Rhodes back on the bench

Rhodes back on the bench

There must be an echo in here

 

[Tangman74]

Rather have Gabriel on the pitch - but not a bad line up -

 

[Albert Ross]

Rhodes back on the bench

Are you two the same poster, or is one of you a parrot?

 

[Carmartaz]

one love child missing! must be injured

 

[hertfordseasider]

It's loads of changes again, no Gabriel, no Joseph, he can't stop ** around

 

[Tangerinenick]

No Connolly .
Thank you.

 

[NewburyOne]

Bad - Gabriel dropped, CJ playing, same formation

Good - Lavery fit to start, Rhodes on the bench, Connolly dropped

Anything other than 3pts is season over, if it isn't already.

 

[SussexTangerine8888]

Surprised to see CJ playing, his confidence looked shot on Tuesday. Lavery in the team is big for us

 

[Tangman74]

Blackpool win this

 

[65 & Counting]

So the 2 players we paid the most money for Gabriel and Joseph are on the bench. What does that tell us about Clueless Critchley and our recruitment?

 

[Insider]

Morgan, Lyons, Connolly and Kouassi replaced by Coulson, Rhodes, Lavery and Casey.
I presume Morgan is injured.

 

[TangerineArmy]

Tbf he is probably telling critch he doesn't want to play but he plays him anyway.

Balls in space for him to run onto or is waste of time. Let's hope today he has one of his good games

 

[King Billy]

So the 3 players we paid the most money for Gabriel, Norburn and Joseph are on the bench. What does that tell us about Clueless Critchley and our recruitment?

So they play every game no matter what then?

Apart from Captain Norburn who starts.

 

[Roy Kent]

I’m not even going to try and predict what the result might be.

Entered the realms of car crash telly for me.

I know I shouldn’t watch but I just can’t help myself.

Ah well…

utmp (weary voice)

 

[glasshalffull]

A win today would mean nine points from the last five games. Not bad considering four of them have been away.
Come on Pool let’s stay in the hunt, and hope we get some joy from teams playing the other play off contenders.

 

[65 & Counting]

Apart from Captain Norburn who starts.

Yes, I corrected. Norburn should be benched.

 

[Victor Laszlo]

Albie Morgan, our most improved player last few months, not even on the bench.

 

[Insider]

I think you're being a little harsh. Critch has gone back to the team that started against Bolton except CJ for Gabriel.
We were poor on Tuesday with the a couple of enforced changes which have now been reversed.
Lets be honest you'd probably still moan if he picked Messi.

 

[65 & Counting]

So they play every game no matter what then?

No, but surely Gabriel is better and more effective than cowardly Hamilton. Joseph, however has flopped as he did at Swansea, and is a poor signing.
If the fees rumoured are accurate then that's £1.5m in total for those two benched!

 

[Insider]

Albie Morgan, our most improved player last few months, not even on the bench.

I think he's been playing with an injury so I'm sure that's why he's not in the squad.

 

[paukbbfc]

BBC has him listed on the bench and not Gabriel

 

[Tangerinetillidie]

No gabriel is bad, but CJ instead is bad has the crossing abilty of a Badminton Racket.

 

[FessParker]

I don't think most reasonable supporters would label Joseph as a flop , certainly not at this stage. Given his bad injury kept him out for 4 months ,it
would be fairer to say the jury is still out . For me there is definite potential there .

As a striker his career record doesn't bode well with a goals ratio of 1 in 5.

 

[Tangerinetillidie]

Im thinking a one all draw as our consistency is awful no Lawrence-Gabriel is a joke, CJ is a muppet he runs back and forth more Pogba and Man united. #UTMP

He doesn't go hiding either.

 

[65 & Counting]

He doesn't go hiding either.

...doesn't hit the back of the net either.

 

[Mark_GT]

Based on the fact we were hopeless at finding the onion bag during the warm up I'm confidently predicting we will stick at least three past them

 

[NewburyOne]

We and the players need to forget about Tuesday and our general away performances. It’s time to produce, no excuses, get at a vulnerable Shrewsbury side. UTMP!

 

[SussexTangerine8888]

He doesn't go hiding either.

I agree. He’s pretty raw but he will sharpen up . Next season could be a good one for him (likely in league 1 which won’t be a bad thing for him)

 

[TangerineArmy]

Agree.. let's hope tinkerman tells them this. Need to go for it and have a quality preformance. Not a let's keep it tight and sneak a goal.

Come on pool do it for them away fans

 

[20togo]

well here we go again. To quote Forrest Gump, watching Blackpool FC is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your gonna get.

 

[bill40]

I've gone for a 2-1 victory because it's just typical Blackpool to keep up the hope that kills you :(

 

[JJpool]

It really is time this lot started showing that quality away from home now, we've got the quality, let's play some football, we beat these doing so comfortably at home.

 

[SussexTangerine8888]

Oxford losing already. Come on pool

 

[TangerineDan]

Oxford losing after 2mins away at Pompey.

We obviously need to do our bit first though.

Edit: 1-1 now!

 

[BigHandsOliverKahn]

Don't we always lose 1-0 at Shrewsbury?

 

[hertfordseasider]

At right back?

 

[JJpool]

Now that was more like it, we pass it out and into Dembele, suddenly we're flying up the pitch.

Who knew when you try and play we look a better side.

 

[20togo]

could have shot himself there Dembele

 

[hertfordseasider]

Dembele should have shot but bad effort from Lavery and Key should have had more power on his header from the corner, decent start, but can we keep it going?

 

[hertfordseasider]

I hope Dembele is okay!

 

[bill40]

Penalty for Oxford :(

 

[Tangerinetillidie]

Dembele should have shot but bad effort from Lavery and Key should have had more power on his header from the corner, decent start, but can we keep it going?

We will dominate until the 10th minute and then it seems to go downhill from there.

 

[hertfordseasider]

I'm just not sure about Lavery, I'd rather Joseph and obviously Rhodes.

Why did Coulson go down then?
