Well played Blackpool

[GStar]

I'd go more than fair play... they battered us for the majority of the game today.

We're getting the kind of luck we need to challenge for the title though, so no complaints from me.

Blackpool, on the form so far, i'd be hoping for top 10 finish.

 

[Deepest Blue]

They were pretty good, weren't they?

Keeping hold of 'Olly is a must, though. If he "does a Coyle" and heads off to a richer club when the right vacancy comes along then it would be disaster.

 

[Momentum]

Blackpool put a lot more effort into that game than City did but what worried me, was what Blackpool would have done with a bit more confidence in front of goal. They had plenty of chances and at least twice late on we got short staffed at the back and their strikers got wrong side of our centre halves. City very much rode their luck today and Blackpool had a lot more of the ball, they just run out of ideas or hit too many defenders as they got close to goal.

All said great to get three points from that game and it will teach Mancini a lot that he can hopefully analyse, and get us in better shape for the next two critical games.
