[Archived] Blackpool Versus Blackburn Rovers

[Nelsta]

Unlucky there hitting the post, we need to grab another before half time.

[Andy]

Samba hits the post, unlucky not to be 2-0 up...

[Dan]

So unlucky there, great free kick in by Pedersen and a great flicked header by Samba.

[MarkBRFC71]

1-0. Don't get excited lads, we've got Big Sam's half-time pep talk to come. And we know what that means for the second half ....

[den]

Wasn't me that said it, it was Sam!!

Anyway, right now you are right and I hope you remain so. Nervous though!

so am I.

This is why we need to get a few more goals before the dreaded half time team talk!

Technical problems with TV here in Aus, can get some games but noothing from bloomfield road. Know we are winning one nil but can somebody please give more info

[Nelsta]

Good first half, could've been a couple up.

Now we leave it to the dreaded half time team talk and a nervy 2nd half.

[Amo]

Olsson has only recently gotten over his injury. Also, the two Dioufs should definitely be starting as their form has been really impressive so far.

I'd say their form has been decidedly mixed.

whats the link? Maybe it's different then the one at the top of the page?

[Mr. E]

Dreaduflly unlucky not to be 2,3-0 up. We've been the better team, even if there is little actual football being played. But now comes the 2nd half...oh boy.

[Wilky]

Charlie Adams scored an home goal

[john.leigh]

chat ain't working at this end either

[philipl]

Oh no, it's the Sam half time team talk. :!:

Blackpool started well for the first 5 or so minutes, Samba had a goal unfairly disallowed for Kalinic "fouling" the keeper on a corner, we started to dominate, Adam scored an own goal, Samba hit the post from a great Peds free kick and Kalinic fired just wide after a good move. Mostly typical Sam football but it's working and Blackpool havent looked like scoring since the first few minutes.

Our diouf hasn't been too bad this season, probably one of our better players. M.Diouf i have been impressed with his work ethic but overall he hasn't been that great imo. To be fair though he is probably being played out of position, doesn't look like a winger/wing forward to me and i would rather see him up front with Niko but we all know that will never happen.

[Graves]

blackpool started well and had one cleared off line by salgado but blackburn been the best side, especially last 20 min where we been well on top, playing some good stuff mixed in with the hoofball. Brilliant finish for goal by Charlie Adam(always head it down:)

Samba hit post

Niko snapped one just wide

Robinson Had nothing to do

I thought EHD has playing very well along with Niko

Now for the team talk...........

We've missed the whole bleedin' first half, Foxtel are getting a rude letter and claim for a refund on Monday, useless tw@ts.

Only got to see the last 7 or 8 minutes but looked like they had 2 men on EHD. Rovers looked to be in control.

All this talk about Sam's teamtalk - ever thought that it might be more to do with the opposition manager's teamtalk?

If you're winning and doing well at half time, your teamtalk can't be much more than 'more of the same boys'.

All this talk about Sam's teamtalk - ever thought that it might be more to do with the opposition manager's teamtalk?

It's also downright unsporting for opposing teams to change their tactics and formation in the second half.

You have to accept that as far as the blinkered few on here are concerned, every goal and point we concede is Allardyce's fault.

Currently 7th in the league if things stay as they are and with two winnable games coming up against Stoke and Sunderland...early days but funny how one win might change our outlook, especially since all the sides we've played before today have been good sides (though Everton have been in poor form).
