At least there should be 3 worse teams than us at the bottom I wouldn't bet on it. |

Play a fuking proper back 4 Proper proper wingers. Bring Thomas back. Get a proper centre forward. We don’t have wingers because Duff is so wedded to 3-5-2. Struggling to see what Plan B is for our formation. I know. It clearly doesn't work. Out wing backs are neither wingers or full backs. Barely footballers |

5 defeats in 6. How many games does Duff get to sort it out? Obviously this can't go on too much longer if we want promotion this season Can't keep going through managers. I expect midtable this season to be honest. The core of the squad remains the same and as said previously none of the squad deficiencies have been addressed. The warning signs were there in the first two games so not too surprising to me that we have started losing unfortunately. |

I think the decimal point was in the wrong place with those season tickets…
We’ve scraped home twice, but overall our home form is utterly shite.
Not the way to success really…

If Duff goes then Cartwright has to go and then Kev has to somehow work out how to employ a decent DoF in a sport he hasn't got a clue about. How do we even begin going down that route midway through a season? Don’t worry we will have a diary soon to make amends. Broken record I know but the getting shut of Warnock looks more and more criminal as time passes. |

Great effort Town. So unlucky. I wish. Two awful home performances. I had high hopes for Duff but not sure what he's thinking now. He seems as slow in thought as the players Jesus when ShortbreadPete says it’s been awful you know the club is fucked |

Ladapo and Wiles both need dropping for next game. Evans looked better when he came on. At least showed some fight. Kane didn't look fit. I would start with a midfield of Evans, Hodge and Iorpenda. Bojan at least held the ball up when he came on and had an effort on target. Start with him and Koroma up top. There is no way anyone should be in ahead of Iorpenda now. They have had their chances. |

We go down with a dreadful squad then Nagle thinks he can chuck a few hundred grand at it and we'll bounce straight back up. The guy has no idea what he's doing and sets on people around him that are equally clueless. It's going to be another shit season. Nice one Kev 👍

Well I thought Saturday was bad but somehow we were worse tonight. Squad looks woefully short, if we keep playing 3-5 fucking 2 then we may as well pack it in.

We are incredibly soft in midfield and also in defense. I can see why Hogg does play to add a bit of bite in there, even though he's years past it.
I think Wiles, Kane, Evans, and Hodge while technically ok, we really don't have any b*stard in there, to give us momentum when a game is stale with a good crunching winning tackle, a voice, a leader, get in the oppositions face. We are so incredibly nice, it's annoying.
Performances have been worrying,
It's very early in the season, but Wrexham and Birmingham will probably run away with the league, we'll struggle to make play offs if these performances continue.
If you're playing 3-5-2, you need pacey CBs who are good with the ball, and a midfield that can completely control a game. Our system doesn't work im afraid with the players at our disposal, we're so incredibly easy to setup and play against.

This is now worse than at any time since 2008. Five poor defeats out of six says it all. Even in the wins we were lucky in that only poor finishing saved the points apart from Bolton who self destructed. I bet they are kicking themselves now. There were 3 points there if only they had ignored their coach. As for Town where on earth do we go from here. Where are the goals and points coming from?
So, how many managers have we gone through since NW? Bring back Worthy will soon be the chant at this rate.

Remember when we used to score quite few under Wagner. Ahhh to go back to knowing we was working and improving at training… We didn't score many. We could hold on to a lead though. I remember a few, where what we worked on in training resulted in a goal. Ipswich away 1-0 springs to mind. Remember Schindler scoring a 3/4 like that. Might not work now. But was nice to see we had an idea. |

Had a thought today about whether the club would have started any management succession planning and told myself to stop being so stupid… I think he’s got about three more games of this and they’ll have to. Embarrassing performance, again. Christ, if you're saying that Rich, we really are in trouble. I applaud you and all that go down week in, week out. Painful just watching on TV, I'm glad I stopped spending shitloads on watching that, it's unjustifiable. |

At least we can now get past "it's all Hogg" and realise it's the system and setup which is slow as fuck, has no movement and is reliant on 2 wing backs creating everything.

We've not had any half decent players since O'Brien and Toffolo. This lot range from average, to poor, to shouldn't be playing football at all.

Play a fuking proper back 4 Proper proper wingers. Bring Thomas back. Get a proper centre forward. This system doesn't suit the weak players we have. No creativity from midfield and the wingbacks aren't good enough to get up and down. We've been found out and we now have 1 winger and he's unfortunately the only half decent striker too. Oh dear. |

Just frustrated mate, sick of watching such a poor product, they look uncoached, confused and unmotivated. Not surprised we’ve already lost twice to two league two teams, we aren’t currently a “team” at all. |

God what a mess.
It was one of the worst first halves I've seen in a long time. We managed to put on a similar performance to last season in the league above. No-one seemed to know what they were doing, and the flat back 5 didn't work at all as we were totally over run in midfield. While we were very poor, I think Blackpool will be up there this season and seem to have hit form. We'll certainly have easier games.
We did improve after the break I thought, although it's hard to tell how much of that was down to Blackpool being 2-0 up and sitting back a bit. 4-4-2 seems to suit us more and I thought we were unlucky not to grab a goal on the second half performance, but we still looked quite disjoined. I thought Headley can hold his head up though after a poor game on Saturday. He bailed out the centre backs a couple of times and looked better going forward.
It's quite hard to know where we go from here, although I have faith in Duff to get things right. We just look mentally shot.

This is ridiculous. We were told there was an attitude problem and an issue with a large amount of the team. We were told that a clear out was needed. I wonder what Cartwright was saying to KN? Its clear that things are still rotten. One manager said we had an attitude problem and he was the worst manager with the worst results, he could have been just pointing the finger at the players to try and rescue the managers reputation. It did not work and he ran away anyway. |

Predictions for the season after watching that. Blackpool top 6, Huddersfield bottom 6. 🤬 Hard to judge Blackpool against their opposition tonight. |

On holiday, caught the last 35 minutes.
We had some half decent spells of passing, there was a bit of urgency at least but a complete lack of control. Very frantic and they just looked stronger, quicker and better organised. A break they had towards the end with men over on the far side completely unmarked, how many times have we seen that the last few years.
We’ve got no strength, pace or flair up front and no trickery in behind or wide. Ladapo was woeful and Marshall’s control was really poor. Bojan gave us something but had to bury that header.
