywhere.

[Orion1871]

Bruce might be a dinosaur tactically according to Dwight Gayle but he's outclassed Noel twice this season.

Don't know about you, but I wouldn't fancy a lion against an ankylosaur, or a bison against an Allosaur.

[Snowflake Royal]

Another poor header from Stickland.

Not too impressed. Don't like his physicality/posture. Looks uncomfortable and nervous the whole time.

[Royal_jimmy]

Thats because we've been poor.and done nothing

[stealthpapes]

Bolton score late, down to 7th

[Bristol Paul]

Think the instructions for the night were not to shoot under any circumstances
