Blackpool v Shrewsbury Town Official Matchday Thread 24.04.21

[Mark_GT]

We look awful, we have no one on the bench to change things, it's been really poor and they seem to be choking.

At least two could change things - Mitchell and Holmes for Embleton and Simms or Ward. Wasting the opportunity to give them time to make a difference though.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

We’re Just dreadful we’ve hit a brick wall at the wrong time.
Kiss goodbye to a top 6 finish if nothing here.

 

[King Billy]

Is it me or is embleton a bit shit?

 

[hertfordseasider]

they're making changes when we absolutely should be!!

 

[Macseasider]

No sign of any changes. Game is frittering away

 

[Tangerine 77]

Get Embelton off !!!!!

 

[JJpool]

5 or so more mins then get Holmes on there and whoever else we have, go for it.

 

[tangerinesince88]

Game dying again, make a change!!

 

[Halifax71]

Got to be embleton.

Edit - OMFG.

 

[Wizaard]

Anyone got a horrible feeling this will be a 0-0?

Sure it won't be. Losing 1 0.

 

[TANGERINETOWERPOWER]

I havent really given Critchley a hard time but no subs before now is simply very very poor management

 

[Scaramanga]

Just give the kid a run out, what’s the worst that could happen

 

[Tangerinemoss]

Mitchell for Simms

 

[BFC_53]

I'm afraid we have absolutely no idea how to break down a tight defence from average teams who are content to pick up a point.
We have a total lack of creative quality coming from the centre of midfield, and it really shows. It's been our achilles heel all season long and will prevent us from getting a top six place if we can't find a solution. I've seen nothing today to suggest we have.

 

[Memphisboy]

Clueless Critchley. Nothing about him at all. Takes the main goal threat and physical presence off. Unbelievable

 

[tangysider]

Poor start and finish to season, we are easy to play against

 

[Tangerinemoss]

Kaikai still trying

 

[TANGERINETOWERPOWER]

Embleton must have something on the manager

 

[Johnno]

Wtf was that?

 

[tangerinenotorange]

What is Thorniley thinking?

 

[Yarmouth Seasider]

Oxford 1 Plymouth 1

 

[Stanah]

Do we ever play defence v attack?

If we do I bet the dfence is on top every time

 

[TANGERINETOWERPOWER]

Kai Kai man of the match for us so far...needs and deserves a goal

 

[ZipperClub]

How many times does Chissy want to say that the Shrewsbury skipper has been the best man on the pitch. Really painful listen.

Switch your commentary.

 

[hertfordseasider]

What were Maxwell & Thorniley doing there?? Great recovery by Dougall to save them.

 

[Ormergod]

Kaikai still trying

He’s been on it today.

Ward and Dougall are so lethargic. It’s been a problem all season not having a midfielder who drives forwards. It means we pass out wide, then back and eventually to centre backs. Desperately in need of a centre mid who is happy on the ball in all areas of the pitch

 

[Halifax71]

Plymouth equalised at Oxford.

Edit. 2-1,.

 

[Lee65]

Is Gabriel aiming for the first man?
Edit now too long!!!

 

[JJpool]

This is absolutely dire.

FFS we get ourselves into an amazing position after a terrible start to the season and now just look awful.

Time for Critch and the players to show what they are made of.

 

[Mark_GT]

Why won't Critchley use Holmes? Give him a run for fuck's sake!

 

[Chesterbfc]

Emberton must be a Crich favourite , cos there is no other reason at the moment to keep him on

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Kai Kai man of the match for us so far...needs and deserves a goal

Needs and deserves good support from Garbutt and Dougall.

 

[Yarmouth Seasider]

Lincoln 1 Hull 1

 

[TimperleyTangerine]

NC has got these last 2 games so wrong with his set up & selections. So frustrating, if we can see before the game about Embleton......

Just like the other night Embleton plays shit, gets moved inside. You put Kaikai in there and leave Simms on.

 

[JJpool]

Get Holmes on no one else looks like scoring.

 

[WLDTangerine]

For me we should be going 352 not 451!

 

[TangerineTed]

What the hell is Turton going to do???

 

[Mark_GT]

Shite subs. Sorry that is ** ridiculous.

 

[Greggy Lane Lasher]

False no 9?

 

[Halifax71]

Well that should have happened at half time.

Still time.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Our crossing into the box is just dire.

 

[Altyseasider]

The reality is a team pushing for promotion only has demetri Mitchell as an option coming off the bench to win a game, that isn't going to get us through the playoffs. Injuries are killing us.

 

[TANGERINETOWERPOWER]

Turton?????

 

[Greggy Lane Lasher]

We take the big forward off, and then start going long!

 

[FY4MIKEH]

Critchley you are clueless

 

[1966_and_all_that]

These floated balls in have been poor.

 

[hertfordseasider]

A more defensive right back for an attacking right back and a defensive midfielder for an attacking midfielder, that'll scare the life out of them!!

 

[Scaramanga]

Cant get my head around how appalling we have been today. And this Shrewsbury side are gash.

 

[Yarmouth Seasider]

Sunderland 2 Accrington 2
