Going for the drop - Blackpool 4/4/15 (h)

[TANGODANCER]

A flying charge in and shot from,,,Jason? and it's in the net. Great start for us because we always play better when losing....er, don't we...?

[TANGODANCER]

Not going to plan, so far. Do we have a plan, by the way? Bannan, Ream, Mills, Vela all playing "over to you Claude" before we lose it and here they come again. Not really what we had in mind because we were going at them from the off....I think. WAKE UP WHITES.......

They clear and get a free kick off Vela, then Feeny gets a yellow. Good stuff. Here they come again and we clear and.....Roschina wins a free kick and......Alf wins a second free kick to a few jeers. and....it's a Mills header and a Ream volley..... deflected and....a corner. And.....short and...Alf gets offsided.

[xxxxxx]

What the feck is going on?

They're fecking bottom of the league for a reason. They've been all over us. There's no way we should be losing this.

[xxxxxx]

I honestly don't think I can bare us losing to Blackpool. It's a just a team I really hate with a passion.

[TANGODANCER]

And now......Bannan and....Alf has a shot caught by Lewis. And....Bannan and Roschina combine and.....offside again. Corner them and......in and......Ream clears but another and a free header gets missed by them. Who are the relegation candidates?

[xxxxxx]

Seriously Lennon, sort it out now! It's Blackpool not Bournemouth.

This is truly awful!

[TANGODANCER]

Feeney give another free away and.....Perkins and....here they come and McCarthy knock it over the bar. Another corner them and....Jacobs and....they nearly score again. Deflected for a corner. We really sound to be struggling here. It's all Tangerine till Alf get us a free and.....Ream and Walker and....Walker again and.....ping and pong and it don't sound very good so far. A cunning plot needed and Vela has a dab to no effect.

[xxxxxx]

Why do we always struggle to these? They've always been an awful side, yet we've made look decent everytime we've played them.

[TANGODANCER]

Feeney attempt brings a good save from Lewis. Bannan flagged late and a free them. Alf did well for Feeney. Now then.....Dannas, Ream, and gets a corner and.......and.....Feeney and....cleared to Bannan who wallops it wide. Al we are saying.....is give us a goal. Here they come again and the ref gets a tongue lashing from the voice. N.L "furious". And.....Amos gets fouled and we get a free kick (lucky, claims the man) .....Vela and Feeney doing well before we win a corner. And....Feeney and......OHHHHH...it goees for a goal kick? after a great save from Lewis. And......and......they manage to clear from Walker for a corner after a clever back heel from Alf. And.....sounding better and.....goal kick them.

[TANGODANCER]

Danns, Feeney and......we're pressing and.......another corner and.....Bannan and, they break and....Vela recovers well and they get a corner. Vela did really well to catch Jacobs after getting left for dead. Now......goal kick us. It has to be just a matter of time surely.....and Mills sets Alf off....and Walker...does well and.....Bannan bangs one right at Lewis.

[TANGODANCER]

Time to get level lads, Bannan and Alf and....a corner again. Walker and....nobody there and it goal for a throw them. Big ball from Amos and....ends as a throw to them after five minutes of Pinging and ponging. Jacobs being a nuisance before.....we go...Feeney....wins a throw and....
another throw and.....Ream and....Feeney, Danns, Mills.....now Walker and Vela and....Walker again and...it goes out for a throw them. All sounding a bit disjointed but we get another throw and.....Alf gets decked, and....Jacobs runs at us again and....Ream does well and Amos grabs it and sets us off. Almost half time and not looking like well go in in front......or even level....but...wait a minute....McCarthy, Mills, Bannan, and they get it and come at us. Ninety seconds plus invent time and....we clear. Mills, Bannan, Alf....clogged mightily to no effect. Jacobs being a real pest before McCarthy decks him in a dangerous area. And.....and......and....it only just clears the bar. That's it for part one. 1-0 them.

[Bijou Bob]

From the North Lower: one up front against blackpool??! Really??! Mills is having a mare and but for poor finishing, they've had three free headers on the 6 yard line and could be 4 up. Their keeper has made two world class saves for chances we should have buried.

Tactical change needed in the second half or I fear the worst. Rochina has been anonymous and Feeny can be summed up by the words, step over, step over, fail.

[TANGODANCER]

Think it's Aqua Marina and Stingray we need not Lady Penelope and Blunderbirds. As ever, we hand out surprises, but not always pleasant ones. Come on lads, fingers out and at em. COME ON YOU WHITES....... ..

Half time man's advertising next year's season tickets. Not really an opportune moment, but...here we go with Part II.

[xxxxxx]

It's truly shocking.

There's games you can't lose.... and this is one of them. I still dont rate Mills, think we'd be better without him.

[TANGODANCER]

P.C Froze for a minute then, but nowt missed except Heskey has replaced Roschina? Here they come again at us and.....Danns does well before Perkins fouls ? and we get a free and.....and...we get a corner. Time we made one work and.....McCarthy misses it badly.

[TANGODANCER]

A Tangerine throw and....Walker does well. Getting a bit of good press before Bannan then Alf lose out. Feeney and.....they clog it out of a corner. Come on......Feeney and....cleared for another corner. No good unless we take advantage and....Walker and......and...goal kick them. "Lowly Blackpool?", well they're beating us right now mate!. And....and...they get another corner off Bannan, controversially. And........just over the bar. How many is that?

[TANGODANCER]

We sally forth and...Walker and..a throw and....cleared and another throw and Ream and....Alf..and...they clear it. Bannan does well and.....OHHHHHHH, Lewis saves well again fron Walker and we get another coner.....poor one and we go again and.....Alf and Heskey just miss out. "Second best by a long way" claims the man (is he a Manc?) Now they come and...Amos grabs and fires us away. 17,000 crowd claimed. Unless we change things that won't last long. And.....the Tangs clear for a corner....and.....and.....Ream and....Vela....and...Walker...loses out but we still have it and....it's all us. Walker getting some rough treatment out there. Mention of some Icelandic legend coming on? And....that Jacobs lashes one just wide....

[TANGODANCER]

And......Bannan hits the post from six yards after Alf sets him up.

[TANGODANCER]

And now.....and a draw won't do. We want three points. And....get eight strikers on. Won't matter if we win 6-5. Alf and.....chopped. Clarke gets a yellow for a deliberate foul. Free kick us and....Bannan and....Feeney ....misses a chance. Goals are all that count and it's another corner and....ref says a goal kick them. Walker leaves to applause, replaced by Craig Davies.

[TANGODANCER]

Feeney goes right but they clear and now have a corner. COME ON WHITES.........and Mills clears and we get a goalkick. Not sounding too good at all. We can't take advantage of chances and now they get a throw but Bannan comes away with it and....Clarke make a great challenge and we get another corner......and......and....they clear after two attempts from Ream. Ref ignores a big appeal for a foul on C.D.Officials not getting any medals. Jacobs again but we clear. And......ohhhhhhhhhh just over the bar from C.D.
