Grayson said he was to make sweeping changes , well he's made 2 but at least one of them is the aerial threat Gnanduillet.

Does Husband play a bit further forward
for them? Doesn’t necessarily mean anything but on the BBC lineups he’s down towards the bottom of the lineup.

Interesting game this one, cant make it unfortunately but it's a good test I think.  Like the line up, plenty of energy, potentially right to give copps a break.

They've been playing a back 3, so probably in a LM position

Disjointed and scrappy start so far, lots of misplaced passes. Hopefully we find a foothold soon.

Blackpool have just had 3 chances in about 5 minutes, including one very good save from Lawlor. Sadlier has had a range shot in between them go just wide. Still pretty wasteful in possession and not much happening in midfield.

So looking at the Blackpool site the live text is exactly the same, so it's some sort of agency provided text?

Twitter is usually best, get up a page for #drfc and one for Blackpool - not sure what the mainn one for them is?

Poor officials tonight.. too many niggly fouls given that aren’t, and equally as many missed..
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Blackpool
Post by: NickDRFC on September 17, 2019, 09:14:27 pm
We started the second half well but it’s all Blackpool now. Ian Lawlor has done the most Ian Lawlor thing I’ve ever seen when gifting the ball under no pressure to their centre forward before redeeming himself with a save from the one on one presented. Copps about to come on for Sadlier - can the game swing our way again?
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Blackpool
Post by: NickDRFC on September 17, 2019, 09:21:36 pm
Our best chance of the game as a brilliant ball from Whiteman over the top was picked up well by Ennis who rounded the keeper but a combination of a slight stumble, some great defensive cover and maybe a slight lack of composure meant it was cleared off the line.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Blackpool
Post by: NickDRFC on September 17, 2019, 09:22:32 pm
Still hopeful we can get something but they’ve brought Gnanduillet on and could still threaten on the break.

Taylor with a bit of a punt from the edge of the box well saved. May and John have had half chances as well I’m the last 10 mins.

Lovely run by Copps but Ennis was just crowded out in the box - story of the half really. Blackpool have been set up really well and nullified our threat.

Very much a Grayson style that I guess.  For us i guess we can criticise failing to break them down if it finishes a draw?

Feel like if we’d come out of be blocks quicker we could have won fairly comfortably but we struggled to get into our stride until quite late on and then again struggled in the second half for a period. Don’t think another goalless game against a well organised side is too much to worry about it we’ll need to play better if we want to stay at the top end.

To be fair we could have played for 6 hours and not scored, we need a option for a forward

We had good chances.. 3 or 4 which went quite close.. on another day we score at least two with the same players..

I rate Ennis but he needs to have a crack at goal after his first touch on occasions rather than trying to make space for himself and eventually getting crowded out.

the goalie had nothing to do really if any of them went in against us we would be slating the keeper, overall poor and think Moore needs to do what did against Ipswich and change the team to suit the opponents

we need to get it sorted up front sharpish if we don't want to see more of the same.

Don’t think there was any lack of composure Nick.
Ennis did well not to go over under challenge from the keeper but it forced him away from goal.
He did remarkable well to adjust his feet and got a shot away which was going into the top corner until a defender headed it over the bar.
