Blackpool v Birmingham Official Matchday Thread 10.12.22

@matt_scrafton


45+1 - Confusion here as Birmingham have a goal ruled out in first-half stoppage-time. Emmanuel Longel's pullback is slotted home by Mazime Colin but there are two players that look to be in an offside position in front of Maxwell (0-0)
 
This is dreadful…what the fuck has he been doing with them over the break ? No urgency, no pressing…woeful
 
Maxi still rooted to his line and the ball went into the middle if the goal. Very lucky for it to be chalked off.
 
Patino is trying hard, not always coming off - but Carey and Dougal have done nothing so far.
We look truly awful - getting worse with each game.
 
would it be better giving funds to a new coach in January if there is any or giving appleton the funds to see what he can improve with , then again does appleton have a say in who pool buy 🤷

Without a doubt. Appleton will be sacked so why not just get on with it? Revenue will be down. Fans have stopped turning up and not ashamed to admit me and my Dad are an example of that.
 
To add, the board had a month to get rid of voldermort and replace him but stubbornly stuck by him. This is a collective act of buffoonery which will see us drop.

Love how tenacious Patino is, Carey & Dougall should be embarrassed by how soft they are in comparison to a kid.
 
I managed to miss that half completely as a guy has come round to try and sort a block in my drains, absolute nightmare, looks like the person who had the patio laid as slabbed over the manhole cover so making the job hard and disgusting!!
 
that has not been pretty. another really bad half of football. too slow, very passive. could easily be three nil down. its still nil nil so eveything ñto play for.

Got a feeling theres going to be a couple of red cards again, this ref is letting a lot go, and you just knw he's going to pull up a pool player for the first even remotely bad challenge.
 
Same old same old. Nowts changed from before the break. Was an awful 45mins that could of easily seen us 3 nil down
 
I’m lost for once to even make suggestions of how to improve?

Our best form came when we pushed Kenny and Charlie further forward with Bridcutt behind. So for wont of ideas, how about a random Moore on for Carey and Connolly into DM?

Everything else we try is more meh….
 
Whilst some on here think we are a side that should be hovering between C/ship & PL, there needs to be a reality check.

Whilst ‘The Best Trip’ was fabulous, it was something of a one-off. There is no way, then or now, we could expect to survive in the PL. The reality, with our budget etc etc is that for the forseeable we’ll be a club hovering between the C/ship & L1.

We may survive this season - obviously I hope so - but whilst I appreciate the ambition/optimism of those in tangerine-tinted glasses the PL is simply not something that’s going to happen anytime soon.

Like pretty much all of us, I’ll support us in whatever league, but it has to be recognised that we’re trying to compete with clubs with massively higher budgets - & money talks.

If we have ambitions of being a Championship club and we are a Championship club then you have to compete financially with other clubs in the league. If you can't, what is the point?
