Embleton

[Dougall]

Have forgotten really that Embleton is even in our team such is the low impact he’s made on me but remembered what a decent player he can be last night and long may it continue.

 

[SeasideKurt]

He was one of the best players for us last night, I couldn't figure out where he was playing in the first 20 and then he came to life. Took up some great positions. Needs to work on his shooting as the majority of the time he's had a shot this season it's hit row z. We need to start hitting the target with these shots from outside the box. Other teams like Saturday seem to have joy against us from range.

He played well last night and has more ability on the ball than many others.

 

[The Catcher in the Rye]

Has proven in the past that he’s a good player, it’s been a slow start for him but hopefully this is the start of him cementing a starting position in the team and making a contribution

 

[Costero Poderoso]

two games two assists.
played well last night, was at the heart of some really good interchanges of passes.

 

[zico_bamber]

Yep. A ball player, like Apter. Does well when he gets time on the ball, which he did last night. Struggles against teams that press quickly, IMO.

 

[Opinionhated]

A lot of players can struggle against a high press how much support you have round you makes a difference. Regarding Embleton the more minutes he’s getting is showing what a good player he is. Some on here need to give him more time.

 

[BFC4EVA]

Embleton played well last night

 

[Seasider1953]

Agree, he likes to play short little passes (give & go) to link up , which can open up defences.

 

[Loco]

He's been getting his fitness back and it's good to see him getting back in the groove.

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

Amazing what can happen when players play in their correct positions.

 

[ansdellmafia]

Most of his crosses into the box are very good indeed , perhaps even on a par with Evans.

 

[SouthernSeasider]

keep him in the team for Sunday, get him back to his best - he's on his way.

 

[Chunkylad]

I keep thinking that Embo and Ballard will click sooner or later. Embleton in a central position will play the little pass through to a pacy striker to finish. Ballard should be that player.

 

[Wizaard]

Amazing what can happen when players play in their correct positions.

Exactly. He played in a position where he could do some damage, not shoehorned into somewhere he didn't want to be, and it showed.

Fantastic delivery for the first goal. Their lad couldn't react in time.

 

[fcblackpool]

We have quite a few players who on their day etc, but they lack consistency. Let's hope this is the start of a good run from EE.

 

[BFC_53]

Embleton, much like the situation with Joseph, is a good player that's well worth persevering with. He's improved significantly in the last few weeks, and will be an important player for us in the 2nd half of the season if he can keep it up.

 

[Cuthbert]

Totally agree. His movement on the ball is creative

Embleton is beginning to show some consistency. His cameo against Wigan was good.

 

[S88bfc]

Let’s hope he can kick on now, as his Pool career so far has been totally flat,he just seems so underwhelmed at being here, his body language is terrible,after the first goal he was the last to join the huddle even though Ballard ran towards him, he looks like he needs lots of TLC

 

[Torycorner]

Could not believe how unfit and rusty he appeared when he arrived but.....like the apparant "ground swell of opinion" he is once again showing the quality he undoubtedly has and it getting better every game.

I agreed he played very well last night

[Seasidestevo71]

He’s getting better each game, can play a cracking ball in like the first goal last night

 

[Hazi]

he arrived needing rehab and nursing in after a bad injury, he is a class footballer. He does have a good shot on him too, going wayward at the minute but he is getting his eye in. 2 assists in 2 games given a more suited role. But his crosses are better than all inc Evans. This 4213 formation could be the making of us and Embers, but 442 is not ideal.

 

[LSASeasider53]

Looking more like the Embo we all recognise from the first time round

 

[Dark_Side_of_the_Lune]

Was Critchley right to sign him?

 

[ITKer]

Agree with all of the above and don't underestimate what that win will do for the confidence.

 

[the_dog]

Is it me or does he always seem a bit (no what's the politically correct way of saying this) chunky?

 

[tangerineforever]

He needs to cement his place in the team as the playmaker,he has the ability but needs to deliver week in week out.He should never again be shunted on the wing

 

[Albert Ross]

Is it me or does he always seem a bit (no what's the politically correct way of saying this) chunky?

He was when he arrived and unfit with it. He appears to have worked hard on his fitness, he also appears slimmer. He's not there yet but he's definitely heading in the right direction.

 

[Graves]

Was Critchley right to sign him?

Like almost any signing on a budget like ours- it’s a gamble.

 

[Hazi]

Was Critchley right to sign him?

Yes the medics thought he would get back to full fitness and we get a bit knocked off the price for the wait.

 

[Sandgrown1]

He’s a decent player and imo came to us a little overweight and not match fit. He’s steadily getting there now and it reflects in his performances.

 

[Fylde Seasider]

Has proven in the past that he’s a good player, it’s been a slow start for him but hopefully this is the start of him cementing a starting position in the team and making a contribution

Bit of a theme really with our players who have ability but showing it infrequently.

 

[tangible]

He's an intelligent footballer, on his way back to full fitness. He's not afraid to take a shot and he's been getting his eye in over recent weeks. When he is fully fit and some of those shots start hitting the net (second half of season) we will have a real, re discovered asset to watch.
