I'm afraid before you go to town on your marketing, you have to have something decent to sell. Backing Blackpool all the way to league 2 isn't going to work.
Tonight we saw patience starting to wear very thin, and it's getting increasingly difficult to argue against it. At a point in the season where we should be starting to see answers to questions, all we're getting is more and more questions.
1. Bad conditions and two midfielders who are tiny but very good on the ball. So we decide to do our best to keep the ball in the air as long as possible. Why?
2. I've said it before and I'll say it every time I do a review - there is no pace in this team. Without it, you're going to really struggle to create chances. Why has our only forward with pace gone out on loan? He is reminding us every week now why that was a bad decision.
3. The team has absolutely no guts. It is full of pretty soft players who are more likely to watch what happens rather than making something happen.
4. The crowd today did what it could, but the team really needs to get the crowd up. There is no passion with this team.
5. The winner was the most predictable thing ever.
6. To Simon Sadler - you cannot expect people to keep turning up on a freezing Tuesday night, paying significant money, when there is little hope of winning. Which there isn't, because of poor players, players who don't really care as they won't be here soon, and utterly baffling tactics.
7. Fans can accept losing if they can see that things just haven't worked out but we've given it a good go. Currently the fans don't know whether things are working out because we're spending the whole match trying to work out what we're meant to be doing. So are the players.
8. The only thing worse than the performance was the mobile phone lights in the stand. Please, no. Just no. It's a football match not a vigil.
9. I really don't think anyone can come out of that with much credit. I'm not going to review player performances individually because I felt they were all poor.
10. The board and SS need to swallow their pride and admit that hiring Grayson is not going to work. I can understand why they did it, but we are slipping to defeats with alarming regularity now, against teams we frankly shouldn't be losing to. There are very few signs of improvement, and the fanbase need that hope, that excitement, that feeling that things are getting better, in order to want to attend. I really don't want to sacrifice yet another season by starting poorly next time round when we could have done something about it now. Us pool fans have had enough of accepting mediocrity, and nor should we.
