Blackpool v Bristol City Official Matchday Thread 05.02.21

I'm happy to give him time. However, that quality is not in abundance with some of our supporters. They wanted rid of CJ a month ago and not long before that they didn't rate Bowler.

That's because some know zero about football. Trust SS, BM and Critch. Utmp!

Win 3-1 at home, but some always have to single someone out for shit.

Watched Connelly, at Bristol, 1st game of the season, thought he was awful, but since he has moved to midfield, he looks a decent player, good ball winner, and is improving every game

 

[Tangerine Trev]

Credit to their fans for their humour in chants. Met a few in the car park, decent lads. Their team was shocking, worst this season at Bloomfield Road by a country mile

Particularly liked , when they were 3-0 down and looking toothless ' We got the ball, we got the ball '

Injured or not, he was still a waste of money. Why would you take a car for a test drive, find out it runs like a three legged donkey and still buy it.

I thought he came on looking fired up, more confident and a threat. Give the lad some encouragement ffs

 

[TangerineBayern]

Can we just take a moment to appreciate that control from Bowler.Pulled it out of the sky like a prime Dimitar Berbatov.

It was a sublime first touch that got everyone off their seats who weren’t already standing of course, and his shimmy and finish inside the post was the mark of a player in top form!

Do you think he reads this board and goes and weeps in a corner if he doesn’t like it?

 

[voyeur]

I will wait, but not with bated breath.

I think you're going to be proven wrong tbh. It's yet another case of judging a player too soon. He looked pretty good yesterday in his 20 odd minutes, to me. Definitely more to come.

I hope I am, unlike some posters, I want all our signings to do well. I just say it as I see it and apart from Reading I have been distinctly underwhelmed, but mainly it was his totally unprofessional attitude on returning to Crewe. If he’s a sulker when he’s not getting his own way it can permeate through the team and destroy the fantastic spirit that Critchley has engendered.

Critch has known Dale Since he was a wee boy I think he will know all about his character

Wee boys become full grown people, people change.

3 0 and “you f***ed it”, as well. Lot of money and time spent for a toothless performance.

Wasn't the idea that he sulked just online banter? Not sure it's an established truth.

I’m not, nor do I pretend to be Itk, I only know what I have read. However no one has made any attempt to refute the allegation.

 

[fannybattersbookclub]

Didn't want to start a thread but if our cup game vs Palace is on the Thursday (all 5th round games played in midweek.) our match at home to yourselves will be moved to the Sunday. Just awaiting the date for the Palace game tomorrow.

 

[rememberlesshannon]

I'll take NC 's ITK position on Dale every day of the week and twice on a Sunday (today) over a KFA poster on avftt. The manager has said he will thrive with the uncertainty of the move gone from his head. This is from a manager who identified , Grimshaw, Gabriel, Keogh, Ekpiteta, Sterling, CJ, Bowler, Yates, Lavery, Dougall, Stewart...getting bored now.
Just enjoy the win and try not to find someone to slag off, you will feel so much better.
