AFC Blackpool against Barnoldswick on a Thursday night what more coulld ask for apart from, hailstones, snow, wind and rain which were all in abundance at Jepson Road, Blackpool last night. A magnificent attendance of 39 including one Oxford United fan who was on his way to stay with friends in Barrow before making his way up to Brunton Park on Saturday for United's vital promotion game with the Cumbrians.
AFC fight against relegation had stalled recently, having lost to the two clubs below tham they relly need to win at least two of their last five games to avoid going down, this was not going to be one of them as Barnoldswick in reality cruised to a 3-0 against the home side.
Warning side we already flashing when Barlick had a goal disallowed within the first couple of minutes for pushing at a corner. The next time a cross came over Threlfall got above the defence and headed home. For 25 minutes the home side were awful and playing completely the wrong tactics, lobbing the ball towards two small forwards against two towering defenders only one outcome easy pickings for the visitors defence.
Eventually the home side played the ball on the floor had a couple of efforts on goal but the visitors stronger and tallers players always seem to have the edge.
Within 10 minutes of the restart another cross and another goal, this time Beckwith nodded home. Thge home battled gamely on had half chances although they should have pulled a goal back when a poorly struck corner was put wide of a gaping goal by an AFC forwrd.
Throwing caution to the wind AFC were getting caught on the break and sure enough Threlfall made it three from the inside right position ten yards out with the last kick of the game.
To be fair to the home side they have just played six games in the last 10days and have four more to play until a week on Saturday, so there are bound to be some tired legs and given thay have too work for a living it is becoming a tough ask for them to stay up.
But still got points to play for and will possibly there again next week for the local derby against Squires Gare.
