Thought it was a poor game and if we hadn't had made the breakthrough when we did we could possibly have struggled. I don't really share the enthusiasm for the performance, thought we were pretty average, thought Bristol are easily the worst we've come up against so far and we looked short on ideas as to how to break them down. I know it sounds a little churlish but I wasn't too enthused today, especially with the extremely sloppy period after our 3rd. God knows what Miller is doing where he is heading back towards his own goal,where ge was dispossessed, the lad has to score there. They had started threatening before the goal. The subs made a difference. They were utter shite generally though. |

Think chapmans case for permanent keeper is getting stronger by the game. No way Nicholls would’ve started off the move for the second goal. Thought he was decent today. Very calm and good with his feet. Got the ball out well and played his part in one of the goals. However he nearly dropped a clanger and should have maybe done better for their goal. |

Is he chuff. He's a good player for us. He played well about 2 months ago. All he does is moan to the ref and fall over. Him and miller are complete chalk and cheese, proven today by the fact that turton who has played about 5 times since Carlos left easily replaced him Turton was good. He starts for me though more of a proper full back in a 4 than wingback. |

It takes two teams to make a good game and this wasn’t one of them.
Bristol were poor in just about every aspect and we did enough to win pretty easily despite taking our foot off the gas in the 2nd half.
3 points and a big week ahead that could make us all realise that it’s too early to write this season off.
Matty Pearson was superb today I thought, ably assisted by Lees and really pleased that Bojan got on the scoresheet.

Shite atmosphere today btw It's difficult in these lower key games espcially when you go in front. Fans kind of expect Town to win and for a while it was training ground stuff. I think it's exactly this. I think there is an expectancy that we should be winning. It's not really been good this season at home for any extended periods. |

Also more in the ground ( ignore the fairytale attendance figure) than a lot of games last season. Ps I'd love to know how many are actually at the game. |

Not Blackpool but midweek matches have been well down for years. Including me tbh. |

Shite atmosphere today btw It was, and has been all season and isn’t showing signs of improving. It’s tough, match days don’t have the same energy and vibe currently. Games are poorly attended and for the first time, the south stand is showing real signs of thinning. Even looking over at the usually well populated Kilner bank, it’s clear that it’s thinner than previous seasons. I’m making an assumption here but I saw your? Comment on Twitter about the atmosphere, drum and the CL…. It’s a tough balance and unfortunately as it stands, the fan base just isn’t buzzing. It’s not a fan group not being arsed, there isn’t a lack of effort from the group but the energy and vibrancy isn’t there currently. I’m not going to get drawn into a debate why that is because it’s a 3-1 win and should be enjoyed but it also needs saying that the entire stand doesn’t come under the umbrella of ‘Cowshed Loyal’. It’s currently running on about 30 lads. Its a dead horse and that sounds weird saying when you’re 3-0 up but being in it for ten years now I’ve never known such a strange atmosphere like I have seen this season. |

The CSL lads are doing a great job. Atmosphere still better than it ever was before. Unfortunately I think the fan base thinks we should be walking games and then when are do still go a bit mute. Div 3 and the majority think we’re above it |

Couple of experienced heads in that Rovers team that have caused problems in the past Jack Hunt , Scott Sinclair and Chris Martin . Hopefully we set up similar to Barnsley knowing that a win here is key going into a 3 game week . Chapman Spencer Pearson Lonwijk Sorenson Kasumu wiles Kane (if fit) Miller Marshall Radulovic My hesitancy is after international break we’ll rest Marshall and Spencer and bring in lees and Ladapo/Ward 3-1 town - Pearson Wiles and Radulovic I’ll take that for a prediction!!! |

I’m also hoping we can try and beat today’s record of only 8 pages. Amazing how quiet things go when we play decent and win

Not Blackpool but midweek matches have been well down for years. Including me tbh. Disagree re the crowd. I'd honestly say the South and Riverside have looked fuller this season to last for the run of the mill matches. I can't judge the KB cos I'm in it. |

Even got starting lineup right (ok Lees for Spencer, but taking into account you posted that before you knew Spencer was suspended). Mystic Durham Terrier! I’ve been critical of Lees this season (and most of last season) but thought he was very good today, unlucky not to score and showed some excellent touches particularly in the first half, fair play to him |

Shite atmosphere today btw A lot to be said for Duff's comments. He made similar remarks after Barnsley. A lot of truth in them, in my opinion. The atmosphere will return eventually. |

Think Duff needs to get his own house in order before criticising the fans. He’s been generally poor this season but thankfully has now dropped his stubbornness and sorted out the gaping holes in the midfield for the last two games and we’ve looked better with a midfield two playing alongside each others with only one cm in a more advanced position. Today maybe the fans went flat after 60 because they were witnessing more bizarre tactical decisions from him, it was crying out for subs for a multitude of reasons but he spent 17 minutes not seeming to have a clue what to do. |

Regardless on the opposition, a win is a win.
Good to see the lads putting in a good hour and seeing players at the top of the field getting amongst the goals.
We still look fragile defensively on the transition.
Ill take a point on Tuesday.
Think the club and manager needs to realise it's going to take some consistency on the field for the fans to start to actually believe in the team again!

Don't think Duff is really criticising the fans. It's a bit like when a club gets in the habit of losing, it's hard to shift it. We've on the whole been shit barring a couple of seasons for the last decade or so, the fans are kind of used to that, and obviously that needs to change, but it's not the work of a moment to suddenly get an amazing atmosphere. Hopefully better performances, more wins, fighting for promotion, will lead to a better atmosphere

Town need to do something unexpected…… like being 2 down at Wrexham with 15 minutes to go and fighting back to win 3-2 with a last kick of the match penalty. Something like that can kick-start the atmosphere.

He isn't criticising - he's very rightly observing that the atmosphere is fairly muted, and acknowledging that that's because of what the fans have been put through the past few years. He's saying the team need to rebuild the trust and energy to create a buoyant atmosphere, and he's absolutely right. |

To turn the atmosphere point around, I recall there being many complaints about the lack of atmosphere when playing away at many top PL grounds. Could that not have been because the home fans expected their team to win, and, so, felt no need to demonstrate their support. Other than turning up?

Always amused that a good performance...certainly for most of the game....gets 8 pages. 20 pages min at this stage if we'd have lost.
Essentially I'm encouraged. Bristol were awful most of the game but we were good. Some decent passing and transition. Second and third goals are simply excellent moves at any level.
Kane the missing link in midfield...I actually haven't seen much of him live so far this season for various reasons but impressed. Reminded me of Mooy a little in him often finding space and time.
Bojan is at his level....not championship material but linked well, battled,ran and looked a threat in the box.
Marshall is a pest. Got something about him...be interesting to see how his career develops.
Special mention for Turton...that was like some of the performances in the coberan season where he was composed and a threat as well as defensively good.
Yes we dropped off in the second half....felt we could have made a couple of changes earlier as any team....however bad...looks better when they gain confidence.
Let's not fear Wrexham....when we were confident in the last 20 minutes of the first half we can beat them. Let's go with confidence

You can’t manufacture the atmosphere.
This happens when fans are thrilled, taken aback by seeing a great piece of skill, a swashbuckling run down the wing, a great long range pass and a period of sustained attacking play.
When these things happen the crowd bursts into life and roars the team on.
As we get better, Duff will realise that you can’t beat the atmosphere at this ground.
