I was so angry last night after the registration debacle that I decided to wait until this morning to pen my thoughts. We started 4-5-1 with Perkins at left back and Delfouneso as the lone striker. Forrest applied all the early pressure however we were undone by a speculative long range shot that surprised Lewis who I have to say seemed a little flat footed. The rebound off the post was put into the goal by Antonio which was far from easy. The second goal was an excellent curling left foot strike by Burke from outside the box which Lewis could do nothing about. This could have led to an avalanche but the score remained 2-0. This was primarily due to it being hot and the first game of the season as well as Forrest tiring. But we changed formation to a 4-4-2 in the second half and enjoyed more possession and competed far better. I am still seething at the lack of registered players, heads must roll for this calamitous school boy error. A worry that Riga thought it was better to play a midfielder, in Perkins, who does not know how to play left back than a poor left back in Dunne. Overall, it could have been far worse with some flashes of how Riga wants the team to play which is far better than last year but the fact we are suffering from a lack of pre-season there is no doubt. You could see that they wanted to pass and move which was encouraging but not knowing each other caused a lack of understanding and some passes went astray. Lewis came for some crosses which we have not seen in a Blackpool keeper for years, hooray. Also his distribution was sharp and confident if not always executed well but keep it up I was impressed. The fact we didn't ship 5/6 goals is a bonus. Get the signed players registered to add quality to the side otherwise it could be a pointless August. MOTM was McMahon who also captained the side well followed closely by Lundstram who had a very impressive second half. Some nice one touch stuff which was pleasing on the eye without too much penetration or causing Forrest too much trouble. Their CHs will not have an easier afternoon all season. We need to attack with more pace at home and especially against Blackburn. A lovely passing move in the second half resulted in Orlandi curling a left foot shot just wide. The biggest worry is where will the goals come from? Bizarrely, all the signed unregistered players came and sat with the away fans and were in front of me in the first half including Cubero, Orion twins and their agent which was interesting, let's hope the other one signs, three others and Davies.

We do seem to moving from one crisis to another..... How and why players weren't registered is nothing short of amateurish and smacks in face of 'we need to do things better' what next?
From where I'm standing, letting Matt go was a huge own goal - professional to end! |  | | |

Was the arrival of Dom Telford a bigger cause for angst than when Louis Almond came on #nothingchanges |  |
