Same comment as the Everton match - does anyone care???
Anyone's guess what the team will be?
I would like Clough to get more game time. Also need Derik and Alex Sami playing.
This must be the win - mustn't it!
I'll go for 2-0.

Totally bored.
In fairness, there was little big boot but it was deadly pass back, pass sideways.
If you can recall that Barclays advert re walking football, well this was it.
We could have been 1 down within 2 mins as a back heel deceived Alnwick and trickled past the post.
We then scored when Ameobi deflected the ball in following a corner.
The next few minutes were OK with Ameobi and Henry playing wide and creating half chances. Our lack of ball control cost us a few chances.
After about 30 minutes both Ameobi and Henry vacated the wings and came inside and the whole flow was gone.
The rest of the match meandered along. We created some half chances, Clough hit the post and Blackpool had a few chances also.
But it was so slow and sideways/backwards.
Totally depressing football

Crowd - 1500
Samizadeh did not get a kick, other than fouling their man with his first touch. No-one passed to him. There was one break with Ameobi near the end when he got into a great position but, as usual, Ameobi thought he could dribble past everyone instead and wasted it.

No, can't feign any interest in this but PP seemed to send a team with some intent. Had we have dominated, won 4-0 I may have thought they were playing for places.
1-0 is the worst result. Shows how they can't score (86 mins without killing a game)
Let's who who they're playing. Anyone moans about Anderson needs to look at Oyston and Blackpool. Should have been an easy win. Doesn't boost our confidence at all and don't think we'll be any better about the Swindon match.

Marks:- Alnwick - 6 - nothing to do Wilson - 5 - a few pushes forward in first half but some rank bad passing Taylor A - 6 OK but nothing to excite Wheater - 6 - up against a tall but limited forward. Dominated him Derik - 6 - played at centre back - a couple of panics but fine. Thorpe - 4 - beaten too often and little or no positive play Vela - 7 - kicked the opposition too much - booked. A couple of excellent link ups with Clough Henry - 6 - started well but got lost in midfield congestion Ameobi - 3 - greedy. No awareness of colleagues Clough - 6 - still struggling a bit but lovely, and rare, move when he hit the post Proctor - 5 - spends too much time out wide. I know he runs the channels but there is no-one in the middle |

I’ve just read Marc Iles’ report on last nights match.
We must have been at two different matches.
To say “A measly 1,589 turned out in the latest instalment of the Checkatrade Trophy fiasco but those who did will be glad they made the effort.” is ridiculous. I was so bored.
And “Sammy Ameobi scored the night’s only goal, the least he deserved for a fine individual performance”. Well it was OK for 30 minutes then awful.
“Wanderers’ build-up was inventive, if at times a little over-elaborate” – only for 30 minutes!
He does eventually concede that “Henry and Ameobi started to cough up possession”.
Overall it was poor.
We cut out the endless hoofing of the ball but spent more than half of our possession just passing it across and backwards between the back 4 and the keeper.
Blackpool, like us, played an under strength team and it showed. We had 3 shots on target. That says a lot. We just do not create.

A combination of lethargy and it being an early kick-off resulted in my not going last night...a win is a win, but it appears to have been uninspiring, perhaps mirroring the competition which is a good example of how to ruin a simple format that didn't need messing with. I hope I remember to set my alarm early for Saturday, and to take a good book for the journey, if not the match! As regards Warnock, one can only speculate what he might have been able to produce from the Wanderers current squad...he would always have been able to take his pick from whichever clubs were stuggling in the Championship so never really any chance of him coming to us.
