Blackpool v Leyton Orient Official Matchday Thread 19.08.23

I thought Critch might be okay but his football was awful to watch in the Championship, he failed at Villa and at QPR and there was no way Sadler even entertained anyone else, because he's as boring and dull as Critchley, they are made for each other. The crowd were on Appleton's back from the first game last season, how long until they turn on Critchley? If it carries on like this he will be out on his arse in a few weeks and Sadler will look like a complete idiot again.

We need a big second half here, Marv and CJ need to come off because anything other than a win is total failure.

Let me guess Leyton Orient are suddenly a 'top team' too. Funny how whoever we play that's been tonked by others suddenly is a good team and we can't break them down easily or show any quality whatsoever.

We haven't played any of the decent teams in this division yet. Burton and Orient are bottom four sides.

And on the first half performance so are we.
 
What's happened to Marv??? Watching him play previously is like a completely different type of player, and not a good one - seems more of the same today. Hearing CJ having another shocker is disappointing, i really want to keep liking him! Struggling for a stream, living in London makes it a tough one for home games - so Soccer Saturday it is... maybe best I didn't bother much for a stream anyway.
 
Go to 442 ffs but he never will as our players have to learn the Critch way. Wish he’d fcuk off. Never wanted him back. How can Lyon’s be left wing back. As for CJ, Ekpeteta and Beesley… wouldn’t get anywhere near a starting 11
 
Can’t really see anyone on the bench who is likely to change this so that leaves swapping the wing backs around or changing the formation if things don’t improve after halftime.

3 centre backs at home.

Sorry, you will NEVER convince me that CJ Hamilton is a footballer. He just failed to make a THREE yard pass. That's enough Neil. Take him off. I've had enough now.

I've defended him in the past but so far he's showing nothing, doesn't help he's played where he is, but when he does have a chance to run he slowed down and lost it.

Tbh they all need to improve as each game is turning into a 50 50 encounter, which is fine if we want a nice mid table finish, however if we want to be anywhere near the top, it's nowhere near good enough.
 
the amount of times I’m screaming at CJ to get at the full back run at him,twist and turn him inside out then do him for pace.Why doesn’t he back himself like he did two years ago?
 
Morgan and Weir are way too deep and too far out on the flanks, ill say it again Lyons and CJ are on the wrong side to be anything like effective. their is very little movement. Rinse and repeat from tuesday Marv gets stuck with the ball dithering cos there is no-one to pass to, Orient are now targeting him.
 
Ekpiteta and CJ are an absolute shambles..... If this is the best starting 11 in critchleys eyes then it's going to be a very long and frustrating season
 
Sure NC will give a post-match account of a good performance, whilst being unhappy with the result.
"Foundation on which to build, optimistic, players gave their all, early days, did well in testing conditions against a good side", blah, blah, f***ing blah.

Think we might stay up?
 
There are players out there who are not committed enough. Not all of them but Morgan, Weir, CJ and Beesley have been shocking so far. In addition our passing has been abysmal
 
We need something to happen, a spark, a bit of movement, finally getting 3 v 2 in midfield and suddenly it could click.
 
Looking at the half time scores in the division, a lot of 0-0 /1-0 scores. With optimistic head on, teams are still settling and nobody has got into a good rhythm yet, hopefully we are a work in progress and the master plan will work. Another ten games like this though and people will lose the will to live whilst we’ll be drifting along mid table at best.
