First Team
Two well worked goals for us but for all the praise youngsters have been getting I thought 2nd half showed why experience counts in seeing a game out or finishing a team off. Yes the ref was bad, yes Blackpool were a bad side who couldn't pass but we missed a good chance to put the game to bed then sat off them and gave them confidence and belief that they could get something after looking like they were happy for a 2-0 defeat. We then turned into them 2nd half and won nothing. That is the difference, Kilkenny played well 1st half but all the youngsters faded badly 2nd half and the experienced players like Kelly, Brooks, Marcondes and Billing were non existent 2nd half which didn't help.We lacked any kind of first touch or composure that wouldve easily cut through their defense 2nd half. Blackpool played the gamesmanship well and we must have given away a club record amount of FK's in that game it was embrassing, It must have been at least 50 Free Kicks how naive can you be. In the long run a bad 2 points dropped and the type of game that is the difference between promotion and playoff failure with Fulham and WBA looking strong.
