Unfortunately there seems to be a real lack of Blackpool FC content around at the moment. The Gazette doesn't have a dedicated reporter and so we are getting stories taken from Tangerine TV interviews spread out over a week. There's no real insight or original reporting from them. Lancs Live...

Critchley has always had Garrity alongside him. I think Garrity was quite important and ran most of the training sessions. We all know that Critchley worked better when he also had an experienced head around him. Maybe they don't know who else to bring in? A bit of a longer wait than I was...

Imagine we had an option to buy all of the players we had on loan. Would you want to keep any for next season? I would actually want to keep most of them as they are young and full of potential. They are the sort of players we should be bringing to the club on permanent deals, developing and...

I'm not talking about a player or a manager, but a Sporting Director. I think all fans would agree that this season has been dire and that has come from poor manager choices and the lack of a strategy within our recruitment. We have now lost Chris Badlan who was essentially brought in to sort...

Just been potted by Hearts after a poor run. I don't know loads about Scottish football but it does seem harsh considering he had previously done extremely well for them. He has a win percentage of over 50% as a manager which is very good. Someone we should be looking at for next season...

I think most of us have struggled to come up with any great realistic options for next season but I think Kevin Phillips could be a good shout. He was a vastly experienced player, England international and for those who like an ex-player, a class act for us. He has been coaching for a while...

Been trying to stay positive but unfortunately it's not looking good. The club need to plan for us being in League One and the Championship. Who would you want to be our manager next year if we are in League One? Ideally someone who plays decent football and will give us a chance of promotion...

I think this quote is quite telling as to why the likes of Poveda haven't been picked. "There’s not going to be too much emphasis on how you play, what you do, it will be a scrap." He is picking his big, physical players instead of the likes of Poveda because he isn't expecting these bottom of...

What positions do we need to strengthen in now? My opinion... 1. We needed a striker in the summer but never got one in. Lacking in quality up front. Yates gets injured and we are really struggling for goals. 2. Taller goalkeeper. Maxwell and Grimshaw are both too short. Puts us under massive...

I think the club have rightly been focusing on how we can concede less. Hopefully the introduction of Trybull, Goode and another defender will help. However, I do wonder if we need to look at the top end of the pitch next. In the striking department we have Yates, Madine, Lavery and Beesley...

Liverpool were at their best when playing a 4-3-3 with midfielders that pressed like mad, were physical and gave the opposition no chance to hold onto the ball. They would quickly win the ball back and release it to the wingers/forwards. Now they have a more technical midfield with smaller...

When you make a mistake (which Appleton was) it can be useful to look back and assess what could have been done differently. With the sudden departure of Critchley we still had Garrity at the club. We know from the open training that it was Garrity that ran the training sessions. Garrity knew...

What do you think it will take for Appleton to get sacked? We are in the relegation zone with one point from the last 15 available. Just wondering what people think it will take? Lose the next game, two, three? Of course we are all hoping that doesn't happen as our Championship status is at...

All managers have to work with the players that they have available and make the most out of what they have. Is Appleton getting the most out of these players? I would argue no. Plus, we have to remember that Corbeanu was a long-term Appleton target. He also wanted Wright. He didn't bring either...

Maxwell and Grimshaw are both good shot stoppers but unfortunately they are both too short. Every time the opposition gets a set-piece they put it right on top of them and they can't do anything about it. We concede from it like today or it puts us under unnecessary pressure. Look at prem teams...
