It took one of theirs to tell us what we saw.
We looked good because they weren`t under pressure.
If we had held the 1 goal lead for a while, then get the second the whole mindset would change.
However they had at least 2 other gears to step up to and we only had 1..... fine differences.
Enjoyable game but blown in the first leg not the second.
I'm over critical of Blackpool at times, the mistakes sometimes take more focus than they should. Sometimes looking for perfection i have to remember its league 1.
I know our strengths but its nice to read about the pace and power comments from some and other fans perspective.
Its always interesting to read the comments, sometimes when oxford had the ball im nervous thinking ffs just get it and keep it ourselves and we were sitting too deep, even though we were never really close in score it was just nervy.
But our strike force is pretty decent, Simms is big and strong and can score all types of goals and Jerry is a pest and a good finisher.
We also have pace and skill in mithchell and others.
When we made changes we took off our best defender and who came on used to be our best defender also but he's not played really in months. Plus other changes to key players like Simms going off, we had some good chances later on and if it had fell to Simms he'd probably put one away.
It was just one of those games where goals were going in, each time you scored it seemed to spur us on and up we went and scored again thankfully for us.
Your not a bad side and with nothing really to lose tonight it felt like the pressure was kind if on us, especially after the early goal, that could have changed the course but the response was first class, snuffed out any hopes early on.
I just think our style can counter yours well on occasion, your passing can be slick but most the problems for us came from longer balls not dealt with when they have been most the season.
Anyways what an atmosphere for only 4k, absolutely hoarse.
Youve just got to keep plugging away and try again next season, you'll be in and around the top 6 I'm sure. Whether with Mr Robinson or not, don't really like him as a character what what I've seen of him and his comments didn't seem to match what we saw in the first leg.
