Match Day Thread Blackpool v Hull City

I’d have bee going to this game if it was a Saturday, I can’t be arsed with night games.

 

What a great story.

 

It's all true as well.

 

I hopeyou have recovered from that terrifying experience.

 

That was one of the least scary ones. It was much more dangerous inside the ground. The police did a good job that day keeping the opposition in their stand.

 

I was at that game and it wasn’t in the least bit scary.

 

Shots on target is probably our biggest problem at the moment. In the last few games we've started having shots again, so there's definitely been an improvement. The problem is the vast majority going wide or over. A couple more of these start going in and the confidence should start to come back.

 

Not sure the shooting was particularly bad against Birmingham was it? Lots of half chances going just wide but I don't remember any clear cut misses.

 

I think teams know our defence and defensive midfield is there for the taking at the moment. Think we need to score 2 to be in with a chance of a draw. However as always sooner or later we will get something.

 

I get your point, however I still think since we lost the two forward wide men we are ver light weight up front and in that final third it seems to fall down time and again. Giving the opposition the ball they then come at our fragile defence. When players are constantly playing the safe ball it’s often a total lack of confidence. Let’s not kid ourselves we have problems all over the pitch.

 

It was more the amount of them that I found frustrating. If a couple of them go the right side of the post we've probably won that game.

 

0-0 for obvious reasons would be great... anything starting 0- would be even better

 

Does anyone know if games are still available as bonus streams on Now TV's version of Sky Sports and if so, where? I haven't been able to find any this season.

 

I went there when they had a Kop which matched Anfield for size. I wonder if the pitch is still a cabbage patch?

 

Doc had the exact same chance as their second goal
In face he was closer to the goal
He missed the target completely
Their man didn’t

 

That was right before we went behind as well from memory. If that had gone on target, different game. Keeper was beaten.

 

Was at the illuminations bout 1961 or 1962 time. Got my mum to take me to a night game against Everton. Loads of Everton there Everton there and visitors like me just there to say they had seen Stanley Matthews. It was packed like on this photo. Over half the crowd of around 30,000 must have been on the Kop End.

are the any ground level shots? that looks like one huge stand

 

Couldn’t find any. It did look impressive unlike the rest of the stands which were very small.
