Wells for Martin I’d say, get some pace up there.

Bring him on asap...what have we to lose? He scored two in a game this week so why not?

I feel for the fans that travelled up there, at least I could just switch Robins TV off they've got 150 odd miles to drive back in miserable conditions

207 to Bristol unfortunately….I’ve never seen us win at Bloomfield road .

That’s a bit unfair. We’re 3-0 down to a team whose budget is probably less than half of ours. Fans are bound to be pissed off. 

Good organised team, play to their strengths.

Dont get all Newcastle on us, just because we’re potentially the “bigger” team it doesn’t give us the right to win every game.

Blackpool have done their homework, Massengo and Scott have no time and we’re either losing the ball or pushing us back to defend areas to that we are not comfortable in, resulting in aimless clearances, which just come straight back.

Though according to some we are improving, just cos we played well once last week (still didnt win either)

[M.D]

Im only listening on the clubs website and its a poor performance so far

But with this side we will have a few inconsistent Performances, I still have faith we are moving forward..

Where as I don’t agree with the Pearson out shouts….when will get to see the ups? 

We'll probably see a few decent performances between now and the end of the season but to see a more consistent period of "ups" we need better players in certain positions.

Hope so……Max ain’t the answer unfortunately 

If Pearson isn’t keen on Bentley now, at least he knows he needs a new number one in the summer. I’m sure he’ll now be comfortably aware that O’Leary is not the answer. Certainly not now, probably not ever.

With the ball at our feet we are improving, surely you can see that or is it a case of not wanting to see it? Yes, defensively we are awful right now and I agree with most that something needs to be done about that. Personally I would go four at the back with Vyner RB if nobody else fit and Bentley in goal.

He may not have been great but he's probably our greatest prospect and at his age cannot be expected to be a revelation every game. To say he he doesnt look interested is just plain wrong on every level.

I didnt say he wasn't interested i said he doesnt look it he looks very deflated out there and being bullied all game by the midfield who have obviously done thier homework on him

We have players in this team with international experience . We have players who are current internationals!

We won’t get better then the players we have. We should be doing better

This merely proves your inability to be objective.

Second half v Millwall

Rousing performance against Cardiff.

Best performance in ages against Preston.

Winning more games at home.

Entertaining football.

Massengo, Scott and Semenyo all emerging as hugely exciting talents.

Plenty of positive signs, the only people that can’t see them are people like yourself who are determined not to.

[Dan Robin]

The match is over so I'd bring in Bell and Benarous.

You said he didn't look interested which is a stupid thing to say about an 18 year old kid who has been our find of the season. mental thing to say.

[old_eastender]

Semenyo into the side netting

[Engvall’s Splinter]

Get one, we’ll get another.

I'm still hoping for a 4-3 win

The thing is if we were 3.0 up with 20mins to go I still wouldn’t be convinced of 3 points

Critchley getting more out of his team than the "sum of it's parts"

Pearson doesn't for us.

That is the worry despite some sparks of improvement over the past few months.

It must have been so frustrating, pretending to be balanced, over the last month or so

So what are you calling me then stupid or mental Be very careful how you answer this

[sh1t_ref_again]

Recently we have been playing some good football on the deck, but today is not good conditions for that.

Thought we were alright against Luton to be honest.

International experience means very little. Never understood why this is used as a barometer of quality. A San Marino plumber can be an international footballer.

This is an average squad and there is no reason to think we can’t get better players with a high profile and well connected manager, and some shrewd recruitment within our means.

Kalas has been ordinary for most of the season despite what many on here think. That isn't a coaching issue.

If Pearson cannot say thank you very much to the likes of Simpson, O'Dowda, O'Leary, Moore at the end of the season and bring in better I will be surprised.

Fail to see how Max can be blamed for any of the 3 goals today.

I would say that was a balanced comment - do you disagree ?

[Banjo Red]

Consistency appears to be the key here there isn't any.

What A load of crap.

The worst thing about losing is always the reaction of fans. The dullards replying to City’s tweets being the worst.
