Match Day Thread Blackpool FC v Sunderland AFC - Saturday 27th July 2024 - KO 15:00

[SourPatch2]

I enjoyed that half, loving the rotations when we are in possession and then how quickly we get our shape back when we lose it.

Browne is going to be so important to us, you can already see his quality and his leadership skills in CM

Cirkin not been great so far, would like to see him influence things a bit more when we have the ball

Jobe started to come into it towards the end, some brilliant runs into the box

Aggressive when pressing and moving the ball at pace

Enjoying it so far

Started 2nd half poorly as well.

 

[LD19SAFC]

Should be 1 down. That rebound was a sitter

Poor from Patterson, cant be pushing it into that area - got to push behind or wide

 

[RTB]

Mayenda shoots wide

 

[RTB]

Good run from Johnson

 

[Prehab26]

Just seems we have absolutely nowt in the final third.

 

[monty987]

i have tied everything but won't work 2024 and internet still rubbish.

 

[RTB]

Saving tackle from Hume there

Why do commentators keep saying 'he just about dealt with this' or 'just about kept the ball in' ...

... when they actually did deal with it or kept the ball in'

I believe the technical term is.
"Rambling utter shìte".

It's very obvious what we do as well with Roberts and Clarke cutting in almost exclusively. I'd like to see them swap now and again

 

[SourPatch2]

Cirkin is really, really struggling here.

 

[Scout73]

Cirkin been poor this game

Poor defending for that set piece

Just need to get back to moving the ball at pace n moving with pace off the ball

 

[RTB]

Another chance for Blackpool

 

[Oliver's Army]

Cirkin looks a bit off the pace to me, they have got in down his side a few times. Hopefully he just needs minutes after his injury last season.

 

[clockstander]

Watson has twice gone close to pulling one back at Hartlepool.

 

[LD19SAFC]

Just seems we have absolutely nowt in the final third.

Final ball has been atrocious. A few similarities to last season…

 

[Smug in Boots]

Sunderland playing like England here ...

... too many passes sjdewards or back and no one taking risks playing through the lines.

Get Ba and Aouchiche on for some energy and pace.

 

[Reggie the Cheddar]

Crying out for a real target man

 

[King Kareoke]

I know it is pre-season but we look very toothless up front - still!!
