Bolton aren't Bromley, but I see the point.Must start against Bolton.
A dynamoTo my eyes, dembele is one of the best players in the Division, never mind Blackpool.
Play him from the start every match Critchley
Think he is well above L1 standard, we are lucky to have himTo my eyes, dembele is one of the best players in the Division, never mind Blackpool.

And gets back upAnd...... Dembele goes down injured
Absolutely agree, Kouassi had a good first half. Influential in both goals. Perhaps he cant last 90 mins yet. Beasley tries, but no real impact.Kouassi made both goals. Quite a few on here have been knocking him recently. You soon saw the difference when he went off and Beasley came on.
Nice one mate. Be funny listening to the North killing that high note at the end… “Lavery”‘Dembele and Lavery’ live together in perfect harmony…
When Kouassi can last a bit longer and with more consistency, he will be a very good player. I’d deffo start with Dembele and Lavery. If you are in good form you should keep your place.Absolutely agree, Kouassi had a good first half. Influential in both goals. Perhaps he cant last 90 mins yet. Beasley tries, but no real impact.
Hate to say it but Beesley was very poor today. I think he needs to go out on loan in January because I don't think he has much of a future at Blackpool.Kouassi ahead of Beesley and Dale easily.
He might get a contract at the Pleasure Beach.Hate to say it but Beesley was very poor today. I think he needs to go out on loan in January because I don't think he has much of a future at Blackpool.
Not sure about dropping Grimshaw yet but he certainly needs to step up performance wiseDembele is the closest thing we have had to Wes Hoolahan since Wes Hoolahan.
Lavery is starting to look like the player we first signed before he got injured in the home game against Blackburn.
I think the two of them should start against Bolton with Dembele playing behind Lavery and Rhodes, with Dougall and Norburn giving him a base to play from.
Carey is improving, when Dembele has done 60 or 70 minutes bring Carey on to replace him.
We have a half decent squad for league 1, should be good enough to secure 6th place.
I'd also be tempted to start O'Donnell instead of Grimshaw.
Today we saw more evidence that Dembele cannot yet last 90 mins. Great first half, disappeared in 2nd. Debatable whether best used in first half of second half.
Beesley was playing on his own with no support in a 5-4-1 system that suits nobody.Hate to say it but Beesley was very poor today. I think he needs to go out on loan in January because I don't think he has much of a future at Blackpool.
Was that down to Dembele or something else?
Bromley switched things around in the second half, pressed more and Critchley didn't respond...or did as the team played with far greater caution, far less penetration and an awfully lot less possession. It seemed only a matter of time before Bromley scored. Thankfully they were incredibly wasteful - the event got to them.
The good thing is we do have optionsMust start against Bolton.
Just what Critchley did ,yet another post is complaining that Critchley's second half at Bromley was not good enough . I sometimes wonder what fans want and I don't like Critchley.Has to start & off when tires like today.
Lavery too.
Interesting listening to the commentary on radio last night. The summariser, Sam Parkin was really praising KD but said he doesn't look to have 90 minutes in him yet, something that will have to change.And...... Dembele goes down injured
Agree. To say that Dembele can't play for 90 mins is extremely presumptuous. We appear to have a team at the moment that doesn't have the mental strength to perform for 90 mins. Last night the players instinctively went on the defensive in the 2nd half and that clearly didn't suit Dembele. Is it still a hangover from last season? Whatever the reason, there doesn't appear to be a quick fix and that in particular is worrying. Credit Bromley for their positive approach in the 2nd half, but from our perspective we allowed it to happen, and it happens in most games. The only variable appears to be which of the 2 halves it happens in.Was that down to Dembele or something else?

Dembele and Carey competing for the same position puts us in a good position, one starts and when they tire the other one comes on. Play them behind a front two with a licence to cause problems knowing that they have a solid pairing of Dougall and Norburn playing a disciplined role behind them.Today we saw more evidence that Dembele cannot yet last 90 mins.

Bromley realised that they could muscle Dembele out of the game. From then on he was ineffective.
Agree with all of that.Dembele is the closest thing we have had to Wes Hoolahan since Wes Hoolahan.
