Blackpool away match thread

[spudski]

FFS...Kings had a nightmare. What the hell was he thinking. Bad pass and didn't even attempt to hook off line. We would have sat 2nd in league without his massive errors.

Should be nowhere near the first team, just let him coach the youths until his contract is over. Threw the game away, suppose to be an experienced player.

I suspect he was brought on for height given the expectation was balls lumped into the box.

Anyone blaming Zak for the equaliser either wasn’t watching the same game as me or wasn’t watching the game at all.  The goal was caused by a slack pass that put the Blackpool player in.  Vyner didn’t stand a chance, except to haul him down and get a red card.  I thought it was Naismith who passed, but the commentator said something about King.  Certainly NOT Vyner’s fault.

It was played behind Zac with poor communication from the passer. Nothing he could do.

Bringing Andy King on a mistake? I would have like Wilson. Weimann wasn't even having a good game.

Yes it was and agree Wilson should have come on, but i would have taken Wells off and put AW forward.

yes just imagine the abuse he'd get if he did. 

Absolute zero if we would win the game. Lets not gloss over the fact it was an absolute shit show at the back of that defence all game long…..the one constant in that back line over the past 3 years has been Vyner & its never improved.

I do think we will edge it but if we come back with a point, that is satisfactory and keep a decent run going.

We nearly did edge it, but came back with a point.

It clearly wasn't, no centre half is catching that quick winger after such a hospital pass.

The pass wasn't great at all, I'm certainly not denying that. Multiple mistakes in the build up. 

But how many times does Vyner get exposed. Outmuscled, and should have brought the attacker down outside the box. 

[ProfitInMyPocket]

I don't understand the anger for King, it was Naismith who played the pass to Vyner?

[Selred]

Undefeated in 6. Joint top scorers in the league. Yes frustrating to throw the lead away, but lots to be positive about. Huddersfield mid week, let’s get a result against them and continue progressing.

Hasn’t done a lot since he’s been here to be honest. 
Pretty unimpressive, I think he’d struggle to get in the Rovers team. 

He did needlessly get sent off last season - so let’s not be unfair

Sorry mate, but you’re talking garbage.  To blame Vyner for not pulling the player down, while not even mentioning the villain of the piece, is utterly absurd.

King seems like a waste of a wage at the moment. What does he bring? Normally injured, not great going forward nor at the back. 

Weird signing in the first place tbf. Smacks of nepotism

what about the resulting free kick? And if they'd scored from that?

Exactly. Awful goal to concede. But we are making progress as a football club

Fair balanced Andy. Are you ill?  

We just seem to be playing with a bit more of an identity these days, and there are signs of improvement what is all I’ve ever wanted to see 

Our game management still concerns me. I get Luton and Cardiff was a job well done, but that third goal today shows we still haven’t learnt from past mistakes 

Roll on Wednesday. Will be a tough game 

[BUTOR]

Cardiff were wasteful but let’s be honest could have scored a couple with the space they had around our box. Game just confirms where we are, top 6 attack bottom half defence.

That was a thoroughly entertaining game of football.

A point away from home is always good even if we gifted them theirs. That will perhaps fire them up for the next match. 
Semenyo and Conway are frightening for me let alone opposition teams ! 
Well done to all.

Well said. I'm pleased we have a team that can play exciting attacking football again. I would've taken a point pre-game.

Agreed on the positives...one of the better away performances of recent times. Much to praise. When we play our game we look very good, Conway and Semenyo scored cracking goals. Hope rekindled...currently eyeing up travel to a few away fixtures! Cut out the unforced errors and this could be a very good season.

I can never understand this, why should Vyner have to be sent off to save someone else?

[Red Army 75]

Pearson said midweek we are light in midfield.

I want my CB to defend firstly. Especially when holding a narrow lead.

Naismith is a quality player but I have been uncomfortable with him as last man and central defender .for me it would be far better sitting him in front of back 3 and put klose in middle,  naismith has cost at least 2 goals so far being too casual.also not quick enough if a ball is lifted over him.

Our defence seem like they always have this in them sadly. Gotta fix it, no more bastard excuses.

Good point, 6 unbeaten. COYR.

What’s frustrating is it wasn’t even a defensive mistake as such! We were in possesion and made a stupid pass.

“Not even mentioning the villain of the piece” - read my post again, because i did, so thats garbage mate.

It Naismith played the ball then that’s two BAD errors in 4 league games

Really stupid play by King, then Naismith, those 2 have to take the blame, not Vyner who was given hospital pass.

This this and this. 
 

Goals were conceding are frustrating, but it’s far, far harder to score than it is to not concede. The amount we score/chances we create is incredible, and that’s without Semenyo starting games yet. 

[The Dolman Pragmatist]

I’m not scapegoating Naismith, but how many times has he either put us in trouble or got away with it by the skin of his teeth so far?  He’s clearly a very good footballer and does some exceptional things but he has taken some outrageous risks at the back and, as I said after one of the last two home games, he needs to cut out the costly mistakes.
