Match Report: Blackpool rock after sticking it to shocking Notts County


Joe Jones

Notts County were left embarrassed after falling to a 4-0 defeat against Blackpool in Saturday's League Two clash at Bloomfield Road.

The Magpies, buoyed by a large away following out to support their team and enjoy the delights of the town, ended up leaving before the game was over due to a shocking performance against the Seasiders.

Blackpool took the lead after 20 minutes as Kyle Vassell picked up a loose ball after Jamille Matt's shot had been deflected into his path and slotted past Adam Collin from 12 yards.

The hosts continued to put pressure on John Sheridan's charges, who were lucky to reach half time just one goal down.

This was soon rectified by Blackpool, however, as Vassell's shot from 12 yards was parried as far as Colin Daniel, who tapped into the empty net.

Matt made amends for an earlier open-goal miss by thumping home from 10 yards after Vassell's deflected shot broke his way, the Notts defence floundering.

Things would get worse for the visitors as Vadaine Oliver was shown a straight red after 79 minutes for a bad tackle on Tom Aldred.

And to cap things off, the Tangerines struck a fourth when Vassell robbed the ball Louis Laing and placed it past Collin for his 10th goal of the season.

So much for us going to thrash them and how much better off we are as a club, all these things make me cringe. That said, many of the travelling fans and at home deserved better - just take things game by games and avoid expecting 'easy' games because even this squad needs help.

Hopefully John Sheridan will finally quit backing some, giving others a chance to feature.

I mean Alan Smith upfront? What's going on there, it didn't work the last time we tried it.
