Blackpool away match day thread

[Fordy62]

We’ve been really good recently. We’re going to have downs - and this is one of them - all isn’t lost. 

Don’t panic.

I don't think there's a lot of doubt that we have regressed defensively since Bentley was dropped. Not that we were that great previously either.

 

Yes agreed get him back for the Reading match.

This has turned real ugly. We didn't start badly and I don't think 2-0 ht was a fair score line. This half we we committed the cardinal sin of conceding early which pretty much put the game to bed. Defensively we are so bad it's comical. 1 point from 9 against teams like Luton, Preston and Blackpool, regardless of on field performances it'd the results that count unfortunately

I'm sorry to say but Scott has been awful today and doesnt look interested

Having a bad game does not make you uninterested, he’s playing ok, just nothing really is going for him. All part of his football education

[richwwtk]

We are a young side, and a side undergoing a rebuild as well. There are going to be good and bad games.

We are still better than we were a year ago.

Flapper O’Leary. He really isn’t the answer. 

Agreed, he's had an extended opportunity to show what he can do and unfortunately for Max he has not proven himself to be a competent Goalkeeper at the level so far. Fine with his feet but you do have to make saves, take crosses, communicate and organise a back 4 too.

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.

It's the results though isn't it, not sure we have been REALLY good either.

Usual tossers revelling in it.

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.

Mrs went out to let me listen to this and watch Wales in peace. 

[bexhill reds]

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

I'm just not sure now is Pearson the answer?

Are the players that bad?

The team look devoid of ideas.

Whether you think he's the answer or not he certainly isn't going anywhere.

Martin needs the hook, not his day at all

I think we have. We’ve undoubtedly been unlucky the last couple of games. Not today though admittedly. 

[old_eastender]

Let's see some game time for Conway, to quote the commentator "Martin has been pretty ineffective today"

[ChippenhamRed]

So, after a relatively steady period of improving performances, more entertaining football and relative security in mid table, one bad game and all the usual kneejerkers are back to “Pearson out”.

Grow up, find some perspective and understand there will be plenty of ups and downs along the way.

Fine with his feet? So is Louis Spence!

[ExiledAjax]

Just a tepid performance so far. Too weak in defence and not enough decisive, no-nonsense clearances.

We have not done it on a wet and windy day in Blackpiol.

[Waconda]

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.

Back for Monday training so say.

I agree I don't want him to go anywhere  but the football particularly the defending is shocking.

[richwwtk]

I'm still hoping for a 4-3 win

That's my point. He started off his run showing he could get the team playing from the back but the simple fact is you cannot have a goalkeeper in who lets a minimum of two goals go past him every single week and is averaging three conceded per game. That's where Max is right now. He's got to be pulled out of it.

[ashton_fan]

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

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

Hope so……Max ain’t the answer unfortunately

Anyone warming up?
