Blackpool v Port Vale Official Matchnight Thread 15.08.23

[1966_and_all_that]

So far, so shit.

 

[Blackpool_Gaz]

Bolton 2 up already they will walk this league

They would shit on us playing the way we are at the moment

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

Crowd are on the players back. This will only end in defeat

 

[bill40]

Well this is a bag of turd so far innit.

It has continued to be a bag of turds. I hope there's a plan B.

 

[Meliora]

Backwards and sideways so far

Carey and CJ absolutely anonymous so far.

They're not the only ones but that's not your agenda is it?

 

[kuriousoranj]

Why

Lavery through, has the touch of a Land Rover Discovery. He's better than that

Not sure he is actually, Bolton have three forwards better than Lavery and Beesley IMO. Neither are athletes to be fair.
Critchley still up to his old tricks on formations isn't helping.

 

[SeasideKurt]

They're not the only ones but that's not your agenda is it?

What's the agenda? The "creative" players on the pitch are stood statically.

 

[bill40]

That was never a dive FFS.

 

[Vince McLean]

Can someone please tell Critch that Marv isn't Franz Beckenbauer.

 

[LeedsSeasider]

Awful decision. Their lad had his arm round Carey’s waist!

 

[SeasideKurt]

Port Vale have loads of mistakes in them.

 

[Colonel Bogey]

Bolton 2 up already they will walk this league

I fairness they are only playing the Cod’s…

 

[seasidelytham]

Port Vale have loads of mistakes in them.

So do we

 

[SeasideKurt]

I'd probably think about taking Carey off, yellow and can't pass to anyone in Tangerine. Bring Weir on early doors.

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

Still shocking. More relegation than promotion this.

 

[Ollygon]

What was the applause for?

 

[tea ern]

F CK me, does Chizzy do any pre match research. " they are applauding for something"......

 

[Matesrates]

By the sounds of it, this is what Critchley served up more times than not, last time around.

 

[tommytwojags]

I expect Port Vale to be relegation candidates but they look far better than us up to now.

 

[SeasideKurt]

What's the tactic around hoofing it to Lavery so their CBs can eat it up and then we lose the second ball?

 

[18YearFreeTrial]

This is terrible

 

[LeedsSeasider]

Playing long up to Lavery is such a waste of possession.

 

[Matesrates]

What's the tactic around hoofing it to Lavery so their CBs can eat it up and then we lose the second ball?

Replica of last time he was here.

 

[traffordtang]

I'm playing G<rimmy as an extra centre half.

You do know that Appleton‘s no longer the manager?

 

[Macseasider]

No idea why we are so negative and tentative in a home game.

I'd rather lose seeing us having a go.

We are dreadful at the moment.

 

[bleed_the_freak]

Back pass or hoof forward, what strategy is this?

 

[Blackpool_Gaz]

This will not do

 

[Halifax71]

Hopefully we can get in for half time without conceding.

Shocking

 

[tommytwojags]

Marvin never learns. His distribution is embarrassing.

 

[Sunpool]

Ffs this is crap, look like a very poor disorganised side..

 

[LeedsSeasider]

Take Carey off and get Beesley on if we’re gonna play the long ball!

 

[Seaside Aggro]

Stop giving the ball to big Marv, please!

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

Exeter was bad but this is another level.

 

[madatta]

Piss poor tonight, looking 2nd best at the moment. Critchley needs to start throwing the teacups now not at half time.

 

[hertfordseasider]

This is a typical Critchley tinker man game, possibly looking too deep into the tactics, no one would have picked this formation tonight. Beesley should be partnering Lavery and have 2 up front, we should be all over them, but he's too ** cautious and clever. I did say a horrible 1-0 win, I didn't mean it!!

 

[briar]

Ffs hope this is our poor half

 

[Grayth]

We're being patient with the ball but it's leading to no chances whatsoever. They look organised but they're first to everything, which is the main problem. We look like a team that lost a lot of games last season.

 

[seasidelytham]

Exeter was bad but this is another level.

& 2nd half vs Burton wasn’t that clever either

 

[hertfordseasider]

Both teams have 4 in midfield yet they are getting through us with ease, this is tactics by numbers from some smart arse coaching course.

 

[Brazil]

By the sounds of it, this is what Critchley served up more times than not, last time around.

Maybe, except he got us promoted.

 

[911_Kirky]

We’ve not even been mentioned on Sky Sports…..

 

[SeasideKurt]

This is better. All over them now.

 

[Matesrates]

Maybe, except he got us promoted.

Maybe, except he got us promoted.

He did, can’t take that away from him.

 

[AmericanTangerine]

Really hoped that playing with a midfield 3 would help us create more than last time when Critchley was around.

Need to see more.

 

[bill40]

OOOOhhhh we've had a 'shot'.

 

[hertfordseasider]

CJ's having a good game

 

[traffordtang]

This is a typical Critchley tinker man game, possibly looking too deep into the tactics, no one would have picked this formation tonight. Beesley should be partnering Lavery and have 2 up front, we should be all over them, but he's too ** cautious and clever. I did say a horrible 1-0 win, I didn't mean it!!

Once again we seem to be picking teams to counteract the opposition instead of playing our own way. It feels like it’s been like that for years now.

 

[seasidelytham]

Bolton 3-0 vs Cods

 

[Matesrates]

Fleetwood 3 down

 

[bill40]

You do know that Appleton‘s no longer the manager?

Might as well be for the utter shitshow this is.
