Just signed new contract I think.I never liked him 7 years ago
we need a big clear out this Summer
been a very mix season for this blackpool team
Lavery? Beesley?I'm not a fan of Madine but it's not just him, quite frankly I don't think any of our forwards are good enough
Yes what a mistake that was, Very lazy in my eyesJust signed new contract I think.
Hopefully Beesley will take Madine place next seasonBig changed required in this summer for me, otherwise it’ll be us jumping up and down come the end of season signing “jump around if you’re going down”
Fair enough, Beesley I'll reserve judgement on. I do think we need a new striker though quite badly. Same goes for a wingerLavery? Beesley?
Be fair. Give them more time and opportunity.
That would almost be criminal, I love Jerry and he should be playing in front of Lavery, he's a much better all round player. I'd love to see him partner Beesley from the start.Jerry, well I just have to accept that he’s unlikely to be here next season. A sad & remarkable turn of events.
I posted about his selection in the u23 match v Liverpool. It didn’t look right then, and what we’ve since indicates a problem. Who knows what that problem is, but Jerry has fallen from grace with Critch.That would almost be criminal, I love Jerry and he should be playing in front of Lavery, he's a much better all round player.

He was just fantastic last season and his partnership with Simms was something I was hoping would be a permanent fixture. If Jerry and Thorniley go in the summer then we will be the losers for that, both players worthy of playing from the start.I posted about his selection in the u23 match v Liverpool.

Mobility, that’s what I expect. We cannot have a main striker who can generally only score with headers or a penalty. He’s ok at what he does, but he’s just not mobile enough. He often slows down our play and it impacts on the performance of others. He’s someone to turn to when needed as plan B, but he’s never plan A for me.No...I disagree! Penalty apart I thought Madine did well. He'd obviously been asked to play head ons and they worked. What happened after he'd headed on is not his problem. He also held the ball up well and laid off well. Sometimes I wonder what people expect!
I think we actually agree in a way. I don't look on him as a striker, rather a forward midfielder who lays stuff off to strikers in and around the area. Note that when Kirk went off Yates came on to work off one side of Madine with Lavery working the other side. OK, it didn't work but that wasn't because of Madine.Mobility, that’s what I expect.

With no one running onto themMadine had a good game today ,won loads of headers
I think the point is, every game with Gaz we are one dimensional as a team. It’s a safe percentage selection from Critch, but he won’t get away with that next season.I think we actually agree in a way.

Exactly.With no one running onto them
I think you'll find the player who slows play down more than anyone is Keshi. Madindoes OK for me.Mobility, that’s what I expect.

Said this forever and had people crying about it. Keshi is bang bang average. Takes a year to release the ball. Consistently slows play down. Zero chance of another championship club coming in for him.I think you'll find the player who slows play down more than anyone is Keshi. Madindoes OK for me.
That shot summed up his season, not good enough.Feel for Jerry...
His disappearance straight down the tunnel at the final whistle was ominous.
You’ll find that Keshi and others in midfield look up & find no movement. I’ll give you Birmingham as an example when Madine was sub and Keshi played in the same midfield position. He didn’t slow it down that day!I think you'll find the player who slows play down more than anyone is Keshi. Madindoes OK for me.
Sort of agree. Off the ball movement a massive problemYou’ll find that Keshi and others in midfield look up & find no movement. I’ll give you Birmingham as an example when Madine was sub and Keshi played in the same midfield position. He didn’t slow it down that day!
Spot on NigeFront 2 were absolutely woeful today, Lavery not been the same player since his injury.
Couldn't agree more.You’ll find that Keshi and others in midfield look up & find no movement. I’ll give you Birmingham as an example when Madine was sub and Keshi played in the same midfield position. He didn’t slow it down that day!
Disagree, maybe not as mobile as some but not lazy.Yes what a mistake that was, Very lazy in my eyes
he won umpteen flick on's that nobody gambled forHopefully Beesley will take Madine place next season
Madine won nothing today and he’s so immobile it’s unbelievable
Oh godI never liked him 7 years ago

easily our best player before his injury, Critch having a look at him in centre mid whilst nothing on the gamesSaid this forever and had people crying about it. Keshi is bang bang average.

Madine had a good game today ,won loads of headers
It’s been a disappointing day. Who knows how it might have panned out had Madine done better with the penalty?Fair enough, Beesley I'll reserve judgement on. I do think we need a new striker though quite badly. Same goes for a winger
I think that sums up this season though for me and a few of our other players too.It’s been a disappointing day. Who knows how it might have panned out had Madine done better with the penalty?
I’m expecting half a dozen out and the same in. However, I can’t remember how many loans there can be in the squad.I think that sums up this season though for me and a few of our other players too.
' If only we'd have done better.'
I just think to progress some are at their limit already and they are giving all they have so we need a few upgrades especially in the attacking positions
Totally agree and I think that's why it's frustrating really cos you can see how close we are. All said and done though a thoroughly enjoyable season which for me anyway ends at home with a poor performance on one hand but loads of positives and optimism for what's next.I’m expecting half a dozen out and the same in. However, I can’t remember how many loans there can be in the squad.
Madine seems to have double value to Critch, ie: defending corners, free kicks. Perhaps, he’s also a ‘leader’ and/or popular. Sadly, he’s way short of a 20 goals/season. Assists?
We could also do with more goals throughout the team.
What position would we be in the league with an extra 20 goals (that’s not much spread across the squad/per match).
He was dog awful. Championship strikers don’t have good games because they won a few headers. That’s national league standards.Madine had a good game today ,won loads of headers
Said it a week or so ago, that coming above Preston is very important to the fans so yep, there was plenty on the game yesterday. Critch and the players needed and need to be reminded of that.easily our best player before his injury, Critch having a look at him in centre mid whilst nothing on the games
