Big Ben Burgess Blackpool Number ….

Posted on July 2, 2010
Filed Under Ben Burgess, Blackpool FC | 2 Comments

So Big Ben’s left for League One Notts County which looks like a great deal for him. Love him or hate him he did well for the Pool.

In total he made 83 (43) starts scoring 23 goals. 2 starts (3) in the FA cup with one goal, three starts in the league cup with three goals and two goals in 5 from the LDV.

Best moment? Winning the pen against Preston in the 1-0 win and maybe a few great goals including a cracker last year at Doncaster. Cheers Ben… wonder who’s be the new number 9?

Nottingham Forest 3 – 4 Blackpool (agg 4 – 6) Wembley here we come!

Tonight is one of those nights you’ll never forget. I’ve had plenty of them beating Preston 1-0 twice, a Golden goal by Bully at Huddersfield, 4-3 against Watford away, winning at Birmingham last year, Scunny away this year! but thats been topped by tonight’s 4-3 win at Forest securing a place at Wembley in the Championship Final. I’m pretty knackered but won’t be sleeping for a while as the adrenaline is still pumping around my body and I want to see the highlights on SSN.

We always knew that Forest were going to come at us, but we always knew that we were going to score goals, it was matter of scoring as many or more than the home side. What really proved its worth tonight was a little bit of experience being able to soak pressure and more importantly take our chances.

After Earnshaw slotted in the opener I was surprised that the home side didn’t push on, it might have been a little bit of in inexperience from their part or our middle three starting to get a hold on the game. Forrest didn’t really come out in the second half, DJ took his goal really well, there was the agonising second waiting for the ball to hit the back of the net.

Straight after that Gilk’s pulled off a great double save, at that point you just knew it was going to be our night. Dobbie’s goal came from a great little serge forward from Crainey and a lucky deflection. If that didn’t knock the stuffing out of Forest then DJ’s second  (which was the goal of the night) did end the tie.

His third looked offside but who cares! We now have a great day to look forward to, most importantly we have Charlie Adam without the worry of a yellow card and Cardiff / Leicester should be scared of us.

FInal note and picture has to go to this man, what a job he has done! He’s bursting with pride for his players, we the fans are bursting with pride for him.

Blackpool 2 – 1 Nottingham Forest – Half Time

Wow, what a game today and a great result. It was a really great game to watch with plenty of chances for both side and some great passages of play. A big shout out has to go out to David Vaughan who was outstanding today, not only holding onto the ball but defending too, his pressure on McKenna in the second half was awesome.

Our first goal was well crafted with a great run from Coleman, rather than shooting he found Evatt and with a bit of a scurfy deflected shot from Southern we were back on level terms. Cohen’s goal was a bit of a wonder goal, amazing that two in two games after the goal from Maynard.

The second half we were well on top and deserved the equaliser, we should have gone on to grab another one, hopefully something we won’t go onto regret. I can’t wait for the second leg now!

Play Offs…..Just

In the end we stumbled over the line thanks to Swansea’s inability to score, 40 goals in total this season makes the Swans the lowest goal scorers in the division. Considering we grabbed a 1-1 draw at the Liberty and thrashed them 5-1 at home we deserved the final play off spot.

The atmosphere was great on Sunday, having all three stands makes a difference and the addition of a second drummer in the north really adds to the noise. Whatever the division we are in next season it would be great to see us occupy three ends every home match.

As mentioned we stumbled over the line with not the greatest performance of the season. The rubbish pitch, wind, nerves and Charlie having to twinkle toe around to avoid a yellow all took it’s toll, but with 7th place secured that can all be forgotten.
The first leg on Saturday against Nottingham Forest should be a good match, but one that will be a different encounter to the easy 3-1 win on Saturday. Forest once again rested first team players in the 2-2 draw with Scunthorpe this weekend, Camp, Gunter, Majewski, Earnshaw and Blackstock all started on the bench, I’d expect them all to start on Saturday.

Let’s just hope for some similar scenes at the full time whistle this Saturday!

….I couldn’t make the game today from the photo’s it looked like a another great away day. Swansea were always going to struggle today against Sheffield United, they have trouble scoring generally but there was no chance considering it was Paddy Kenny’s first game back after a ninth month ban. As hard as it is to say, thank to Richard Cresswell for the brace.

It’s been a strange couple of days after it was announced that DJ Campbell had been arrested about a stabbing, if anything it’s just typical he went onto score the winner today.

Role on next weekend which is going to be an epic journey, Friday and Saturday night are going to be spent in Cambridge which means a long drive on Sunday morning can’t wait! Let’s just hope we can match Swansea’s result against Donny! Can’t contemplate thinking about anything after that….

Scunny 2 – 4 Pool FT

Wow what a second half of football and a big result. Scunny came out after half time the better side and grabbed the equaliser from the spot, yet another pen we have given away.

After that it didn’t look like we were going to get a winner. After Fletcher missed a sitter I thought we would end up with a point but the subs made the difference.

David Vaughan played a blinder getting his foot of the ball getting it out wide to Bouazza who crossed for for the third.

Colemans goal was s great piece of individual skill. He dribbled past three from the touchline then lifted the ball over the keeper into goal.

DJ took his goal well, both breakaway goals. Scunny second made the last 10 interesting.

Great away day, with a flare too! Let hope WBA can do the business now against Leciester.

Scunny 0 – 1 Pool HT

Half time and one up thanks to a cracking own goal. A cross from Coleman was cut out, but it was cut out into the bottom corner.

Burgess went close with a header and Dobbie nearly scored from a long range volley.

In the end Gilks pulled of a great save tipping over the bar. All set up for a great second half.

It’s a big weekend of football and a weekend that will shape the end of out season. A win today and on Monday with results going our way will see us in the playoffs.

Today’s pitch at scunny isn’t the best which may be in our favour as our players are used to playing on a poor surface.

Hopefully Brett and Bouazza will be back in the squad today with Vaughan. At the moment on M62 it’s looking dark and wet.
