Blackpool v Nottingham Forest Official Matchnight Thread 17.01.24

[Farnorth]

The next goal will be crucial….

 

[hertfordseasider]

Literally top goal scores at home in the league.

So why are we so dull to watch?

 

[Always tangerine]

Didnt see Connolly , was Grimshaw and Morgan.
We need centre backs who are solid and more comfortable with the ball.

 

[Victorsponge]

They're pressing the crap out of us but we still try to play out from the back!

 

[madatta]

We need a proper defensive coach, because whoever is doing it now is shite.

 

[Martonmosser]

Yup you're right, terrible between him and Marv. Marv has that in him a couple of times every game, Thommo is the same and he's been palmed off. We need a new back 3

We need to play 4-4-2. This 3 at the back rubbish is awful

 

[Halifax71]

Get grimshaw off, no point risking.

Give Casey, OB, Lavery, & Dale some pitch time

 

[Macseasider]

I reckon once they are 3 up Dembele might come on.

 

[ElBurroSinNombre]

On the pitch or off it?

On this message board?

 

[Always tangerine]

Ekpiteta not great.

 

[Olliesoffhistrolley]

Bloody awful performance

Go to bed

Why ? He certainly seems to be exceptionally dull to me .

 

[hertfordseasider]

Go to bed

I'm already behind the sofa!

 

[Southshoresteve]

What is embarrassing is posters trying to blame Connolly for that goal

 

[AmericanTangerine]

Certainly have to question why we insist on playing out the back when we rarely look to use possession to create chances.

Most of the possession we have is just used to control the flow of the game with little impetus.

 

[BFCfan33]

You cant play as you want against a team that is a class above us and they are showing and are up for it

 

[April13th1970]

Connolly couldn't even pass water

 

[Victorsponge]

How can not blame the players for that fuck up

I can only imagine they are chastised for booting it out of defense, there's no explanation for continually trying to play out from the back when we clearly haven't got the players with the skills to do that.

 

[SirHarryThomson]

How is that Connollys fault nothing to do with him

 

[Wizzerboy]

If you think that’s Morgan’s fault then you shouldn’t be watching football

We're not We're watching Blackpool

 

[phill]

Totally Morgan's fault not Marv's you expect a professional footballer to be able to collect a pass and not lose it .He was not tightly marked and was a easy pass to deal with or should be

 

[Vince McLean]

At last ... well done JG - clatter the twats.

 

[Always tangerine]

Right footed wing back on left isnt great.

 

[LeedsSeasider]

We're not We're watching Blackpool

True

 

[Blackpool_Gaz]

.

Not the players fault it's the bloody coaching

Spot on.

 

[Olliesoffhistrolley]

How is that Connollys fault nothing to do with him

But he has been dreadful

 

[Always tangerine]

Bring Dembele Lavery and Dale on. Asap

 

[TANGERINETOWERPOWER]

Dembele for Carey...now ...not in 10 mins not in 20 mins ...NOW...personally I would bring Joseph or Lavery on aswell and go for it...can someone tell me how Connolly CJ and Husband are ever present and undroppable

 

[midfield general]

Is it just me that thinks we're playing with the brakes on.
He needs to change it now, the team he has sent out is not going to go out to win a game.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

If you think that’s Morgan’s fault then you shouldn’t be watching football

Of course it was his fault a short back pass that got intercepted who else’s fault is it?

And you call me out FFS.

 

[20togo]

Marv passed the ball straight to Morgan. Morgan wasn't under any serious pressure, he just underhit his pass back to Grimshaw and wasn't aware there was a man anticipating that pass. Morgans fault.

 

[tangerine_neil]

Reckon half the crowd will have left before that nob Critchley puts Dembele etc on

 

[Bloodtangerine]

Perhaps those who didn't buy tickets for this one weren’t as daft, disgraceful etc as some said they were

 

[SeasideKurt]

Dembele for Carey...now ...not in 10 mins not in 20 mins ...NOW...personally I would bring Joseph or Lavery on aswell and go for it...can someone tell me how Connolly CJ and Husband are ever present and undroppable

CJ gets this really weird free ride from our fans.

He has been horrendous for 6/7 games. He hasn’t put a ** tackle in all night. Lost the ball almost every single time he’s got it.

CJ Hamilton needs dropping for Dale or Dembele for quite a few games and replaced in this window. He hasn’t ever been good enough and is detrimental to our team. ** passenger. Bottler.

 

[BillyRonsonNo7]

This is embarrassing.

It's embarrassing that he doesn't make any substitutions

 

[bleed_the_freak]

Critch will be looking at making changes just as soon as he finishes his crossword..

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

Regardless of opposition, woeful performance.

 

[LeedsSeasider]

Of course it was his fault a short back pass that got intercepted who else’s fault is it?

And you call me out FFS.

It shouldn’t have even been played to him in the first place

 

[TANGERINETOWERPOWER]

This is Critchley and his pathetic substitution policy at its worst...criminal he hasnt changed it up when its clearly not working

 

[JJpool]

Such a waste, had a big chance here and keystone cops at the back is lookikg like it'll cost us.

Grimshaw a casualty of it now.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Get grimshaw off, no point risking.

Give Casey, OB, Lavery, & Dale some pitch time

Not on 80 minutes yet.

 

[Leither]

Totally Morgan's fault not Marv's you expect a professional footballer to be able to collect a pass and not lose it .He was not tightly marked and was a easy pass to deal with or should be

That's bollocks . . it started with Connolly who played a hospital ball to Marv who panicked and played another to Morgan.

 

[doolan_legend]

Our number one keeper potentially out for a period of important league games because we insist on overplaying in shite areas.

 

[hertfordseasider]

If we get beaten on Saturday you can kiss goodbye to the play offs too.

 

[JJpool]

Commentator lying about Forest tickets there, they were given the full east but didn't sell enough.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

It shouldn’t have even been played to him in the first place

Absolute rubbish it’s still his fault just play it up the park not back.

 

[Graves]

Unless we get a goal back in the next 5 mins I think we are fkd.

 

[TSSeasider]

Marv passed the ball straight to Morgan. Morgan wasn't under any serious pressure, he just underhit his pass back to Grimshaw and wasn't aware there was a man anticipating that pass. Morgans fault.

And compounded it by standing still watching as he thought the pass was going to lead to a goal.

And if he had chased back, he might, have stopped the follow up being so easy.

Poor.

 

[Yarmouth Seasider]

Gooooooooaaaaaaallllllll Morgan

 

[Halifax71]

That's better

 

[no9]

No surrender
