I've been following Blackpool again over the last couple of seasons (since the Oystons left) and overall I've been really surprised by how poor the standard in the league is generally. I can't work out if it's because I've been mostly watching Premier league and so I'd forgotten what to expect at this level or if the teams are significantly worse than when I was previously watching.
The amount of players (on every team) who don't seem to be able to pass it five yards or show basic control is amazing. The shooting (apart from Ipswich) has been woeful and it's got to the point where I'm actually more surprised if a set piece delivery is decent and it doesn't just balloon over.
It honestly amazes me how I can watch a professional footballer look so utterly gash since I know they are part of the 0.0005% that have made it professionally but It's just so difficult to see how sometimes.
Anyone else know what I mean?
