Blackpool v Rotherham Official Matchday Thread 11.02.23

Yeah , can't have any complaints if we go down, haven't won since October and we can't beat any of our relegation rivals. Management aside I can't believe how incapable of winning we've become. We're lucky Wigan, Hudders and Cardiff have been almost as bad or we'd be cut adrift. Only thread of hope I can cling to is the fact we always tend to put in disappointing performances against the lesser teams but lately we're not playing better against the top teams either.
 
Can’t believe it. Defence was excellent, we just looked scared going forward. It was there for the taking.

If we can't beat Wigan (a) and can't beat Rotherham & Huddersfield at home, sadly we deserve to be where we are.
The board have been clueless in the signings they've made & the negative manager they've appointed.
We've got some very tough away games coming and I can't see who we can possibly beat, never mind reaching 50+.
At least I predicted that the immensely disappointed Jordan Thorniley would be determined to win MOM.
 
Bowler better off the bench? 😐

Burnley complete a perfect ten ending with a perfect 3-0 defeat of the Nobbers.

McCarthy started talking about more talented teams above us etc a week or two ago. He doesn't believe in his squad does he?
 
That was typical typical, negative,'Ave it horrible football, he hasn't improved us at all, if anything we are worse.

That was absolutely awful, so much of the game in the air and no changes in the last 20 minutes.

I am so glad Thorniley, who wasn't even picked in the squad on Tuesday and our best defender has to play as MM's 2 cloggers couldn't, got man of the match. Even so our defence hoofed it all afternoon and that has to be on the instructions of the cretin in charge.

The post mortem for this season has to be aimed at the top, Sadler & BB, mainly BB to be honest, he is running this club because of his choices in managers and recruitment of players and staff in general around the team. Sadler needs to get tough and get rid of the overpaid waste of space and get someone in who will do things properly and help him learn.

A point keeps us in the mix but we haven't won in about 5 years, it's appalling and McCarthy's last 12 games in charge of Championship teams is played 12, w 0, D 2 L 10, That is a stat that tells you everything you need to know about this appointment.

We have signed cloggers for MM and players who haven't been playing and they are all out injured. Trybull looks like he will be out for months and the 2 players we signed for MA, Bowler and Rogers but they don't fit into the MM way even though they ar both game changers, Josh didn't really have a great game but the ball was in the air all game. Rogers made a difference as would have Poveda but he wouldn't swap Poveda for an out of sorts Carey.

I can't see anything but relegation, we are rock bottom, haven't got a win in us and I think we'll be down well before the end of the season.

So, Sadler...... WTF happened?
 
It’s difficult to know where wins will come from but if we can have more clean sheets this month then we could sneak some 1-0 wins but life is desperate for us pool fans. 🤨
 
You can't fault the players for effort and keeping a clean sheet is important. It's just difficult to believe how we pick up injuries in every game. Trybull, Nelson and Goode out. Rotherham have some good players, big, tall and athletic they seemed to be quicker to every second ball. Jerry Yates also picked up a knock and Maxwell seemed to be struggling again.

I saw this happening ages ago and all I have had is abuse because Sadler is the ** messiah. He isn't, he never has been and he never will be. He is a supporter who has plenty of money but absolutely no idea what he is doing, and I get that, but FFS, he's had nearly 4 years, he has had an absolute joke of a CEO eating into the clubs finances and he has had transfer fees in for Bowler and Quitchley as well as Keogh and got his money back from Wright but if you look at the players we have actually bought in on contracts they are sub standard and cheap and likely to break down, which they have done.

I knew I would be right, but didn't want to be and I said more supporters will come to my way of thinking, and that's starting to happen. What a depressing place when we should still be riding on the crest of a wave after all that happened and everything so many sacrificed.

Is that enough for you Voy? 🙃 😉

Embarrassing yourself again. 😉
 
Hoofball is not going to win us many games in the Championship. Did MM forgot Madine wasn't playing today?
Some of our best players for playing it on the deck are starting on the bench-Poveda, Rogers Patino. How about try running at defences and knocking it around a bit? It'll give jerry and Josh better service. Bringback Appleton anybody?

Although we are bottom it is still very very close. One win and we could be out of the relegation zone. Lots of games and points still to play for.

You are correct, although we have been saying that for months now. Posters were saying early season, wait until after 10 games, then see how we are at Christmas, then let’s see after the transfer window. MM now 4 games in, still no wins and watching crap, how much worse could it get.
 
We're struggling to create chances.
Talented players make things happen,and yet we choose to leave our better players on the bench.
As has been said, Poveda, Rogers, Patino - maybe Apter too, must be selected over the likes of Carey and CJ, maybe Kenny to some extent though TT's injury will affect that.
Running around looking busy and committed, and creating fuck all isn't good enough.
A number of our players are probably not good enough for Div 1.
