Half time 14 -6 to Blackpool .

blackpool 26 vs 12 Dons as of 62 mins

From 14 - 12 to 48 - 12, doesnt sound too good . Noted Henry & Leaf missing from the team .

Another hard game to come Bank Holiday Monday v Oldham.

More second half capitulation............
I suppose there is some excuse at Blackpool, but it's still a garbage second half.

I am sure we will push Oldham a lot closer............need to sort out our fitness/mental attitude though.....it's very worrying this second half fizzling out.

COYD.

Blackpool have really improved over the last couple of seasons and have some decent players there now.

Not much consolation but the report in the Yorkshire Post states the score flattered Blackpool.

There was a key moment for me in the second half where Collins was a few inches off a try (ball had just gone dead following a kick through) they then went up the other end and scored. That seemed to turn the whole game

I do however think the score was a little harsh on us

At 14-12 and 20-12 we had chances but either bombed them or were a touch unlucky, however a couple of back-to-back tries by Blackpool at 20-12 put the game firmly out of reach and we struggled from that point.

A fantastic first half again but we are simply not getting through 80 mins. That said the final score did flatter the Panthers.

Well if that's the case we should be heartened for the Oldham game.
We're gonna win.....you heard it here first.

With the additional backroom staff who have arrived to support Head Coach Tony Miller (we have six on the coaching staff now including TM), the players should be getting more and more quality coaching, information, guidance etc and I do feel that we are improving. We will be a force to be reckoned with once we get to the point that we can compete for the vast majority of 80 minutes.

As far as Oldham are concerned, they will present another difficult challenge. A 64-10 victory over Gateshead Thunder this weekend shows it would be very dangerous for anyone to under-estimate them.
