Harrogate Town v Blackpool Official Matchnight Thread 02.12.25

[585 = never give up]

We can now concentrate on winning the FA Cup ........
With this team, we couldn't even win a walking football cup.
Until the January window, where do we go from here?

 

[EdgeleyTangerine]

He’s put a lot of money in this season??

He’s going to have to put in twice as much in January

 

[JJpool]

Whoever authorised the signing of these 2 so called keepers deserves the immediate sack. Or send for me and I will personally give them a good hard kick in the testicles.

The 2 keepers was a disastrous move and was one reason amongst many that we looked so shaky early season.

BPF has improved a bit and looks better than this guy, but even he has a mistake in him often. Against Cardiff he should have saved that last goal, even if he made some decent stops before that.

On sat he parried back into danger for their 3rd, when a good keeper pushes it away.

 

[AngelBFC]

Told you never put a manager in charge who has played for the club.

And the basis for that statement is what exactly ?

 

[Bullwinkle]

I’ve seen enough for this season now. Didn’t think I’d ever say that at the start of December but I’m not watching this group again. It’s been consistently appalling and it ain’t changing so thanks but no thanks.

 

[hertfordseasider]

Some of it. But Sadler is a great owner, maybe he’s made some poor decisions but only with good intentions.

I've always said that, his intentions are great, but he just doesn't know what he's doing. The vermin spent phuck all and took money and ruined the club, Sadler puts millions in and just wastes it, either way we are looking at league 2 next season and ultimately he takes responsibility, like he takes it if we do well.

 

[thefutureistangerine]

"Maybe"? Talking strictly on-field stuff we're in a worse position than when he took over, which is terrible when you consider the money he has spent. And we're in this position because of a series of bad decisions.

 

[Tangerine1953!]

He’s going to have to put in twice as much in January

He’s not going to is he and don’t blame him

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Neither keeper is good enough.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Meanwhile the Cods 0-3 up at Tranmere who dicked us in the last round.

When it rains it pours.

 

[Tangerine1953!]

Maybe us going down will wake this club up again. It’s a horror show throughout.

 

[NewburyOne]

Not for the first time, Horsfall shows just how thick he is. £10K a week, for an absolute plodder.

Downwards.

 

[Tangerinenick]

We normally get half decent keepers. How on earth did we end up with two

 

[EdgeleyTangerine]

He’s not going to is he and don’t blame him

So he was happy to give the idiot Bruce a load of money but not Evatt who he has brought in on realising Bruce was a moron.

First thing Sadler needs to do before January is sack Downes

 

[Blackpool_Gaz]

Meanwhile the Cods 0-3 up at Tranmere who dicked us in the last round.

When it rains it puts.

Anyone would dick us at the moment

 

[EdgeleyTangerine]

We normally get half decent keepers. How on earth did we end up with two

Because we had two idiots in charge of recruitment over the summer

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

Argh. We would have won if we played 4-4-2 or 4-3-3!

You've nailed it. Beating Harrogate is an impossible task regardless of the formation.

 

[Eternaloptimist]

Good, fcuk off.

 

[EdgeleyTangerine]

Meanwhile the Cods 0-3 up at Tranmere who dicked us in the last round.

When it rains it pours.

When we played primarily an U18 team?

 

[1966_and_all_that]

And the basis for that statement is what exactly ?

Bullshit

 

[20togo]

I've always said that, his intentions are great, but he just doesn't know what he's doing.

Who CJ?

 

[hertfordseasider]

He’s put a lot of money in this season??

It doesn't matter if he put in 400 million if it's misspent and fritters away by totally incompetent staff. I wish people would stop using the money he puts in as a marker for him being a great owner. He's shit if he is spunking this much money and we are getting worse season on season.

 

[Victorsponge]

Well the fans got what they wanted, Ian Evatt.
Although I don't imagine Sadler haduch of a short list to work through.
I honestly don't know what Sadler does now, it not like any of these players are going to attract bids from other clubs so we're stuck with the useless lot of them.

 

[Wilburrabbit]

Pathetic

 

[bill40]

Surely this the nadir???

 

[JJpool]

Meanwhile the Cods 0-3 up at Tranmere who dicked us in the last round.

When it rains it pours.

 

[Adams Kebab]

Who CJ?

I don’t even think his intentions are any good.

Doesn’t give a fuck when he plays.

 

[Blackpool_Gaz]

Harrogate are too much for Blackpool. Maybe we need to adjust our level lol

 

[johnnyb]

Surely this the nadir???

I certainly hope so !!

 

[C_C_C_Cider]

And the basis for that statement is what exactly ?

Take a look at where we are, another manager can't motivate

 

[EdgeleyTangerine]

Another game that just proves the squad is lacking in any real quality.

How is Downes still in the job despite 2 years of constant decline under his watch?

 

[Adams Kebab]

Meanwhile the Cods 0-3 up at Tranmere who dicked us in the last round.

Put your knob away.

Routed to the bottom of the league.

 

[C_C_C_Cider]

We’ve had mangers that’s haven’t played for the club and we’ve been bad

This one seems to be worse

 

[poolfc]

Rocking All Over The World and doing selfies seems a bit OTT!

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Put your knob away.

Were shite just face facts.

It’ll be same again Sunday.

 

[C_C_C_Cider]

Morty, now stop being an idiot.

That was when football was football

 

[SeasideKurt]

Were shite just face facts.

Think he got the jist of that already. But using Fleetwood as stick to beat us with just makes you look like a massive wanker. Give it a rest.

 

[Sooty59]

** ** ** embarrassing

 

[C_C_C_Cider]

Wot a load of bollocks

This managers proving me right.

 

[tangerine.com]

This one seems to be worse

Bruce said recruitment cost his job.

 

[NewburyOne]

Get the players in early and make them run on the dunes until they vomit, then make them do it all again. If they're not going to earn their money with results, they can earn it by having their legs run off them. I feel for any Blackpool fan who made the effort tonight, yet again, you have been let down.

 

[S88bfc]

They are all a disgrace to the shirt
I’m sick of them

 

[La Gaviota]

Well, it’s over and I’m going to try and find some positives. Surely Evatt will never play a back 3 for the foreseeable future. The CJ wing back idea will be binned. Banks will surely start. We didn’t totally capitulate. It wasn’t a league game. We have another chance to get something right on Sunday.

 

[1966_and_all_that]

If Downs is employed by Blackpool FC in January then something is wrong. If Lee Evans is still employed by Blackpool FC in January then someone is taking the piss.

 

[Tangerine1953!]

What can Evatt say about this what we haven’t already heard?

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Think he got the jist of that already. But using Fleetwood as stick to beat us with just makes you look like a massive wanker. Give it a rest.

Maybe I should have said Port Vale then 5-0 winners over Barnsley one of only 2 teams below us.

And just for good measure even Plymouth won another team below us.

220 Pool fans

Frankly I couldn’t give a shit about any other team but Blackpool FC going through their worst period since ownership change.
