    It's a fucking shit service blocking all Overseas viewing because they've sold the rights to a couple of countries. It can't be that hard to coordinate where the games are being shown. It's not even on paid channels out here. I can find a stream easily enough but there's been a lot of games not...

    I feel he goes down too easily at other times which might count against him when they're genuine.

    Moore 8 - Solid and +1 for his assist Kane 7 - Best attacking outlet we had today, outside of kicking it straight to Gyokeres, but thought his crossing wasn't quite up to his usual standards and got tired fast. Hyam 6 - Steady but nothing spectacular today and got done a bit easily for the goal...

    I'm watching this 2nd half in black and white. With Blackpool having Gerry Yates and Ken Dougall I wanted an authentic 1960s football experience.

    Rylan Clark-Neal is eventually going to punish us from one of these free kicks around the box if we're not careful.

    Would be a good game for Jones today too I think. Lot of space between the lines to exploit and Sterling and Keogh have looked uncomfortable back peddling.

    I think we'll see Allen soon but for Sheaf, not Shipley. :(

    We're lucky we scored when we did. Blackpool were already dropping 11 men behind the ball as soon as they scored and Bowler was time wasting when he was down for 2 mins after almost no contact.

    For a guy with a bit of a reputation, Gary Madine is very highly manicured. I bet he's got an entire bathroom cupboard dedicated to instruments for shaving his balls.

    We won;t finish the game with 11 players either if the 2 bookings he's given us so far are anything to go by.

    Shipley's first touch on the edge of the box there has gone 2 feet over his own head.

    Absolutely acres of space between the lines of their defence and midfield. Think Allen would be having a field day in place of Shipley here. Dropping into the hole as a 10 is just not Shipley's game.

    Every time Gyokeres has had the ball in a dangerous situation he's tried to run straight through his man. The crossing on the floor has been misplaced. Maatsen has shanked a couple of shots in good positions. O'Hare has made a couple of bad decision around the box. Composure in the final 3rd has...

    Haven't actually created a real chance though, it's all flattering to deceive due to the final ball. Opportunities wasted rather than chances.

    Hadn't noticed, not been able to stop looking at his combover yet.

    Cannot believe how high a line Blackpool are playing with Keogh in their defence. Asking for trouble. Some great football ending with some awful crosses so far.

    We'll either smash them on the back of the confidence from the weekend or we'll be tired and flat and lose. Nothing in between :)

    I mean what the fuck does he have to be nervous about? If he's nervous, he is admitting he has been told we have to sell if a certain valuation was met which is an admission he's not really in control OR it's just a PR soundbite to try and distract from the issue that Robins has no money. Either...

    I think next season is going to be a long hard slog unfortunately, think we've hit the ceiling and we're going to bounce down hard. Can see crowds being well down on this year as both the Championship and CBS/live football novelty wears off, which will mean our already small budget is even...

    You'd have thought we'd have saved enough just on O'Hare's goal bonuses to be able to afford another attacking midfielder.
