I thought this thread was positives an not blind optimism.We will end up beating Reading and Burnley out the blue or something stupid.
It’s the Blackpool way. I still think we have a win at deepdale in us yet before the end of the season.I thought this thread was positives a not blind optimism.
Only if we play better football that what we're playing.It’s the Blackpool way. I still think we have a win at deepdale in us yet before the end of the season.
They’re a bunch of Jessie’s some of our so called supporters. We’ve had plenty of relegation scraps before over the years. Until it’s mathematically impossible we’re staying up.In football you don't always win the games you think you will, a couple of more unexpected wins against Swansea etc aren't impossible.
We're in a poor position, but now isn't the time to give up.
If the unthinkable happens along with Morecambe staying up, i can thoroughly recommend a stay at the Clarendon Hotel. Bar shuts at 10pm but the basement night club is open till 1am.Possibly avoid two humiliating derbies next season, as Accies and Shrimps in bottom four
Keep Connolly and Thorniley in the centre they were defensively superb yesterdaySounds like Nelson had a tight groin but Mick didn't want to risk it, given all the games coming up.
So that'll be positive if he's available next game.
Lavery might not be out that long, but unknown yet.
Might need Connolly for midfield if Nelson is available to come in at cb but agree they were solid yesterdayKeep Connolly and Thorniley in the centre they were defensively superb yesterday
Perhaps if we actually passed the ball to feet Josh may be a bit more than an impact player. For us to stay up he needs to be.Players were up for the physical side of the game and giving as good as they got and winning personal battles
Rotheram didnt saunter through the midfiled unchalleneged
Yates workrate was immense. Thornley looked solid. Connolly solid as ever. Maxwell pulled off another good save. CJ covered a lot of ground and the trajectory of the throw; much improved.
We now realise Bowler is an impact player off the bench.
Yeah, but good to have an option. Or we might have a game where height is vital.Keep Connolly and Thorniley in the centre they were defensively superb yesterday
Yes agree would need move Hubbie cb, Lyons LB and Gabriel rb if Nelson not fit to allow Connolly to play in yet another position.Might need Connolly for midfield if Nelson is available to come in at cb but agree they were solid yesterday
Feel a bit sorry for Charlie, he's absolutely not a MM type player but he always gives his all, under Appleton it was left to him to run our midfield which he clearly needed a Stewart type player with him and even yesterday it amazed me at all our throw ins, he was the only player moving to try and get on the ball and he keeps taking it in all situations and our more experienced players just leave him to it.I thought Charlie looked like he benefited from the break. Back to getting to getting into some space, wanting the ball and a couple of great tackles.
Depends on the league, things definitely go down if we do...ST prices frozen for next season.
Connolly is 1” taller than Nelson.Yeah, but good to have an option. Or we might have a game where height is vital.
Doesn't seem it and doesn't look as dominant in the air.Connolly is 1” taller than Nelson.
Good points.Yes agree would need move Hubbie cb, Lyons LB and Gabriel rb if Nelson not fit to allow Connolly to play in yet another position.
Should be given a long contract and club captain for me, with all the lightweights injured all the time he really is a warrior.
Some of us said that last week about Bowler and were slaughtered. Goes to show...Players were up for the physical side of the game and giving as good as they got and winning personal battles

We can't afford the gap above Cardiff to widen though, as we don't want to be a battle between us & just 3 other teams.I had a fish dinner at Yorkshire fisheries and nowhere near as good as Kays in Cleveleys.
It only cost me £2 return from Liverpool thanks to Northern rail Offer.
Trains we’re all on time,
We are only 1 point from safety today.
The gap this time last week was 3 points. Now it's one to Cardiff and 5 to Rotherham.We can't afford the gap above Cardiff to widen though, as we don't want to be a battle between us & just 3 other teams.
We simply have to start winning games.
Nelson 6’ exactly Connolly 6’1”Doesn't seem it and doesn't look as dominant in the air.
Connolly needs to win more headers then....Nelson 6’ exactly Connolly 6’1”
You’re not wrong. By the way Hamilton is 6”1’ also, and I don’t think he knows how to head a ball.Connolly needs to win more headers then....
and equally so I said that if he wasn't a match winner then you'd be gloating you were right. So I suppose that you're happy to be right on this occasion. Meanwhile we dropped two points. Bowler valued at 4 million with just four months left on his contract, Hamilton wouldn't get 400k. Spot the difference. But hey if you think Hamilton is a better player than Bowler then that's your choice to make.Some of us said that last week about Bowler and were slaughtered. Goes to show...

I don’t think anyone is happy, but he was largely ineffective during the game. I’m convinced that he’d have had a bigger influence on that game coming on in the last 20.and equally so I said that if he wasn't a match winner then you'd be gloating you were right.

totally nonsense comparison. Tony Green was an attacking midfielder. Bentley was mainly a left back who could play in midfield. Two totally different players with different strengths. CJ and Bowler are both wingers. So do you prefer CJ to Bowler? Like I said, a few clubs coveted Bowler. Not so sure Hamilton was in demand or ever has been by bigger clubs than us!It's not so black and white.
Here's another example for you. Tony Green was always a better player than Billy Bentley as a midfielder, but if the team shape required one to track back and cover the defence, then Billy would be your choice.
In the situation we're in, McCarthy wants defensive solidity. Bowler has a lot of attributes but defensive solidity isn't one of them.
