[ARTERRIER]

Really pleasing result and performance despite our 2 minute blip just before half time. The first 15 minutes goal blitz was unexpected and we showed a ruthless streak in putting Blackpool to the sword. Scannell ripped the left back a new arsehole, so much so that he had to be taken off. We seemed to lose our intensity and seemed to take our foot of the gas letting Blackpool back in it with the quick two goal salvo.

I was expecting Blackpool's peckers to be up and was expecting an onslaught from them immediately from the restart but this never materialised and we looked comfortable. Smithies had to make one or two saves, one from the header by Delfueonso and another from a long range effort. Good strike by Butterfield to make it 4-2, we had one or two other good opportunities to extend the lead. One criticism today was at times we just seemed happy to hold possession when it good attacking areas by checking back or going sideways, especially towards the end.I know it's good game management but at times think there are more goals to be had and we just seem happy to slow it down.

Bunn and Scannell were excellent on the wings, Hogg was great in midfield too, hoovering up anything danger. The defence looked solid enough too, Hudson and Lynch excellent.

A win on Tuesday and something from Ipswich and we'll be flying high.
