Arrived back from Blackpool about an hour ago and still buzzing after Eastwood's last ditch winner!
The game was a tale of two halves to be honest. We totally dominated the 1st half and the game should have been over at half time. Once we got the ball on the deck and started to pass it we played round Blackpool with little difficulty. Gower hit the post after a great cross from Jupp and a number of other chances went begging before Bentley nodded in after 2 great crosses from Gower, the first cross was cleared off the line before Gower picked up the rebound and the rest is history. Gutts and Eagle particularly stood out for me in the 1st half. Blackpool looked a very very poor side.
Blackpool made two changes at half time and these seemed to inspire the home side. We sat back and let Blackpool come at us, they were a totally different team. We were really on our back feet for a considerable amount of time and the players not surpringsly looked tired. I think it was Edwards who got turned and nutmegged and the cross came in and the ball fell to Parker who turned the ball in with 75 mins on the clock.
Enter Fredy Eastwood! Eastwood collected the ball on the half way line and with no other support ran at the right full back before selling him a dummy shifting the ball to his right foot to bury a low drive from 18 yards in to the bottom left hand corner. Not sure how he managed to get it in to the bottom left as he was shaping to put it across the keeper, a great finish, cue mental celebrations!
So we start 2006 TOP OF THE LEAGUE. Great following today, looked approx 500 to me?
Roll on Oldham, another home game for Stockport Shrimpers!!
