Actually, your last sentence is incorrect, as we now appear to be consistently shit away from home!

We are one of the most consistent teams in the league. We set up to do the same thing every match. What is different is whether it works because of the way the opposition play.
The inconsistency is that it rarely delivers the performance Mr Sadler wanted when he described the Blackpool way. The way we play is inconsistent with that but is consistent because we don’t seem to have a management team able to change it.
 
“Back pass Billies” then a big hoof to no one
No chance of promotion with this totally boring football
Give it to Dembele and he might save the game
Get Thompson and Connolly off and bring on Dale and anybody!

It's because the algorithms and computer jiggery pokery say this is the way and he has the elite coaching badge that has taught him this.

Honestly shocking how poor our away form has been.

This is 100% down to coaching, can’t blame the players for everything, especially when it’s the third straight time it’s happened.

Players need to take a good look at themselves too AT, they need to find spaces to allow the players on the ball to pick the pass out and that’s down to them but they go hiding and obviously low on confidence . It’s an all round clustefuck!

My God I miss having players of the like DJ Campbell and GTF and Keogh…ie) ** winners in the team. This nicey nicey possession based borefest is killing me.

Trouble is it is like that from the top down, it's all so grey and dull, personalities need not apply. Plodders welcome.
 
While team is slow , ball speed non existent , hoof it long . I've seen faster walking footy teams and CJ is playing statues .

I had typed some thoughts about that - but I lost the will to live part way through and … oh god it’s happening again.

Don’t worry. I’ve now gone into a depressive spiral where I’m starting to believe that this is our level.

Re

CJ has been ineffective since he was given a contract extension.
Hang on he is bound to struggle against a 16 year old
Makes a mockery of our stance not to give Apter game time

Imagine having an attack minded right full back who also knows where the net is amd not playing him
 
Win or lose tonight it really doesn't matter! Its been clear for a long time that Simon re-appointing Critchley was just naive and lazy management! Abandoning us overnight for the bright lights of the prem, then sacked by Villa, sacked by QPR after just TWELVE games in charge, yet according to Sadler, he was the only name that repeatedly popped up on his independent list of potential new managers?

Yeah right!

Some Bolton fans aired their displeasure when they appointed Ian Evatt, so experience or no experience, I'd currently appoint Dobbie in a heartbeat..
 
Norburn having a master class - in how not to be a central midfilder, defensive or otherwise. absolute liability, please take him off and bring carey on. put morgan in the middle and let him do wjat morgan is actually good at which is driving the ball forward. thompson's having a bit of a shocker as well. Lyons on for him second half and Cj over to the left.

Please please please.

lets let norburn go in the transfer wimdow as well.

i dont think ive ever had such a negative reaction to a blackpool player as i do with norburn
 
While we may be fed up with how the season is going all this talk about Critchley going is tripe.

Uncle Simon nailed his colours to the mast on this. If we were looking at the drop at this stage of the season - different story.

But while we are not as far up the table as we would like we are nowhere near that position so he will be staying. Saying otherwise now is a waste of effort.

I’m not saying I like that - but it’s how I see it.

I just don’t think we have the players tbh. We’re a bang average L1 setup. Nice Motörhead song btw.

I predicted 1-2 but how shit we are I doubt it. Pissed off on a few counts. Firstly we should be in Keswick but the ** weather put paid to that campsite flooded. Then secondly this ** shit.

You had a lucky escape Sooty. Camped in Buttermere last night and it was brutal. 50mph winds, didn’t get any sleep. Then I’ve come back to this crap
