Blackpool v Bolton BSM Trophy Official Matchnight Thread 30.01.24

[AlternativeSeaside]

It really is the at the back where our biggest problems lie, not strong enough and not good enough with ball at their feet or distribution, improve here and we’d be ok.

 

[South Shore Seasider]

Yes about a specific moment in the game, jeez

 

[Costero Poderoso]

Difficult to see lavery getting any joy against santos, he’s class

particularly if we keep sending it high for lavs to win headers

 

[clappers]

Evatt appears to have been doing an amazing job, given the wise men on here all said he was a laughable candidate to manage the Pool.

 

[TangerineArmy]

Agree with others Kouassi needs to come on now...

Love how they pass it and drive forward whilst how many times do we go back back back.. can't see them not being champions

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Evatt appears to have been doing an amazing job, given the wise men on here all said he was a laughable candidate to manage the Pool.

But Critchley was the only decent candidate. Ditto Appleton before him.

 

[Halifax71]

As above, kouassi needs to come on and support Lavery.

I'd also bring CJ on - needs to get his mojo back, plus a bit of pace wouldn't go a miss.

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

Ffs Critchley no changes, what’s he watching?

 

[tommytwojags]

How many times have Lyons and Lavery made forward runs but not received the ball from midfield?

 

[tangerine_neil]

Need Kouassi on to at least battle and hold the ball up.
Critchley will no doubt wait until the 70th minute when we’re chasing the game…
The rest of the subs won’t make much impact imo

 

[Micky Walsh]

Bolton playing better than us and we all jump off the deep end proclaiming all sort of bollox, the drama queens on here. Their tactics are working better than ours, so lets see if NC can switch it up to make a better fist of it second half, it's Bolton so of course I want us to win but not getting my panties in a twist over this one. The real match against these will be in the league at Bloomers.

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Ffs Critchley no changes, what’s he watching?

He'll turn it around.

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

Suicidal play

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Why o why do we keep playing suicidal back passes?

 

[TangerineArmy]

The rest of the subs won’t make much impact imo

Eh... Oakley booth

 

[hertfordseasider]

But Critchley was the only decent candidate. Ditto Appleton before him.

In the grey, dull mind of Simon "Interesting" Sadler, but that isn't true, there were plenty of managers about, he could have had Evo instead of Critchley first time round, Edwards instead of keeping Appleton on.

 

[Albert Ross]

Ffs Critchley no changes, what’s he watching?

He’s watching us dominate the game.At least thats what he’ll say in his post match, as usual.

 

[BFC76]

This is a really good game but they look so much stronger than us ….

 

[Graves]

We need a fit, non fatigued Rhodes and an up for it spark like Joseph.

 

[briar]

We are doing our best to give it to em passing is pathetic they are giving us a lesson only good point when we play as good as Bolton we lose

 

[Mark_GT]

I don’t think you can blame the players, it’s levels and Bolton simply have a much better squad than us. Must be paying big wages.

Truth in that. We could help ourselves by switching it up a bit but expect Critchley to do subs by rote on 65 and 75 minutes.

 

[1966_and_all_that]

We need a fit, non fatigued Rhodes and an up for it spark like Joseph.

Better waiting for Stevenage.

 

[Sooty59]

Better this half. ATM

 

[briar]

This is a really good game but they look so much stronger than us ….

And faster and better passers

 

[April13th1970]

Oooh anyone going to jump all over Gabriel for that rickets

Nah, just going to prescribe some Vitamin D and Calcium

 

[South Shore Seasider]

We have certainly stepped things up a bit

 

[Chesterbfc]

Let's be fair ,it's dross

 

[Mike_BFC]

Lump it to 2 dwarfs isn’t working that well

 

[1966_and_all_that]

We have certainly stepped things up a bit

Good to read some of you being positive.

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

Too much pissing about when we get into decent areas, WHERES THE ** URGENCY??????

 

[Gwillerz78]

What has happened to pennington? Worries me every time he goes near the ball

 

[Mark_GT]

Carey is a complete passenger so far. Invariably arrives just too late to put his body on the line. I want him to do well but he offers so little.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Anyone like me already thinking pens are our best bet?

 

[hertfordseasider]

Too much pissing about when we get into decent areas, WHERES THE ** URGENCY??????

It's the Critchley way, he hasn't got the players who are skilful or quick thinking enough to play the formation and tactics he wants but that doesn't seem to matter!

 

[TangerineArmy]

What has happened to pennington? Worries me every time he goes near the ball

Maybe need some game time.... bit like connelly gets?

 

[tangysider]

This is a really good game but they look so much stronger than us ….

That is, exactly what I am seeing

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

Good to hear the crowd getting involved

 

[1966_and_all_that]

It's the Critchley way, he hasn't got the players who are skilful or quick thinking enough to play the formation and tactics he wants but that doesn't seem to matter!

Dembele?

 

[Albert Ross]

Anyone like me already thinking pens are our best bet?

Who would take them?

 

[hertfordseasider]

Dembele?

You need 11 players who can do it not one or two

 

[Graves]

When are we going to take one of those ‘shot on target’ things?

I’ve heard that these exciting events sometimes happen at football matches.

 

[Stanah]

Get lavery off the pitch

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

Ffs Lavery, simply not good enough

 

[BFC76]

I think tonight has answered the question as to whether we should give Virtue another deal.

 

[hertfordseasider]

Anyone like me already thinking pens are our best bet?

No way, we'll hit ours all sideways or backwards!!

 

[Albert Ross]

I think tonight has answered the question as to whether we should give Virtue another deal.

And Connolly and Lavery.

 

[April13th1970]

Asking for a friend.

 

[NewburyOne]

A better start to this half, far from great but better.

 

[1966_and_all_that]

'Kin 'ell peeps...ger positive!
