Hard to find positives from Burton However I thought when Casey came on he showed what has been missing at the back Casey has been one of the few successes of the season so far He came on looked assured made a few covering interventions, that to be honest the starting 3 are just not fast enough...

No goals conceded and only looked troubled when in possession Our only problem is when playing the ball out especially through Marvin The more time he has the more he hesitates on the ball and the more likely he is to give it away A common observation made by many on here so must be obvious to...

We're not down yet, but it looks like we will be left with celebrating the odd goal or clean sheet We should spend all next week, morning and afternoon practicing passing and moving We might not win but please lets try and look like we can play As to looking to the future lets start introducing...

Recent games against Boro and Blackburn have highlighted the gulf in basic skills of passing and ball control A poor pass leads to poor control, which leads to a poor pass and goes on and on As the ball runs loose from lack of control the player will lunge to recover the ball This usually leads...

We got rid of one manager, now everyone;s shouting for the new managers head The standard of this Championship is the worst ever, and we're at the bottom of it Time to look at the players They can't control a ball They can't pass a ball They don't close the opposition down They hardly ever run...

Who we bring in this January window will probably define our season We need a big fast centre half who can marshal the defense A strong defensive midfielder who can dictate play Unless these two positions are filled nothing is going to change There is a glaring need for these two players They...

Apparently not happy with our goal Really He needs to look at their 3rd goal at their place The keeper bundled into the back of the net and 3 players in offside positions Give your head a shake man and stop talking shite

If you read and contribute to this Forum you are a Blackpool fan Saturday is our time to step up and make a difference We have to make Bloomfield road as intimidating as we can But more importantly get behind our team We can be that 12th man

What a great team goal Yes it is that easy, a few quick Forward passes and a calm finish That was the football I want to see and I'm sure the players want to play Even out of defense quick ball but not rushed Too often we invite pressure at the back by being slow on the ball There were...

Just had a look at our incoming signings 9 young players average age 21 A 20 goal a season striker would have been nice, not likely on our budget Who knows with better service and tactics maybe we already have one Come on you Pool

In an interview the manager stated that the first half was planned and we were going to frustrate them How by giving them too much time to pick a pass or too many options who to pass to The only people he frustrated were the fans Please let the second half performance be a blueprint for the...

What went wrong first half yesterday We didn't close players down, put tackles in, we allowed them as much time as they wanted on the ball We were slow playing the ball out reverting back to last year's sideways or back passing What made it worse was we had a water break on 25 minutes and...

It seems obvious to me, that we weaken our midfield by playing Connolly at right back The right back position is weaker by not having a specialist there, as good as Connolly is To compound that Connolly is missed in midfield especially with the other midfielders, with the exception of Dougal...

A recurring theme of pre season has been a slow first half followed a better more dynamic second half Why? We come out play slow ponderous balls across our back 4 inviting the opposition to dominate and seize the initiative Second half we come out play quicker forward passes and we start to look...

Yet again we start the season without a right back, hopefully Gabriel is close to a return though Surely on his second half performance Jack Moore has earned a start on Sunday Going forward he was very effective and seemed comfortable defensively If not Sunday when will he get a chance to prove...

It's mentioned regularly, that we do not score enough goals How simple was our goal yesterday Just basic passing the ball into space in the box for a player to run on to Easy simple football that will beat the best of defenses This style better suits our forwards and as seen yesterday is...

Every game we change formation and players depending on the opposition.. Why can't we have a settled system, style of play, players. Let the opposition change to play us How can we possibly recruit when we don't know the positions we want the players to play Decide on your formation and style of...

Forget the Ref, the injuries, the formation, and definitely forget this constant back passing. How many times this season have we had a free kick just past the half way line, 3 passes and it's back with our keeper. How many times did we put ourselves under pressure with dangerous careless back...

Our first season in the Championship, favourites for relegation and plagued with injuries. We are mid table and for a while a chance of the play offs. Yesterday was a blip, but the signs were there. We are organised in our defensive positions and hard to break down. However in possession we...

Firstly I think we have a decent squad, but no luck with injuries. This has meant players being pushed into the team with limited or no match time. That said I think everyone called upon as done a good job for the team. However what hasn't changed but needs to, is this painfully slow build up...
