Won 7 of last 8. We drew tonight with our B teamNot been clinical enough all season, it’s not much use playing teams off the park if we can’t put the ball in the back of the net.

Against a decent keeper Lubala’s would have been saved. Two or three stuttering steps and very little power, not good except it crept in.We had some excellent penalties - Sarkic, Garbutt and Gabriel. Lubala's was fine too - people looking too hard for things to criticise methinks.
Robson's though was really poor, he didn't make any effort.

What's happened to the tall blonde lad?Simms is nowhere near ready for first team football. But we will get an emergency loan in of Maxwell is ruled out.
I have seen back passes to your own keeper harder than that. shocker.WTF was that pen from Robson
How many by the odd goal, we are climbing the table yes and still have a minus goal difference.Won 7 of last 8. We drew tonight with our B team
Agree. With the salary cap it seems we’ve gone for quality elsewhere and kept only one capable keeper. Despite his development pedigree Fotofit didnt look any better than Sims in the very limited appearance he had.Simms is nowhere near ready for first team football. But we will get an emergency loan in of Maxwell is ruled out.
Here hereTo be fair it was a second string team and they are second string for a reason.
Roll on Saturday.
I bet the young lad would have buried his pen given the chance.Nice to see the R apter on the bench UTMP
We didn’t have some positions boxed off in our first team not so long ago.Well now we know -- there isn't a striker in our second string.
Exactly!They threw their first team big guns on and still couldn't beat us.
Seemed ok to me. We had 3 excellent penalties, one ok one and one shit one. Your focusing on the bad stuff. Why?!Against a decent keeper Lubala’s would have been saved. Two or three stuttering steps and very little power, not good except it crept in.
Once, and the ball crept under his body.Don’t think sims dived the right way once. Not criticising the lad, just an observation
Sarkic has some ability. Just looks a bit lost in our formation, we don't seem to know where to play him.Sims, Sarkic, Thorniley - not good enough
The rest of them look like good replacements, with Gabriel and Garbutt at front of the queue to come into the side.
The fish dossers will be getting out their oils and a box of tissues as we speak - ready to celebrate their victory.
An absolute giant killing that for Fleetwood to be fair.The fish dossers will be getting out their oils and a box of tissues as we speak - ready to celebrate their victory.
What about the one from Evans that went under him?Don’t think sims dived the right way once. Not criticising the lad, just an observation
Not been clinical enough all season, it’s not much use playing teams off the park if we can’t put the ball in the back of the net.
Spot on in my opinion all that, Rekt.The B side really get a B grade there.
Simms isn’t a League One standard keeper.
Turton, Garbutt and Gabriel are all very talented and the latter two could easily be first team starters.
Thorniley is done with us, his basic defensive awareness is appalling.
Williams and Robson look very comfortable on the ball and can both put a tackle in and pick a pass respectively. They can count them selves unfortunate we have such an abundance of good players in midfield.
Anderson appears to have bags of talent but I’m not sure we know what to do with him, I feel a tad sorry for him.
Good to see Virtue back.
Kemp, still don’t understand this signing, could have kept Shaw and developed him.
Bez, actually looks promising a season long loan somewhere might do him good.
Sarkic is an enigma, looks like he should have all the physical attributes but doesn’t, does have a good touch and composure but can’t seem to get going. Bit of a head scratcher.
Memories of Monty Python there!Final score. Fleetwood - nil, Blackpool - nil, Blackburn - nil. Very tight game
Papa Johns is greasy slop anyway at the best of times... about as far from decent pizza as you can getJust cancelled my Papa Johns order Lol. Dominos incoming!
I’m focusing on the fact we lost. I’m also wondering why out of 22 new players we haven’t got anyone who looks a real goal threat. We have lost three shoot outs this season, why. In the league we have a minus goal difference, why, the answer is in front of goal we are terrible. It’s not a negative post it’s a statement of fact.Seemed ok to me. We had 3 excellent penalties, one ok one and one shit one. Your focusing on the bad stuff. Why?!
Things from that are that we are very weak on the goalkeeping front and we only have 2 strikers at the club which is of big concern.
I agree we looked the better side and we played the better football but the fact remains we are creating a great deal of chances and failing to put the majority away. Jimmy Greaves said many moons ago, if I have ten shots a game and 8 end up in the crowd, I don’t care as long as the other 2 go in. We need someone with that attitude.Bit unfair the 'all season' comment, IMO. Throughout the whole of last month we only failed to score more than one goal in a single game (against Wigan, where we won 1-0). We're also top of the form table. I think that's, specifically, an area we have improved in and the minus goal difference is thanks to our shocking start.
It was what it was tonight - two sides each with ten changes from Sat. We looked the better side, played the better football for the most part and lost on penalties in the pizza trophy. We rested players and it will have given Critch more of an idea of where players like Sarkic and Thorniley are are at (i.e. a ways from being in the first eleven). C'est la vie.

The old 'fact' defence! ;-)I’m focusing on the fact we lost. I’m also wondering why out of 22 new players we haven’t got anyone who looks a real goal threat.

Brilliant!Was that Sims 2nd game as a professional? Two clean sheets?
