Well, we shot ourselves in the foot didn't we? We started so well and the came the enforced break (quite rightly) which gave Blackpool the opportunity to reorganise plus the fact that we were quite bad in the second half, it was the worst I have seen Tosin play and that was it. I think Blackpool actually deserved more in the second half. So well done to them. By the way, another dodgy ref today
Thought the whole defence was suspect today. Oh for the return of the much maligned Robinson (by some on this messageboard) and also for a right full back with pace and better decision making than Denis (if Tete keeps getting injured). Tosin hasn't made too many errors this season so can forgive him this one. You could sense their equaliser coming with unforced mistakes in the ten minutes or so leading up to their goal. Blackpool were closing down from goal kicks but we didn't appear to adapt to beating their press mainly through lack of movement. I would have taken Wilson off rather than Kebano. Mitro has to stop running at refs to award a yellow card for every foul the opposition make, mainly as it leaves him suspect of getting sent off plus when he does it the refs appear to ignore any foul on him. The ref today though was diabolical (even if he is on Premier League list), it just reflects the poor standard of refereeing in this country.
Hopefully just a trip; I sense that when Cavalho run and shot hit the post that it was going to be a iffy day (what a run though, shame that he did the hard part but failed with the execution).
Agree, that is about the way I saw the game.
I will add though that it that great effort in the second half by Carvalho had gone in instead of hitting the woodwork we would probably have won the match.
Should have been a red card for the kick to Reeds head. Dreadful ref.
Their number 11 had Reed and Ream on toast all game.

:plus one:
That's what cost us, lead to those stupid passes out from the back
Mr. P. Agree about the ref and reading Mr. Siva's comments, he didn't think much of him either.
Before the enforced break we were taking them apart - had Harry's excellent lobĀ gone in it might have been another goal fest . It didn't - the game changed - we went flat and Blackpool fought hard and deserved their point.
Cannot understand why we didn't mix it up more with Rodak hitting Mitro long every now and then rather than every time passing it out from the back.
Appalling Referee why do they give Championship matches to Prem Referee they are bad enough with VAR!!! straight red for high foot on Reid in any other game š
Completely agree Mr P.
I also thought the Blackpool centre half (not Keogh, the other one) did a decent job.
Interesting comment about the ref, we have had Peter Bankes before and he was equally as bad. Agree the high foot was a red card, saw one given last week for the same thing. What really surprises meĀ in looking at the stats on BBC we got 4 yellow cards and they only got two, yet they committed more fouls.Ā Agree with the Odoi oneĀ but not sure about the Cav and Wilson ones and didn't even see Mitro's. They were far more physical than us and for memory Fab only committed the one and it not really that bad.

Was very disappointed in the lack of adjustments by the back 5 and coaching staff after the 1st break. Blackpool smartly started pressing with 2 instead of 1 and pushed higher up. Fulham were completely unable to adjust.

Maybe we should count ourselves lucky, he has given out five reds this season

Not sure we did anything to warrant a red card and the only yellow I can agree with is Dennis Odoi's. The only red card(s) were for Blackpool with constant fouling by their number 2 and the high foot.
I thought we were right on it after the restart,But the second half after Fabio hitting the post we lost our way ( fair play Blackpool) what we don't do is ground out 1-0 victories we always need thatĀ second goal.

Bang on Mr. P. Glad to see you are progressing health wise.
Referee was shocking...
