We’ve just been beaten by a team struggling in League One?

I don’t understand our obsession with Preston losing when we, ourselves, are a shambles.

I'm so inclined to agree.. Currently sat in a pub in Cambridge wallowing in my real ale and this...

It's not a bad one though. 5 1 at home.

Fylde and Cods also lost. Can we laugh at those results as well?

What a very poor comparison.

We all (you especially) had high hopes of promotion this season we have a manager who’s already won promotion from this league a team full of championship players (cough cough) and we can’t even beat below average league one teams like Northampton and Cambridge.

Oh and the Cods did much better than we did against Peterborough as shit as they are.

Enjoy your trip home you all deserve a medal watching that crap. 🏅

The Cods did better? They lost and had 30% of possession.

We will go up. The Cods are going down.

Have you looked at the table lately?
4 points off last spot in the play offs playing two more games!!
Did the Cambridge game fill you with some strange enthusiasm or have you been on the ale😉👍🏻

Not halfway through the season. Get a grip. Way too much hysteria after every slip.

And there lies the problem far too many slip ups along the way this team cannot go on a winning streak for four or 5 games which is what’s needed for a top 6 finish.

We might have beaten Portsmouth but we’ve lost some shockers this season.

We couldn’t even beat Fleetwood FFS. 🙁

Not hysterical Wizaard, possibly realistic 🤷
We're unable to put a run of games together to form any sort of challenge and as you say, nearly half way through the season.
What exactly gives you cause for optimism?

We were the better team today and have beaten much better teams. They got a couple of breaks and capitalised. In the remaining 24 games, we'll get some breaks
 
Just seen the highlights on TTV, and can anyone explain to me how the lad who wins the penalty is onside?

Then when they hit the post, why is he not flagged offside and secondly, since when does hitting the outside of the post get you a corner?

Think it's Critchley's lack of intervention that pisses me off. Back three were playing a high line all the first half and any lump forward they got in behind. Lot's of arms in the air for offside which was rarely flagged, we were totally reliant on a linesman getting it right/wrong. The inevitable finally happened, not once but twice before the half finished. Inevitable to everyone bar our coach who did nothing to rectify it. But then again he never does before the hour mark 🙄.
I'm trying to remain positive about this season but we are regularly being out thought by man for man, inferior teams.

Bolton have lost two on the trot, one at home to Bristol Rovers. By your logic, that's them out of contention.

They've also been able to put a run of results together to propell them up the league. By my logic that gives them a better prospect than us this season.
Take you're tangerine specs off for just a minute, yes, we all want the seasiders to do well.
However EVERY team above us are into double figures in the win column and apart from Stevenage, every club has games in hand.
With the squad and infrastructure we have at this club we should be at least in the same position as Stevenage

I think their last winning run was 6 straight wins.

Compare that to us struggling to get back to back wins, we've managed it twice all season then spectacularly failed against poor sides and forgot how to play football.

You’re not a real Blackpool fan if you don’t laugh at Preston getting walloped at home. Just saying.

I consider myself a Blackpool fan and I couldn’t give a flying feck about Preston at the moment. We need to sort ourselves out.

They are irrelevant. They are in the Championship we are not. We are in the league below . If anyone should be doing the laughing it’s them.

Who sets the criteria for being a real Blackpool fan ?

You ?

Self appointed presumably ?
