Oliver Casey

Seven.

Nick, Ollie, Casey.

Nah, it's just okay.

Yeah,

He got a booking, didn't he? I'll have to go for a six just based on not being able to move him any higher or lower.

Oli Casey, I think, Nick, one of our few standout performers of the day.

Certainly the key defender for Blackpool.

Yeah, but ultimately we've shipped three goals, haven't we? So we've got to be realistic.

happened that Tim's nephew... was and still is a professional footballer.

He was playing for Blackpool, Oliver Casey, a really good centre half.

And he arranged us tickets.

We were in the Blackpool end at the very end of the stand.

This is a 4-4-2 from Fort Maub.

Williams, Casey, Earl and Hamilton across the back.

Four, Bowler, Honeyman, Morgan, Anderson across the middle-ish and Bloxman, Charles.

Up front, but of course, we've not discussed our two new signings since when we last came on Monday.

Two quick-fire goals, 19th minute, Jordan Williams.

I've penned in my match notes, opportunist finish.

Jordan Williams, sister Molly Casey, and not long after that, who'd have thought it would go 2-0 up? It's a bit like watching England beat Mexico.

Leon Charles, another opportunist, poachers finish, I think I put.

Yeah, certainly was.

Nick, what was the, uh, mood in the pub when this dropped, the starting lineup? Have, have FotMob, FotMob got the actual formation correct there, would you say? Peacock-Farrell in net, Casey and Ashworth, two center halves.

Williams right back, CJ left back.

[chuckles] So I don't know what's going on there.

When there's the breaks, I guess.

Yeah.

In my, in my match, match notes then I've got Ollie Casey free header from a corner, heads over, should've scored, and then four minutes later, Jack Diamond, a real player this lad for, for Stockport, an absolute free header from a corner whipped in.

I had me head in me hands.

Um, and, and I think Evatt's made no secret of, of that, that at times, you know, at home we kind of want to play like Stockport did in terms of, um, dominating possession and try to dictate the play, but Evatt always talks about having a, a purpose and it, it- It appeared and felt pretty quick and obvious to us that we were more than happy for them to have the ball as long as they were going, going out wide.

Um, because you mentioned earlier about Ollie Casey, uh, before we came on pod.

He was immense, and he absolutely mopped up everything in the air against some serious aerial threat.

And as long as it didn't come centrally through us, um, they, they didn't really tend to, to cause too, too many issues from that central area.

Um, he was calm, solid.

Him and Williams are just the perfect left and right-sided center halves in the back three.

I think the contest is gonna be between Horsfall and Casey from here on who plays that central role because at the moment Williams and Ashworth, the shirts are theirs and someone better be putting in some bloody good performances to take it off them because there's no justification whatsoever for Ashworth to be dropped out of this team at the moment.

Huggy, are, are you of the same mind? Do you keep...
