Blackburn v Blackpool Official Matchnight Thread 21.02.23

[1966_and_all_that]

We need a creator. It's Bowler isn't it?

 

[Blackpool Are Back!]

Blackpool fans singing for Josh Bowler

 

[hertfordseasider]

You can't leave a player of Bowler's talent on the bench, it's madness

 

[bill40]

We need Fiorini cause and effect is clear, he plays we win.

 

[hertfordseasider]

Where the fuck was the midfield then, there was no one!!

 

[Halifax71]

He's got to change it, its not working. Bowler and CJ for me

 

[Tangman74]

No shots is the issue - no shots no goals

 

[Tangman74]

Rotherham 2-0

 

[glasshalffull]

You're probably right but then neither had Yates really got into the game. They are hurrying us. I'm not that concerned. I don't have this down as a win or a draw. We have other rish to fry. A point will be excellent.

The problem with that is that you probably had Rotherham and Huddersfield down as wins.

 

[FY5_Seasider]

Need Bowler on for Rogers

And keep Carey on?

 

[Blackpool_Gaz]

Shit weak midfield again. Until that is fixed we are struggle most of the time

 

[JJpool]

Do they look amazing? No. But compare how they can pass it out from the back and retain possession under pressure to us who gives it away within three passes and have to foul them in our own half. Not good enough.

We look utterly clueless on the ball, everything is rushed and given away, no intent to play and no quality to do so.

 

[TOON Seasider]

CJ and Bowler look like they are coming on

 

[585 = never give up]

CJ & Josh getting ready & the commentators said "Bowler getting ready - that's no surprise it it?".
Dougal & Rogers hooked.
30 mins to go for it.

[Blackpool Are Back!]

Bowler coming on

 

[hertfordseasider]

We haven't had a shot on target, that is pathetic.

 

[Seaseaseasider]

Not been Poveda's game today. Tried a bit too hard maybe and it just hasn't come off.

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

And keep Carey on?

Take them all off for all I care. The midfield and attack have all been as bad as each other. Little glimpses from Poveda but not in areas of the pitch where it can hurt Blackburn.

 

[TOON Seasider]

Dougall off Rogers off
CJ on Bowler on

 

[P t Barnum]

Ok let's make a change

 

[Scomadi]

Fair play to the travelling lads, lassies, they/them, it/we

 

[tangerine_neil]

About blòòdy time!

 

[hertfordseasider]

To be fair, Dougall has had a shocker

 

[bill40]

F**k me finally Bowler, Pov, and CJ (would have kepy rogers) in a line.

 

[LeedsSeasider]

Lavery gives 100% every game. Unfortunately it’s not good enough. Don’t think he’s got what it takes. CJ gets way more flack than Lavery and Lavery does far less.

 

[JJpool]

Maxwell clears out of play, what a surprise.

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

Carey, Poveda and Patino in midfield is very lightweight

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

To be fair, Dougall has had a shocker

When hasn’t he?

 

[tommytwojags]

And keep Carey on?

Does MM owe Carey money or something. He seems to be untouchable.

 

[Seaseaseasider]

We look utterly clueless on the ball, everything is rushed and given away, no intent to play and no quality to do so.

They strung around 20 passes together and almost scored from it. Unfortunately I don't think we could do that if we played all night. Nevertheless, we're still in the game at 1-0 and can hopefully nick a goal.

 

[hertfordseasider]

Carey, Poveda and Patino in midfield is very lightweight

It was lightweight before at least we don't have to watch Dougall misplace every pass

[Ollygon]

I've counted 5 times Maxwells kicked the ball into touch.

 

[bill40]

Looking better already

 

[voyeur]

Dirty diving tosser - rightly booked.

We'll have to differ Voy, as these players cannot do the basic things right. That's not poor coaching, it's insufficient skill and ability for this level.
This has resulted in the number of red cards & points we have.

Our players did the basic things right under Critchley. It's not hard to be understand tbh.

 

[hertfordseasider]

we look like a bottom half league 1 side

WTF was that from Lavery?

 

[JJpool]

I've counted 5 times Maxwells kicked the ball into touch.

His feet are shaped like 50p's.

 

[hertfordseasider]

At least we're having a go now

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

It was lightweight before at least we don't have to watch Dougall misplace every pass

Instead we have Patino playing 1 minute behind everyone else and Carey doing a park run. At least Poveda is central now.

Just poor all round but expected unfortunately.

 

[585 = never give up]

Our players did the basic things right under Critchley. It's not hard to be understand tbh.

They are proving tonight that they cannot match Rovers players for quality and skill - that's nothing to do with coaching.

 

[voyeur]

But it is!

 

[Roy Kent]

Lavery/Bowler had to score there…those need to go in given the situation we’re in.

Our players almost seem surprised when it comes near them in Rovers box.

 

[TOON Seasider]

Gabriel booked

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

Shocking refereeing. He played advantage, can’t go back.

 

[Vince McLean]

Nelson's been great tonight.

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

They are just better than us in every department.

 

[1966_and_all_that]

We are slow to the ball. Their defence is mopping up with ease. We have no left back.

 

[DJ Dudley]

Bowler really does nothing defensively…. Not a single thing. Poveda is running his heart out doing the stuff Josh should be doing

 

[Roy Kent]

Surprise Ref didn’t give them a corner there
