We are hanging on by a string.

We have not been relegated.

However inevitable it seems we should still get behind the team and manager and for that matter the board and owner.

As unhappy with the football situation as it is there are positives within the club.

The club is well run, of that there is no doubt.

Yes, mistakes in recruitment both on and off the field have been made.

Injuries have absolutely killed us but there's not much the club can do about that. We must have had 5 or 6 long term injuries over the season to a squad that is thread bare.

BFC is not a big club and the league table has us just about right in terms of attendance and revenue.

So what do we do? Crying and stamping our feet and blaming so and so and saying 'im not going anymore' etc etc will have only a detrimental effect on the club.....

Fair weather fans can leave, good riddance. Proper supporters will, as is their right moan a bit and then get on with it. Get on with supporting the team.

We're not a flakey bunch, we've been through worse, a lot worse than relegation, and survived.

We're still fighting, the players are still fighting.

We go again on Saturday.

We shouldn't be bottom based on attendances. We are actually charging a lot and would have more attending if it weren't for this dreadful season.

Hopefully if we do go down fans stick with us, what else are they going to do on a weekend. If they're pool fans, watching us win far more games for a cheaper price should be fun.

It might actually be positive (in the end) if we bounced back with fans in attendance this time. But I'd rather stay up.

Which makes getting out of the lower leagues even more difficult which is why it was imperative that the club made the right decisions this year, which it hasn't in any way.

It's a bit galling that some of our own fanbase are calling us little old Blackpool.
 
No, actually we don’t need to calm down. When the formation is set up to get draws at HOME against the worst teams in this league. And our best players are on the bench for absolutely no reason. Anyone who thinks that CJ should be starting ahead of Bowler, Rogers or Poveda or every Sonny Carey are not intelligent at all. Or even football fans. Or want us to do well. The guy is frankly shite and after last night we don’t need to see him again this season.

There was a chance we could get out of this mess. Instead Mick has managed to make us look far worse. Less motivated.

So no, we shouldn’t calm down. At all. It’s ** embarrassing what we put out last night. I’ve seen more effort in charity games.

Jerry Yates and Jordan Thorniley were the only ones to have any credit for that first half.
 
I just don't understand why when we're desperate for 3 points against a team struggling for form themselves we set up with poor Jerry Yates running himself ragged against 4 defenders. Totally negative tactics.
McCarthy has been in the game long enough to see Patino already on a yellow card had to be substituted after the ref let him off the late challenge that bust the Swansea midfielders nose.
Instead he left him on and the inevitable happened.
I've mentioned several times why does CJ start ahead of Poveda?. Being tall and the ability to run fast doesn't mean you can play football.
McCarthy has proved to be a poor appointment. Saturday he has to play the best players which he's failed to do in his 5 games on charge.
 
We are in this mess plain and simply because the board thought the squad was good enough, so good that they even allowed Bowler to leave on deadline day.

Two shocking transfer windows which cried out for an attacking midfielder and a striker yet we failed miserably in both windows to bring in either.

Linked with two shocking managerial appointments has cost the club it’s championship status.

Finger pointed clearly at the boardroom for me.

Massive clear out needed for life in league one because with this squad we won’t be getting out of it any time soon.

Oh come on Bridcutt had a history of spending more time in the sick room than actually playing but it still didn’t stop us signing him.

Just don’t get me going on Stewart and Anderson.

My point is though they are clearly sent for scans which shows they are fully fit to play. It can happen to anyone. You have lads who come back from injury and never get injured again. Clearly not being looked after in training

Some have barely played for us, and it shouldn't be a surprise because they've barely played in the last few years. That's the point. We need to stop thinking we're going to get a full season out of players who've played about 50 times in the last 5 years. It isn't going to happen.
 
Saw enough in that second half to know that if we keep the ball on the ground and play our flair players from the start , Bowler, Poveda, Rodgers and Yates , we can stay up.

Just one issue though if I may.
How can we be expected to get behind a board who have performed so badly, and who decline to communicate with the fanbase? That is unless it's at the very infrequent and formal 'fans meeting' where fans at talked at by BM & lots of issues are left open.

I think they've done all they could to help the managers.
Injuries have killed us really.

Some players just haven't been good enough for us. Players signed in good faith have let us down.
The general (away from football) running if the club is, I think, from what I see and hear, very good.
Community engagement, the state of the ground and pitch, the plans in place for a new stand and training ground, the treatment of the players by the club is far more professional.
The Moretti and Heineken lounge initiatives.

There are all sorts of positive things going on and I appreciate that the main thing is football and playing at the highest possible level but relegation happens.
Only one team can be champions in any competition.
If we get relegated we'll bounce back......it's what we do.....I understand the criticism but I just don't understand the severity of the criticism of Mr Saddler, the board and the current manager.

MM aside, from where they started they have performed miracles on my opinion, in a relatively short space of time.

if you sign crocks then you get crocks. And we've got plenty of them in Ward, Stewart and Bridcutt. Especially, when you take into account the bull being spoken about Bishop who seems to somehow have mysteriously stayed injury free at Pompey. I've no real criticism of Sadler apart from the fact he appointed the guy responsible for bringing players in and getting contracts over the line. I wonder what the total amount of the contracts paid to the 3 crocks we've signed amounts too?

And you talk about bouncing back which I would suggest is far easier said than done. "Only one team can be champions in any competition". Don't understand the relevance of that quote at all. That applies in L1 as well as the Championship and I'd suggest not one single fan would be expecting us to win the Championship.

And yes, you are right - the main thing is football, for so many it's the only thing that is important.

Agreed. CJ is way too inconsistent at this level and there are much better options

Passionate fans will always celebrate like mad and criticise like crazy - and the sensible ones will try and apply either only where it’s warranted. Especially when we pay our money for tickets, merchandise etc - all in faith that the entire club will work hard to put on a good show for us and continue to improve / promote etc.

My slightly abbreviated version of the last few years:

Previous leeches as owners gone 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
SS did us proud buying the club as a fan.👍🏻
Some odd choices in managers.😬
A good season and We got promoted. 👍🏻👍🏻
Some of the transfer business has been woeful. 😩
Some movement on training facilities - but not sorted yet 🤔
Our promotion manager quit😡
Though that may have been down to messaging he was getting about investment in the squad (oh and Stevie G’s coattails) 😬
Another strange choice for new manager😵‍💫
More poor recruitment of injury prone players 😩
More than our fair share of injuries across the squad😩
How many red cards ???🤪
Poor results = bottom 3 😩😩
Sack strange manager 👍🏻
Recruit manager who seems incapable of adapting😩
Lose more recent signings to injuries 😩
Radio silence from the club on anything meaningful 😡

On my Emoji summary (scientific stuff) there has been some really good stuff at times and some pretty poor stuff at others. Unfortunately the balance has been too much on the poor side this season and having celebrated the good we’re now venting on the poor stuff. The senior management of the club should move away from a seeming ‘saviour complex’ and be accepting of some of the flack when stuff is going wrong - and staring at relegation is almost the worst case scenario for a football fan. (Showing my age but it used to be re-election or the club going bust were the worst).

I can be vociferous in my support and my criticism where they are warranted. I’m pretty certain that without that passion for our clubs football would not exist as a profession.

Tangerine til the end! UTMP

Plans aren't in place for the training ground or the stand, we've been shown an artist impression of a building, that's all.

Also bouncing back is very optimistic, I imagine we will lose Jerry Yates and a few others to championship sides meaning we'll end up bringing in loans or injury prone free transfers.

This is a point I've brought up, but who that is a passionate pool fan stops going if we did go down?

Is it disappointing, yes, but years ago we didn't know if we'd have a club to follow and most were staying away in sad times.

League 1 isn't the end of the world, yes you get a drop off as its less appealing to some casuals etc, less big games, but it'll also be cheaper and winning more, likely a promotion push with fans actually involved this time. Unlike the last which was damaging.

Surely going up and having some big games at this level has helped build some fans at least, especially when we were doing better, you'd think and hope many would stick with the club, especially if we're priced for league 1, it's more affordable and we sell it right.

I'd rather we stayed up bit of we ended up having a great season near the top, that can still build a fanbase up, if we complete the east and came back up, having maybe won at Wembley with 30k+ there this time, I'd imagine crowds would be far bigger back in the championship again.

Not giving up yet on this season but it doesn't have to be the disaster some are making out if we did go down. From a getting new fans attracted point of view it might in some ways be easier, as doing well in a promotion push at cheaper prices makes it more attractive then going nowhere in the league above at 30 quid.

New fans will never buy a ST straight away you have to get thrm through the door, the current 30 quid will put many off as were not doing well enough near the bottom to justify or attract many new fans at this level currently. Constantly losing isn't attractive.

Obviously a better pricing strategy at this level and doing well in this league is even better, but far more unlikely for us where we are right now.

not convinced they will reduce prices, not convinced we'd have a great season near the top in L1 and don't think we'd take anywhere near 30k to Wembley should we get there again. Don't underestimate how bad this season has been on so many levels and the effects that will have if we go down which as it stands and watching our performances gets more and more likely with the passing of each game.

Yep a negative post but the fact is everything about the club is pretty negative now when it comes to football.

They'd have to surely, it's a lesser division, tbh its was almost inexcusable going to 30 in the championship, completely misunderstood the town and how casuals attend etc. They were quick to raise it when we went up.

We've had a poor season, with mistakes at the top, but are still a decent sized club at league 1 level and if we get it right should be pushing near the top, especially if we get the fans buzzing and behind us.

I don't see why we wouldn't take 30k to Wembley if we got there again, we always have done. Most missed the last one and it's an occasion that captures the casuals.

It's obviously not an outcome I want but I can see how it could also be more positive than some are making out should we be pushing at the top end of league 1.

I think people are being far too negative, about a poor season yes, but we've had 2 great ones before it and we got promoted ahead of time really and in a season that no one could enjoy it in person.

I hope we survive and build properly from the championship but we're unlikely to be winning loads in this division based off our budget etc, but it's still possible to progress in the league below if we're doing well.

The smart thing IMO would be for the club to do almost what pne did, fill the stadium at a cheaper price, making a similar amount as less people at a higher amount. Having the fans right behind us in league 1 would be vital and a huge boost.

Reality is you can watch it from the comfort of your own home on a firestick. Save on the ticket price and drink cheaper, better beer and eat cheaper, better food.

So they don't have to play clubs with bigger support each week . If clubs were done on fan base there would be no point in playing the games . That's why Blackpool have punched above their weight and have managed to get in the championship , by the way 2 of them clubs are likely to be in the championship next season.

You have found 1 team that are smaller then us and doing well , but there is half a football league that are smaller clubs that have never made the Premiership and about a third that never made the championship, The smaller clubs do not sustain their positions for long ,because they can't match the finances of the bigger clubs . We have arrived at that situation it seems .

So no, we shouldn’t calm down. At all. It’s ** embarrassing what we put out last night. I’ve seen more effort in charity games.

Jerry Yates and Jordan Thorniley were the only ones to have any credit for that first half.

You go on about the best players being left out and you think you can pick a winning team. You are just wanting to play the team that Appleton has been failing with before getting sacked . You have no idea what goes on at training ,or in the players personal lives or if they have a niggle or a bug. All you do know is how to moan like a child that's not getting his own way .

It's the moaning that starts destroying moral , splitting fan bases and affecting the team. I personally think CJ adds to the team and to call him shite from probably someone who could be a middle aged ,over weight ,coach potato takes the biscuit.
