Diabolical, is what I would describe your comment, you either dont understand football, or didn’t watch the game, and just want to be a troll!
We were lucky to get 3 points today, going into this game, we were a team low on confidence after 5 defeats on the bounce, and we were not great, but nowhere near diabolical.
We stuck at it, got some luck, stayed in the game, and our GK pulled off some great saves and end result, we won away 2-1 and got 3 points.
Well played Orient, sometimes you have to win ugly and that’s what we had to do today.

Re: Exiles thread - Blackpool (A)
In fairness, we were actually pretty decent in attack, but defensively we were poor and exerted very little control over the game from midfield.
Fair score would've been 5-3 Blackpool.

Re: Exiles thread - Blackpool (A)
Our goal led a charmed life, combo bad misses by ‘pool and good saves by Keeley kept them down to just a solitary goal.
At the other end Charlie could well have had a hat trick.
We sure needed that and now we can regroup, welcome players back from injury and give the remaining games a good go.

Re: Exiles thread - Blackpool (A)
How their guy missed that sitter, around 5 mins from the end of normal time, was amazing.
He tried to be a clever sod, and chip Keeley, but his chip was terrible.
Had he side footed it, he'd have scored easily.
The camera showed Bruce, looking perplexed just after
An incredibly lucky let off for us.
Talking of Keeley, he was very good today, after a few iffy performances of late.
Well done to the lad

Re: Exiles thread - Blackpool (A)
We were by far the better team first half, had all the ball but didn’t create much, Blackpool had the chances and should have been ahead.
Second half was just bizarre. Scoreline could have been anything. We properly rode our luck for once.

Re: Exiles thread - Blackpool (A)
He was good, for sure, but I don’t recall any saves he made that I wouldn’t have expected him to make.
Maybe the one at the end of the first half from the close range header?

Re: Exiles thread - Blackpool (A)
Another good win but we have lost too many points recently to be in with a chance of the play offs, although I would love to be proved wrong.

Their keeper and CBs are really poor. Bloxham would have a field day against this lot

Think it was Cooper’s horrendous mistake that let the guy through with what should have been a simple lob over Keeley.Qin wrote: ↑Sat Mar 15, 2025 5:46 pm How their guy missed that sitter, around 5 mins from the end of normal time, was amazing.

As others have said, we haven’t had much luck in recent weeks, so it’s nice to see things even out.

Re: Exiles thread - Blackpool (A)
Keeley & Kelman rightly got the plaudits yesterday but a more than honourable mention must go to Jordan Brown who put in a real shift yesterday.
A really good performance from him, well done Jordan.

Yet again. Think I mentioned him as POTS contender after Omar’s injury enforced absence and didn’t get much agreement.

Re: Exiles thread - Blackpool (A)
The Blackpool lad who did the terrible chip was Jake Beesley, son of Paul Beesley, briefly of this parish. bought for 175k and sold for 300k less than a year later. One of our better pieces of business.
