v Blackpool (a) - 31/8/22

[Miller11]

Don Goodman did the summarising on Sky, he’s excellent… comes across really knowledgeable and balanced and not one for hyperbole.

Described Wharton’s performance as “possibly the best debut I’ve ever seen”, or words to that effect.

Possibly one of the best debuts I’ve seen from an academy lad. Oozed class and a football brain steps ahead of others.

Wharton 😅

A great win - fully deserved as well and a very good team performance. It really should've been 2 or 3 so I'm glad we didn't pay the price for those missed chances.

The first 10 - 15 minutes were a tough watch. We didn't look up for it and Blackpool were pressing high, but the goal relaxed the team and it all 'just clicked. I'm glad I was proven wrong with my pre-match prediction!

Hyam was exactly what we need at the back - solid and very good with decision making. Carter also did well. Hope he keeps it up.

Vale impressed me off the bench initially but went quiet as the game went on after his yellow card. Would've been a great moment if that chance of his had gone in. I thought Dolan was also a bit better tonight but he's not a starter for me. Hopefully Hirst can come in and make that central forward role his own.

Great win, back into the top 6. Hopefully we can top this week off with a good end to the transfer window and another 3 points on Saturday! 😄

It's going to be another tight season looking at the first seven games as usual, everyone can beat everyone.

Wharton wow. Buckley watch and learn; They share a lot of the same attributes but young Adam really showed him how to play tonight.

A lot of positive performances and Hirst will fit in nicely through the middle in this team. Just hope Brereton stays and we can beat anyone on our day. 

Makes me wonder how Garrett would do in a Championship game too.... He didn't look too far off Wharton in the Bradford game. 

We've really got a huge array of young quality at central midfield.

Made up for the 3000+ that made the trip, especially after the recent debacles at Reading and Sheff Utd.

Don Goodman said Wharton's debut was one of the best he's ever seen from a young player and he's not wrong. The guy is going all the way to the top. He's like signing a new £30m player! 

Also, there's no way I'd be sending out Carter on loan again. He's ready for championship football. Hyam had an excellent debut alongside him. 

Without doubt our best performance of the season so far. Even the games we've won previously this season I felt we'd not played that well, but tonight we were far superior to Blackpool. 

Let's hope for 2-3 signings tomorrow and another victory at the weekend.

Sky even tried to sell Wharton in this windows in the analysis.  Though I know it was tongue I'm cheek 

[Paul Mellelieu]

Some lovely attacking moves tonight and a deserved three points.

That’s exactly what he said and added what a great future this young man will have in the game.

JDT said Wharton had a descent game but needs to keep on learning ... yeah right!

[roverandout]

Jdt interviews always leave me smiling. Hes the complete oposite to Mowbray 

[Polky]

I can’t wait to watch this game back. Sounds like Wharton ran the show on his first start.

Currently on my honeymoon in Barcelona and due to a thunderstorm we were stuck in our apartment!

How did Hyam get on?

JDT on Wharton: ‘He had a good game. But he needs to learn more’.

He’s certinly keeping him grounded! Love JDT’s interviews. Breathe of fresh air.

Love his cheeky looks into the camera lens

Jdt asking the interviewer if it was a penalty.  Left the interviewer tongue tied

[Herbie6590]

Don’t forget to vote for Adam here…

JDT says 1 or 2 coming in tomorrow. Good players cost money according to JDT when asking about Breo.

Just got back, brilliant tonight. 
 

Carter and Hyam were brilliant. Looked like they’ve been playing together for a long time. 
 

A.Wharton, where do I start? What a talent he is! so calm on the ball, positions himself well and made some brilliant tackles. Get him a long term contract. 
 

Thought everyone one else was good. Hedges was good. Vale looked Sharpe and Pickering had a good game. Was getting forward and stop some crosses. 
 

Really good response from last couple weeks 👏👏

there is no way mowbray would have given adam his debut,he`d have been shuffled off on loan somewhere for 2 seasons

[Bbrovers2288]

Jdt with a very mowbrayesque retort when asked about wharton, hope that doesn’t mean he is similarly on the bench next game
