Is this our worst team in the last 5 years

I was convinced this was potentially a very good squad at the start of the season but the more I watch the more I think it’s one of the most disappointing for years. Yes we have had bad injuries but many of those have played this season and not delivered.

We still do have bad injuries.
 
I feel sorry for Evatt for having to work with this tripe. Banks is awful, Ihiekwe is awful, Honeyman does absolutely nothing every time he plays. The only player who I give a bit of credit to is Fletcher for actually being able to stick the ball away. The rest of the team is just genuinely terrible. If Evatt keeps us up, that would be an unbelievable achievement.
 
Picking up more points under Evatt but that wasn't good.
Think he might have to change the formation.
Three at the back with them all right footed and Hamilton as a left footed right wing back isn't working.
Need to find a place in the team for Banks with Bowler out and Evans had a good half today.
Id be looking at 4 3 3.

Not sure Fletcher can hold the line on his own in a 4-3-3 needs someone close to him.

I think 433 is the future too

As things stand with the injuries nothing is perfect.
Maybe Husband coming in for Ihiekwe and Casey switching to the right will help.
Possibly need to try Banks as a RWB as Hamilton and Lyons don't look like the answer.
 
I don't really think the formation is the issue this time . With Bruce it was but I think it just needs time and players back. Imray will be great as a right wing back. Ennis will make a big difference. Hubby made a difference today coming on. Patience is what we need but it isn't something that fans are known for.

Banks awful? Really

Banks is not awful !
 
We are missing half a team of normal starters.
Knew this was a tricky period to overcome, until we can get most of the injured players back and fill those obvious gaps in January.
Lost the last 3 against Orient. Thumped 3-0 there last season. So this was an improvement imo, achieved with a seriously under strength team.

Ennis, Taylor, Morgan, Imray and Bowler that’s 5 who would be in today’s team
I recognise it was under strength but many of those injured have already played this season in losing performances

"Banks is awful" Didn't read beyond, you're clueless. He should be starting every game.
 
Banks awful? Really
Yes, really. Other than his goal against P’boro, who at the team were by far and away the worst team in the league, I haven’t seen a single thing that makes me think he’s decent. It’s Andy Lyons all over again - prior to his injury, people raved about Lyons like he was Cafu, but it was based on absolutely nothing. We’re doing the same to Banks as well now 😂 It’s madness,

Evidence. That’s all I ask. What exactly have you seen that I haven’t, other than a one off “flash in the pan” goal against P’boro? He gets bullied off the ball in every duel, he can’t head, he can’t cross, he’s not a natural finisher, he’s not defensive. What does he bring to the table? You have the audacity to call me clueless as well….

Apologies, but I need more than “vibes” to be convinced that he’s league one standard.
 
5 years? Probably. Clearly something was not right at the club over the summer, the injuries, the lack of cohesion, new players “bedded in” about as well as a shotgun in a blancmange. We have to give the new manager time. Today was a bit of a dogs dinner as usual but we got an important point.

Serious questions need to be asked about the overall club setup in terms of training, fitness and oversight from upper management/ownership. It is 100% unacceptable to go from promotion being the stated aim and serious money being spent on recruitment to hoping we can get up into midtable.

That being said we back Evatt, support the team and make sure we don’t let our club enter the abyss of league two.
 
I came away from that first half deflated badly. I know we drew 1-1 and avoided defeat but my word today was dreadful to be honest. Let’s be real

And yet nothing about CJ? Our worst ever player to get to this level of appearances
 
Becoming tedious this . Every single post .
Blackpool FC managers need to wake the fuck up then and start picking players who can show they are a professional footballer. I despise watching someone who has absolutely no quality, can’t pass, can’t tackle, can’t head and refuses to battle for the shirt. Shittest Blackpool player I have ever watched who is constantly starting. It needs singing louder. He needs getting rid of. Disruptive to this football club for four years.

Yep , tedious .
 
Nah your one of those who likes a scapegoat,when CJ has gone you'll move on to someone else.

Maxwell
Madine
Turton
Husband
Fletcher etc etc etc all been in the Scapegoat gang it's what some of our fans like to do.
No. I never said anything about Maxwell apart from he wasn’t Championship quality, which has wasn’t. Husband I like.

Turton was absolutely shite. Which shows with where he’s ended up after rarely playing for Huddersfield.

How about counter act my comments about CJ with some footballing talk? Tell me what he does well and how he fits into a professional footballer team.

How about answering why he loses the ball over 40% of the time he has it? How does that help us?

And for extra context he had 10 passes yesterday and 60% of those went to Leyton Orient players.

1 cross. 1 unsuccessful cross. 0 chances created. 0 successful dribbles.
 
Depends what you mean by 'a team' - I don't think Saturday was a great team but I think with the squad when we have our best XI it's nowhere near our worst team.

Is this a wind up? Banks awful? Honeyman does nothing? Let’s wait and see when we have got a full squad. We are a top six side when everyone is fit.

And your numb from the neck up with those comments. Football brain knowledge of a Flea
 
Nowhere near the worst side in however many years. With a full strength squad and Evatt at the helm we will be a good match for ANY of the shite in this league.
I think we’ll finish comfortably in mid table.
After New Year we’ll be flying.

Totally agree - we have players in the squad who are far better than what we've had but ironically the best ones have been injured!
 
Think you need to change the record ..or the scapegoat. Or ..why not pick 10 more ...go the whole hog.
No thanks. I'll call a tree a tree until it's not acceptable to keep playing under performing and non committed, untalented footballers who are a core root to our problems at the moment.
 
If it's the best squad in 5 years we wouldn't be 4th from the bottom. It really is as simple as that. We have Bondo on the bench!
