A game of four quarters really. You had our excellent offloading and support play right across the park, some first class long distance bullet passes going straigh to hand and being caught. Then you had Blackpool who chose not to turn up and looked a fraction of the team we played at their place, then you had Blackpool put a spurt on to grab a couple of tried, then you Keighley get dead cocky, lazy, irresponsible (call it what you will) and we let another 12-16 points in.
We need the Keighley we saw which threw it around with accuracy, where the ball was played quickly and where each player supported the man next to him. Then we will beat anyone. We know we can do it.
In the second half Biss made a run, got up with the guys on his back played the ball, Will took the ball and got up quick and played the ball and between them made 25 very quick yards. Then the next two tackles there was no interest in getting up and playing the ball by which time Blackpool were set and already running at us, low and behold a meesley 4 yards gained. I would be peeved to do my bit then watch that.
Also (ohhh my soap box has arrived in the 9am UPS delivery), John Pressley is excellent but passes the ball to the next man far too soon. He is quite often 4-5 yards away from the tackle when he passes. No I know he is not a prop and not really designed to take tackles but the one time he waited longer to pass and drew the man in, we scored.
Also thought the pitch should have been soaked before the match.
Ref had an ok game but as others said he penalised high shots so that is good. He needed more help from the linesmen.
