No I just pull up your poor posts. I'd hazard a guess at being far more intelligent than you also.

Thank you. I know that sometimes coming up against a superior intellect I do struggle. However, in your case, (a) you are ill-mannered, (b) you are all too ready to use bad language and (c) you are condescending. Even if you possess an intellect - the jury's out- your attitude leaves an awful lot to be desired.

Have a guess at how many fucks I give about your opinion?
 
This isnt about the result which is bad enough...its about the performance which is simply unacceptable...not one outfeld player warrants a 6 (I guess Maxwell didnt do much wrong)
 
Evans shithouse teams never change do they? As td53 said a few weeks ago, the test is not against the likes of Swindon who let you play, but the likes of Gillingham who don’t.

I'll save us all a job as I've seen 0 posts from you worth reading.
 
Rookie manager, with yet to be proven lge 1 players, expect results like this. Said it all along, need some lge 1 experience. Players we've brought in are lge 2 proven, big difference. Of the ones we had left, Turton, husband etc, remember we were only 13th last season. People caught in the hype of the signings expecting to win every week
 
NC needs to start getting the boys at it from the get go, 2 Shite goals either side of the start. Wake the fuck it from the whistle.

Thats far too sensible a post. All I've read is 'we're going up, champions probably etc etc'

Some good signings have been made, some poor. The only people who fancied us to go up are quite a lot on here. Nobody else did, media, forums etc.

Actually fuck it, we're going up as champions

Quite a lot of away commentators fancied us pre-season.

If I was Neil C I'd be going mental after that. Agree with some of the 'need to gel' comments, no excuses for those individual performances all over the pitch. Poor.

Gillingham were a horrible side, but effective. Ref shocking.

Need to be patient, it’s all new at this level to NC but I still think we will be ok. Better teams in this division at the moment, talk of walking the league was always very optimistic.

Well said. At least someone on here can put the performance into perspective.
It's early days and bedding in so many new / young players is bound to have a few ups and downs. The rest of you morons with your overeaction is just plain pathetic.
 
Theres no talking on the pitch, someone to lift them. Only Madine was shouting when he came on and we seemed to liven up.
 
I think we can’t play that formation with the way we defend. Need to be more solid. No stand out players today. With the formation you need to at least cause problems for the opposition. We were clueless and didn’t swap anything up. Poor from the manager, poor from the defence and less than average everywhere else
 
First half, took us a while to get started, stupid goal to concede, but bearing in mind the way the ref was blowing up all afternoon probably shouldnt have been given. Last quarter nothing coming off, a lot of misplace and overhit passes. Second half we came out too relaxed the goal was really bad, from the camera position there wasnt anyone chasing back, and there was no way he should have scored from where he was. Gillingham then just spent the whole game falling over and wasting time. Should have been at least 12 minutes extra time. The ref really was the shi77est ive seen for a long time. Not a good performance Cj was shackled, mostly by being fouled every time he was on the ball, keshi seemed off the pace a bit today, ward was busy but ineffective, Robson the same. Yates worked hard without any real threat. id just say bad day oat the office, NC will be disapointed i think. learn from it and move on to next saturday. Kaikai looked sharp when he came on, Husband got caught out three or four times when he was bought on, he always makes me nervous.

I would give Yates a rest next week, maybe play with CJ down the middle with Kaikai and Bez.
 
The team think they are better maybe than they really are ? I know this Nottingham is extremely poor and should be no where near the starting 11. I’ve only managed so far to watch both the away games and although they had loads of possession in both they just seem to lack ideas in the last third. Hopefully they will turn it round next week.
 
I’m sure NC has identified players he wants at CB etc, but he’s not the one doing the negotiating. The board have to either back him now, or decide he’s had enough backing and tell him to get on with it and start winning.
 
On a broader issue, all this "game management" twattery needs to be stamped out of the game. The Gillingham players have clearly been coached to fall over in both boxes and every time they lose the ball.

The refs ought to yellow card the offenders and the FA ought to take steps to eliminate it. They won't, of course. That's why they're called The FA.
 
To those of you who only listened to the BBC Lancs commentary then you would probably think we were complete garbage (BBC Lancs commentators are clueless and at times I though they were watching a different game). Well we weren't complete garbage, we were just mostly garbage. For some reason today we just couldn't find a final ball - plenty of possession and plenty of strings of passes - but all in areas which had zero threat. Gillingham managed to completely nullify the threat of CJ and Lubala didn't really look like he fancied it today. The Midfield misplaced passes and passed behind the overlapping man time after time and the only player I thought had a good game was Jerry Yates - unfortunately the vast majority of chances we created were created by him chasing the ball down and winning it back, as such he wasn't able to be on the end of the balls which ultimately resulted. Turton probably had the majority of the ball of any Blackpool player today and whilst he didn't do a great deal wrong, he poses almost no threat with it as he's just not an attacking player. I think Mitchell was let down by Lubala not being at the races - as such was occupied defending and had no options when he did have the ball. Robson and Anderson gave the ball away too frequently and struggled to make any second balls which seemed a bit strange for them as usually they're very sharp. Ward was poor and didn't really get involved in the game - he ended up playing far too deep so his attacking traits were wasted and he doesn't put himself about enough to be any real use in that position. The less said about Nottingham and Epiketeta today the better. Nottingham made 2 awful mistakes but still looked more solid than Marvin in my opinion. Maxwell didn't have a lot to do tbh and wasn't really at fault for either goal.

Steve Evans masterclass ? Critch showing a degree of naivety ? Whatever it was, an improved performance is required and a rocket up the arse before kick-off is clearly needed next week.
 
Be honest, the football is poor. Critchley isn't exactly convincing me. If we don't learn about starting slowly or how to control teams like Gillingham we can forget any kind of success. I know things take time but that was a million miles away from hope.
