Fleetwood v Blackpool Official Matchday Thread 01.11.23

[rememberlesshannon]

Just shows if you get the right players on the pitch....but I'm no coach.

 

[voyeur]

I dunno Voy.. It's easy to get all reactive with a game like this...

I don't actually think we've played that badly first half to be honest....(it's the same issue we were discussing earlier today) They are obviously well up for it and they've played the first half at a high intensity... I was about to say we need an early goal... We've got one

Maybe this system isn't working? Too many spaces to exploit at the back, not enough creativity in attack. We need results now, not in 12 months time.

 

[Critchknows]

Great goals. Dembele made a massive difference to our tempo

 

[Ollygon]

What a difference since bringing some better players on. Even Carey has improved. Decent goal.

Bloody hell.

Climb upon my knee Sonny Boy.

When there are grey skies,
I don't mind the grey skies,
You make them blue, Sonny Boy

 

[BigHandsOliverKahn]

Surely lessons will be learnt after this? Can't keep holding back the better players.

 

[Chunkylad]

Smugness as fuckness……

 

[AngelBFC]

Please please sign Dembele please

 

[hertfordseasider]

Carey needs to have free rein but he needs 2 decent midfielders behind him.

 

[JJpool]

CAREY DOUBTERS - HAVE A BIT OF THAT!!!

I doubt he can get a hat trick....

 

[Yarmouth Seasider]

 

[HetzkeBlaster]

Anyone fancy getting a big plate, putting some words on it, getting a knife and fork and eating their words?

Ok I’ll bite, excuse the pun, buts the same as Peterborough is it not, start with Dembele etc but he won’t learn will he?

 

[Meliora]

Please tell me what exactly Carey offers ?

 

[Lost Seasider]

Please tell me what exactly Carey offers ?

Goals.

 

[Grumpy_no_more]

Haha eat my words

Happy to eat mine too. I only said it to spur him on!

 

[tangysider]

Haha , typical. Not like I don’t want him to succeed. Maybe this is the start of a good season for him

He is a young lad who at least has a go at shooting. Tracking back he is no good but if he had 2 good midfielders behind him he does not need to track back

Anyone fancy getting a big plate, putting some words on it, getting a knife and fork and eating their words?

Anyone fancy trying to defend that first half performance

Nice one sonny

 

[Athers]

Amazing what playing your best players does

 

[Macseasider]

Football's ** mint innit.

 

[JOHNMAJORTOM]

get the eff in. wow.

 

[Dark_Side_of_the_Lune]

Crutch will be wanting to take dembele and Lavery off now

 

[neyo]

Lol this game has gone mental. #frantic

 

[Graves]

Cannot believe Critchley didn't start with this team.

Now sit down and be quiet, there’s a good lad.

 

[BillyRonsonNo7]

He very rarely makes subs at half time. We've been in the fight and hit the bar. He still thinks how we've set up is right.

Credit where Credits due Kurt. Although I agree it's a first

 

[1966_and_all_that]

I have been saying for ages how good Carey is .

Well, for 5 minutes anyway.

 

[20togo]

Critchley needs to learn some lessons about how to set up a team..

 

[SeasideKurt]

Carey? This season's Turton for you .

Yep fantastic. What about the other 45 minutes where he was absolutely shit? Do we forget that? What about every single game he's played this season where he's been awful? That's the Carey we want.

But actually, I'm right in what I said. Dembele is far better than Carey and will have a better career. We should have our best players on the pitch. Simple as that.

Turton was, still is and always will be shit.

 

[bill40]

Anyone fancy trying to defend that first half performance

Well it was all about lack of quality in the final third... Cont p94

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

Blackpool fans look brilliant behind the goal.

 

[Barbarian]

I'm pleased for Carey.

 

[mull]

What an absolute band of knee jerkers we've become . Modern football is so demanding . Game of two halves n all that .
Critchley IS horribly horribly negative . But what a cracking local derby

 

[Olliesoffhistrolley]

He is a young lad who at least has a go at shooting. Tracking back he is no good but if he had 2 good midfielders behind him he does not need to track back

I was saying to my son if he chips in with goals he’s worth his place . If he is now going to do that great . I appreciate he is still young and have never written him off but thought he might need a loan . Happy for him , long may it continue!

 

[SeasideKurt]

Credit where Credits due Kurt. Although I agree it's a first

No, it isn't any credit to Critchley. This is how we should be setting up from minute 1.

 

[Wizzerboy]

Can’t believe how shit Sonny Carey is

Glad you've realised

 

[BFC_BFC_BFC]

Maybe this system isn't working? Too many spaces to exploit at the back, not enough creativity in attack. We need results now, not in 12 months time.

I think we just need to decide whether we want to win games or whether we want to come out and fanny around... This second half (just like when we went 3-0 down with 10) once we liven up and actually play with a bit of energy and intent, we can beat anyone.

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

Now sit down and be quiet, there’s a good lad.

How many times do we need to say his first half team is shit. How do the fans know and not Critchley. Starting the likes of Kouassi is a joke.

 

[rememberlesshannon]

If the manager doesn't learn from this selection wise he never will.

 

[Olliesoffhistrolley]

Goals.

I know it’s great when that happens

 

[Macseasider]

Carey is my new favourite player.

 

[thedevilsadvocate]

Dembele on the bench . Yeah right !

 

[JOHNMAJORTOM]

phone in hand wating on a WINNING GOAL. cmon utmp

 

[Olliesoffhistrolley]

Goals.

About bloody time

 

[Wizzerboy]

Critchley needs to learn some lessons about how to set up a team..

But he won't

 

[XBeds-Now-Kings_Meaburn]

Is fleetwoods ground the only one that has 4 stands but 3 of which dont go the full length of the side or end they are on ?

 

[hertfordseasider]

Fleetwood are absolutely rattled!

Much better this half but he has to stop being so negative from the start. We are a much better team when we are going for it.

 

[Athers]

No, it isn't any credit to Critchley. This is how we should be setting up from minute 1.

Glad someone gets it. Everyone knows Dembele is a better option than TOB apart from the man that picks the team. It’s infuriating

 

[SeasideKurt]

Absolutely all over them. If we hadn't of set up like dickheads at the start of the game. I said this lot are shit at the back.

 

[voyeur]

I think we just need to decide whether we want to win games or whether we want to come out and fanny around... This second half (just like when we went 3-0 down with 10) once we liven up and actually play with a bit of energy and intent, we can beat anyone.

Anyone? Drawing at Fleetwood?

 

[Ollygon]

Dembele again.

 

[Athers]

Fleetwood are absolutely rattled!

Much better this half but he has to stop being so negative from the start. We are a much better team when we are going for it.

Spot on. Sadly we have a wet blanket of a manager who’s too scared to lose and not brave enough to set out to win games
