Blackpool v Charlton Official Matchnight Thread 20.10.20

Bowyer changed it at half time to stop CJ and put player back to attack Mitchell’s
that’s the difference in the coaches , bowery and critchley
 
We never test the keeper as don't create clear cut chances. Front 3 playing too far apart. Not been holding the ball up since Madine went off.
 
Bottom of the league and deserve nothing less. We really do seem to consistently fade in the last 15/20 mins or so.

Also, for me, questionable subs again - chucking Yates on as the only central forward is not the answer, esp with 10 men. He is the type that works around a big man, picks up stray balls and flick ons - or, alternatively, gets the ball wide and cuts in. Initially Critch should have kept Madine on, put Yates on for Woodburn and dropped CJ a little deeper to try and get him in the game more (only man on the pitch who has looked dangerous running at defenders). In my opinion, anyway.

Worrying that we still don't have a solid starting line-up and are still dotting players around positions, like in Yates' case, 7 games in.
 
I think since Madine and Woodburn went off we lost the plot completely. I've no idea what Lubala offers. It's like playing with nine men since he came on. And I really think we need to get shot of Maxwell. He's too fat, too slow, not tall enough for a goalie and doesn't command his box. How many times do you see him come and make a positive catch? Even his distribution is shi*te...
 
I think the signs are good, shame about the goal, but much better all round. The wins will come.
Wow. I'm surprised you can see the TV with those tangerine tinted glasses on full power. We are poor. Very poor. Williams only one who looks like a footballer at the moment.
 
The biggest problem as I see it is that considering NC wants us to be on the attack all the time we don't look like we have a goal in us anywhere in the team, and we inevitably concede.

The team look like a bunch of strangers tonight, it's like they are really struggling with the tactics even after an improvement on Saturday.. I still think it's a massive work in progress, but we look a lot worse at home than we do away. Charlton have been much the better team even when it was back to 10 v 10.
 
We have been unlucky here, things going against us at the moment. We are a good team in waiting, a little worried about the keeper every shot goes in, but not his fault overall. Onto the next one.
 
Yates and Bez have been poor, barely made any impact. They just look devoid of confidence and/or ability at this level.
 
when do we start questioning saddler , or is it mansford to blame in picking Critchley
please don’t give me stuck in this question , yes Sadler saved us , but still has to appoint correct mangers/coaches
 
Focusing on the positives, Ballard and Woodburn look good and Madine played well. And of course we are now a class outfit off the field with a fantastic owner...

Keep dreaming - a very poor side, lacking a bit of quality and experience and lack of experience in the management team as well
 
Some positives tonight for sure.

Turton played well
Marv done well
Ballard looks an upgrade...quality signing
robson had a good game
Williams had a good game
Mitchell had a poor first half against a very good player and improved second half. (Dougherty will be one of the best in this division)
CJ played much better
Husband wont be playing for a long time

Charlton have looked a decent side and we have played ok even if we rode our luck a bit at times. I think we deserved a point but no shots on target again is shocking...every point dropped at home is a disaster and we simply have to get something on Saturday. The manager will get a bit mor time and deservedly so BUT he is under the cosh now and bottom of the league is horrendous in anyone's book. He needs to get his best 11 on the park week in week out and simply cannot keep chopping and changing forever more. I think Ballard and Marv will be in from now on and I still believe a 3 at the back will help our hapless full backs. If he keeps playing this strange version of 4 3 3 and keeps losing he is toast.

I'm all for positivity and NC is here for the season .... but ... let's be honest. That was a SHITE performance.
 
Confidence is definitely low. NC has a huge job to lift this team. They have to stick together,
 
He's got to try CJ down the middle with Woodburn and four across the middle and hit on the break. I did say this after the first game. Still no leader at the back, why bring in four average or not ready centre half's and not two quality ones?? Same with full backs, we're paying two wage's rather than paying a larger one to a better player.
