    Is this what we're trying for?

    The persistence of the same tactic despite it never paying off - I think this is it done well... goal of the season in the Championship:

    Worst strike pairing in memory?

    Thinking back, I can’t recall a more impotent strike pairing than Kouassi and Beesley. Probably have to go back to the 80s or 90s?

    Second string cup competition

    Rather have the 3 points we got at Peterborough and i think the attendance reflected that. Worrying lack of depth in the squad though. The plus for me is that if we fail to make the playoffs, they can’t turn around and say well we got to Wembley. Judgment will be on the league only and we need...

    Manager aside…

    Obviously we have severe limitations within our managerial and coaching staff but what about the players? CJ Hamilton, Casey and Carey all sleeping for the goals. Our players don’t graft or have the desire to compete - all over the pitch. In the words of Neil Warnock “you’ve got to die for the 3...

    Who was at this one?

    I remember Jimmy Greaves on Saint and Greavesy joking it was going to be the tie of the round.

    Carey/Dougall/Dale

    Carey plays poorly and is picked every week. Shows a bit of form and is banished to the bench. Dale was great last week but not picked again.

    Kyle Joseph / Rhodes / Beesley

    Joseph came with a big reputation. It’s early days but I’m unsure what his best assets are. Not a target man, not a pacey striker getting in behind. Rhodes can’t be the lone target as he’s not got the pace. Beesley is similar. We could do with another option up front IMO

    Goals conceded outside the box

    Again. Egg plant way too deep. No protection on the edge of the box. Like Groundhog Day. I’d love to see the stat for goals from outside the box.

    Tom Trybull

    Playing in Denmark 🇩🇰 https://www.eveningnews24.co.uk/sport/23827536.norwich-city-title-winner-tom-trybull-heads-denmark/ I’d imagine a more attractive salary at OB

    The curious case of Sonny Carey

    I hope this is a thread that will “age well”. I’m still working out his contribution to the team but obviously the last 3 managers all favoured him. My question is, what is it that I’m not seeing? TIA

    Rhodes fitness

    Hoping we look after Rhodes so we can see the best of him. Last night I felt he seemed to struggle with the pace of the game a bit - obviously a natural finisher but last couple of matches, he's looked a bit leggy for me and not sharp. He's not blessed with pace but I wonder if we're over...

    Embleton to Derby

    Derby have agreed to sign Embleton. I wonder if we were interested. Decent playing just behind the strikers - just what we are missing

    Player investment

    Obviously there’s been a lot of incoming revenue. During the Oyston tenure, we had various large money departures and a lack of reinvestment. What happened to the <insert players name> money etc. Do we trust that a bunch of planning applications are an acceptable justification for downscaling...

    A few thoughts on the match

    I thought we passed it well and looked like a team that can play football. MM was a disaster. Sonny Carey - he’s been starting for half the season and I’m not sure I’ve seen a single positive outcome. Anderson has done more in 2 games. Needs to go on loan and try and get an assist or a goal...

    Poveda - waste of a loan, style of play.

    Why did we not just return him and find an alternative? Also, why do we have no game plan in possession? Maxwell holds onto the ball and the opposition get back in shape before he releases it. Begs the question, are we attacking or counter attacking? Not sure we have a plan with the ball at all

    Vida Blackpool

    The sale to the club seems to have fallen through. This is a shame as it was a vital training facility for local clubs. Anyone know why the club has pulled out?

    Unable to purchase part season tickets

    Been trying for days now.. just goes to “redirecting to partner site” so can’t actually give the club money! Anyone know why it’s not working?

    Blackburn goal

    Looks like he was past Marvin when the ball was played, who played him on?

    Great win. Team taking shape

    a nice game to get your first win. What did everyone think about the debutants? Bowler must be a nightmare to play against. Shame we didn’t see much of Lavery but it’s a good player to bring on

    Referee list of shame (Gavid Ward)

    I think I’m going to compile a list and on evidence this season it’s going to be a long one! Andy Woolmer was awful - I thought that was as bad as it gets but trumped today by Gavin Ward. As poor as some refs were last season, they were only once every 5 or 6 games. Seems we’re getting them...
