Blackpool v Charlton Official Matchday Thread 27.01.24

Pity we don't get to welcome Appleton, but we can put that stored energy into backing the team.

I'm not worried about the "new manager bounce" - unless they've hired Dobbie on the quiet! 😁

We'll win this if we play with the form we've shown recently. 3-1 to the Mighty!

I’d go:

O’Donnell (even if Grimmy is fit)

Pennington
Casey
Ekpiteta

Gabriel
Morgan
Norburn
Dembele
Coulson

Lavery
Joseph

Grimmy, Husband, Connolly, Virtue, CJ, Dale, Rhodes

Hubby needs a rest. Same with CJ. Gabriel gives you a threat going forward and is a naturally better defender than CJ (thought CJ was excellent at Bristol btw).

Also think Rhodes could do with a rest. Ran himself into the ground at Bristol and hasn’t missed a game yet.

St James of husband has had a week to recover, defence is always better with him in it. Casey on the right. Marv in the centre. Virtue in for Norburn or Morgan to anchor the midfield and Carey come back in, the team looked really dangerous with both carey and dembele on. Id leave Shane on the bench for now, Rhodes is due a couple of goals, but if he's still a bit leggy, change it around earlier than 75 minutes.

I think with CJ becoming a mainstay at right back likely one of Lyons or Gabriel could go, both too good to be warming benches. Hopefully Gabriel stays at the very least

You would think there would be some takers for Lyons. Wouldn’t be surprised if he leaves this window 😬

What value does Connolly have on the bench ahead of Lyons? I wouldn't be shocked to see Lyons go to be honest. Stoke or a Huddersfield or something

Not sure if anyone noticed who watched it on TV but Lyon’s booted the ball out against Forest near the end and the Camera went straight onto Critch who was shaking his head looking pissed off.
Not been seen in the squad since.
 
It's a good attacking team
Hamilton, Rhodes, Joseph, Dembele, Morgan, Coulson all have attacking intent.
Hoping for 3 points - the matches against Forest should have installed some confidence

Andy Lyons face clearly doesn't fit with the manager. I'm sure there will be plenty of clubs who want a Championship player who can't make the bench at a League 1 club.

JG should be one of the first names on the team sheet. He's probably our more valuable asset (not counting loanees).
Lyons is also a very good player, but isn't being given a fair chance. Sadly, I can see him moving on.

Gabriel coming back from injury, he is one of our best players and I feel he should start. Perhaps they don't want to put too much on him too soon.
On Lyons, I am surprised he doesn't make the bench but we do have a strong squad now. I hope he stays and improves under Critchley, there are plenty of games coming up this season.
Who would we drop to accommodate these two?

I'd be prepared to give Gabriel a start over CJ, he's got a lot more about him in the tackle and can help out in defence if we drop to a back four. Keep CJ as an impact sub against tiring players
 
So, in order to get the full screen I’ve been recently using Google chrome but I think the picture quality is compromised as opposed to safari, any thoughts on this from those who use TTV?

I know weve been battered by a couple of Storms recently but is there pitch looking particularly bad, or am I being harsh?

The weather would be a disaster mate to be fair, it isn't anywhere near as bad as when it was massively neglected.

Absolutely battering them but it stinks of a random dodgy Charlton goal.
 
Other results mean absolutely nothing to be honest. When we're winning and it's FT it's worth finding out what has happened elsewhere.
