Why not Helik and put Nakayama to left back? And if he can’t play half an hour, why’s he on the bench? I was thinking it allowed Nakayama to go central, putting Ruffels at LWB = round pegs, round holes. Also fresh legs replacing Ward. |

Test that fucking watch before the Ref dissapears down the tunnel I find it f*****g bewildering that on the face of it they did NOTHING to test if the technology failed. Surely when there is so much evidence to suggest it MIGHT have, you test it.... ....but Radio Leeds said they didn't.... |

Anyone who thought we played well must have low low standards . We were the better of the two teams but Blackpool were like us under the Cowleys.
Very baffling tactical decisions - if helik wasn’t fit then shouldn’t have been on the bench , if he was then he should have been on over ruffels.
Ward and Rhodes should have been up top together after 55 minutes at most and Sorba and Tino should have flipped wings.
Thought Rudoni looked good again and Turton played well . Pat Jones looks a real prospect too

Overall we look devoid of confidence throughout the entire team.
We lost possession on so many occasions today it was frightening.
The club recognised the need to bolster the defence and acted on it.
Can only think they hadn’t noticed that we are woefully inadequate in midfield.
Rudoni is wasted playing so deep, I’m very impressed with him, he’s probably the only player who is close to being consistent.

Why are we not scoring set pieces? I don’t know the answer, are we missing Matty Pearson? Will Helik have the same effect?
And where feck is Mahoney our new set piece taker?

We have a squad of decent players. A little short in midfield maybe, but the right combination would see us right. However, we have neither a style of play, organisation nor any confidence. We are this season's Barnsley (from last season) unless there is a coach/managerial change at a point in the near future.

You have seasons where it feels like you're going to score from every set piece and your keeper will make worldy saves and not make a single mistake. Then you have seasons which are the complete opposite |

In addition to the comment I made in another thread about Hogg basically being played as a CB, one other thing that's pissing me off is we literally have just 2 strikers, and the routine is 1 starts, 1 on the bench, and one replaces the other every game pretty much. A game like today, losing 1-0, what is the fucking point of taking one off and putting the other on. Go for it. We're already losing, why not take off a defender or midfielder and play both of them up front, even just for the last 10mins. Go for it. Because the manager doesn't have the faintest clue what he's doing. |

Danny needs to go back to the b team to coach.
We need a proper coach/manager ASAP or we will go down.
Dean you should sell up & let us move on. All the respect in world Deano, but it is game over now. Fooked us up in the long run haven't you. I want my money back now (Deano) Fooking boo fooking hoo. My fooking heart bleeds for you, not!
PMSL
Say what you want. I don't give two flying fooks. At least Phil didn't sign Mbenza & his mates 💯😹
FOOK OFF 🔵⚪🔵

The thing is..after a decent window this squad is capable of a top half finish. But we have a conference manager and it’s not his fault that Dean threw him in because he’s tight fisted. I hope he walks for his own sake It was a better transfer window when it ended due the the management playing down the amount of transfer activity needed but it was never a good window. We are short in attack and in midfield. |

I thought that was strange - ruffels on then playing in the back three with nakayama still at LWB. There must have been some logic but it escaped me. |

The positive today was we were much better at the back as a unit. The only 2 chances Blackpool has was the Kesler mistake for the goal and Nicholls passing them the ball 20 yards out. I can't remember them making anything else. We struggled to create and Blackpool sat in. If that goal is given we may well have found it easier to get that winner as it would have forced them out. I'm still baffled why we'd take Sorba, our most dangerous player, from a position where he was all over them and switch him flanks and drop him back. Just odd. Don't you think that Blackpool knew that they did not have to attack with any intensity they could just play quite conservatively knowing that we would mess up. Also they knew we can not score goals. |

Any comment from the EFL on why our goal was deemed not to have crossed the line?
Assume it'll just be ignored like our two clear penalties at wembley.

I don't think Blackpool's game plan involved relying on the officials failing to spot whether the ball has crossed the line. I agree. If we got a draw would that have made everything all right? We have had posters on here indicating that when we have been appalling but only lost by one goal we were almost OK. We have not been close to OK this season and if a few people think that loosing by one goal mean that we are not that bad have not been watching how poorly we have played. Do you think we are nearly OK? |

I hope the coaches are working on where the players heads are. They’ve lost all confidence, the longer that’s not addressed it’ll spiral & the infighting on the pitch will start.
I’m always loathe to criticise management as it’s a tougher job than it looks, but we look a complete shadow of what we were last season, in all departments.
Massive re-build job when it really shouldn’t have been needed.

We did score 1 today. Us making mistakes like the goal today or the poor passes isn't a set up issues it's individual player mistakes. Previously this season we didn't have a defensive structure. We did today. |

Are we turning into bcfc with these ridiculously over inflated attendances? We’ve been laughing at them for grossly overly exaggerating theirs for years. |

Sadford shitty have been peddling this big crowd bollox for years. It was more that many more performances like today and supporters will start dropping off in numbers. At less than £300 for a season card, you can pick and choose which games you go to. |
