Ratings Blackpool

[Long slender neck]

Lets hear em

[Long slender neck]

Keeley 7 dealt with everything
James 6 not his best but still nicked a goal
Beckles 6
Happe 7 dominated in the air
Currie 7 got forward well first half, faded second
Warrington 5 anonymous
Pratley 7
Galbraith 6
O'Neill 7
Agyei 8 great strength and assists
Perkins 6 right place right time for the goal but not involved much otherwise

[Celtient]

Didn't realise Warrington was on the pitch until he came off. 5 seems generous. Otherwise your ratings look about spot on

[gshaw]

Keeley 7 dealt with everything

From the posts in the match thread sounds like he deserves an extra point for a vital save earlier on

[PKM]

Kelman 10
Super sub, we desperately needed that second goal

[The Reverend]

Agree with these, although I’d give Perkins a 7. He actually won a fair few arial battles and offered something on the wing. Who’d have thought a goal against a conference south team could turn someone into a completely new player.

I actually made a point of watching Warrington exclusively for a 10 minute period between the 55th and 65th minute. I am not exaggerating when I say that he touched the ball during this spell a grand total of 0 times. Unbelievable for a central midfielder. Having said that, still an improvement on Brown who, when he does get the ball, either passes it backwards or loses it.

Happe had a great game. Totally bullied their number 9. Nice to see Agyei back to being himself too.

I’ve said since he signed that Kelman should be an impact sub not our starting striker. Today demonstrated that nicely.

[EliotNes]

Currie didn’t fade in the 2nd half, deserved the MOTM from the match sponsors, otherwise about right.

Perkins always had something about him, I expect he will become an important player for us this season.

[Proposition Joe]

Keeley - 7
James - 5, goal can't paper over a poor display
Happe - 6
Beckles 7
Currie - 8
Pratley - 6
Galbraith - 6
O'Neill - 7, bit more like it
Perkins - 7
Agyei - 8, two great assists, looked sharp

Subs: all 6s apart from Obiero and Donley as a bit unfair to judge them on 55 seconds each.

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Weirdly I see something in Warrington. We press better when he’s in the team and perhaps need his youthfulness next to pratley. He needs to get up to speed.

Word for Keeley who made that one on one save which would have changed the games. You don’t often see keepers make those sort of saves but he stood up really well

I agree, not sure what he has to do to get more matchday involvement but what does this have to do with today's ratings?

You didn’t give him a rating. Are we to believe he wasn’t on the pitch?

[Proposition Joe]

Eh? Why would he get a rating today? Sweeney and Hemming didn't get one either. What's your point?

[cockhat]

Well if he pissed you off that much score him a zero!
You certainly know how to rub salt in. If he reads this board then he would no doubt think you are a total pr*ck!

[RBMarshall]

Can't see how Currie out scores Galbraith by 2 points, that's madness.
Not a massive fan of Warrington but I suspect his defensive midfield role meant he stayed extremely defensive as Blackpool did get numbers forward quickly on the counter attack.
When rating players the tactics Richie has given them should be taken into account, and today, they clearly worked. Warrington has promise.

Where have I given anyone a 0? I don't know why you're making things up or digging out a young player like this? Get behind the players.

We only started with 10 players
Now that's genius coaching from Wellens

Childish!
Totally unfunny! Don’t bother replying.

[HenleyO]

Good to see something like the real Dan Agyei back on the pitch

Perkins was a massive improvement on what we’ve seen previously

I can guarantee that he doesn’t read this board. And even if he did he wouldn’t give a sh*t about what anyone on here says.

Agree. And if he does, hopefully he won't take comments from the like of cockhat to heart

One goal that went straight through the keeper’s hands, and a tap-in from two yards out. Not quite a “completely new player”. As much as I enjoyed today, and have drunk to excess… in no way is Perkins a completely new player.

Let’s be serious now.

Also: anyone admitting that they ever doubted Agyei needs to be burned at the stake for heresy.

[Scuba Diver]

I thought we were decent overall.

Agyei much better through the centre and caused problems.

Had to score the second goal and we did. That ended the contest.

6 points and two clean sheets from last two home games.
Up The O’s!
