Scrafton asked Critch about what was going on, as many have been wondering, and has reported back the response, including direct quotes.
There may have been speculation but this is the first time we're hearing off the club that it is an issue between Lubala and themselves. The official statements prior to this was that he was being left out for tactical reasons!
Oops.
People hound Matt on Twitter about these types of problems looking for answers. When he finally gets an answer after weeks of asking he gets this type of response. Damned if he does damned if he doesn’t
He’s better than Sarkic
He's clearly not good enough either.
We haven't seen enough of him consistently in the team to decide whether he is good enough or not; he's 23 years old, there is every chance we haven't seen the best of him.
It's all about opinions isn't it ? At what point will you have seen enough to make your opinion ?
He's not had a run of games has he? Several of our players have only started t look the part after a consistent run of games. I don't know if Bez has the ability but he hasn't yet had the chance in terms of what we have seen out on the pitch. Presumably he hasn't done enough in training.
He's started 5 games, and made 7 sub appearances in League One, almost all of those during games when the entire team was still finding it's feet and carving out an identity.
I agree, but also for me, football isn't as simple as he's good enough he's not - its not Champ manager on a computer, there are lots of factors. we see again and again players struggle somewhere then thrive somewhere else, or even struggle at one point in time then appear to be a different player. For me, Ward is a good recent example. Looked a bit lost and headless last season when coming back from a long injury, looks a world better now and better game by game.
Ward doesn't look like the same player we saw last season and at the beginning of this. I'll hold my hands up and admit I thought we needed much better, but the way he has played recently now makes an almost certain starter.
Maybe that’s the same with Bez, change of position might rejuvenate him and we’d see a different player. Hope this situation with him and the club, whatever it may be, gets resolved and his Blackpool days aren’t numbered.
That is a good point that you raise but Lubala played in all of the Checkatrade games against lower league opposition and didn't offer anything other than in the game against Leeds u-23's. He's 23 years of age now and I'd expect a bit more than ' potential ' to be honest from somebody that commanded a fee. You look for potential in players plucked from obscurity such as Garrity from Warrington Town.
Blackpool fans talking about Blackpool player, who randomly doesn't get on the bench after being on it all season and starting to show promise.Shall we just leave it as a club matter?
Ah no because we all like to speculate.
It'll be a disciplinary with Bez
Anderson will be back by may
Heard Yates has been injured in training
As much as we'd like to know every little detail of what's going on behind the scenes the club dont have to give up that information.
Bez ain't playing for the foreseeable future get over it
Claiming that something isn't really worth talking about is a very different thing from telling you you're not allowed to talk about it.
Not doing any harm at all... unless Bez is having issues with his mental health and then sees comments from idiots saying “he’s not good enough”.
Dont be a knob eh!!
Absolutely spot on !
This was exactly what I was thinking for his absences from the league team.
Agreed, I would go as far to say the only trouble he has but it is a big thing in itself.
Highly unlikely.
