Re: Match Day Thread: Blackpool
Frustrating resulting and a sense of what might have been with Morley scoring another winner against Exeter, this time for Bolton.
The red is probably the difference between 3pts and 1pt today, but we also shouldn’t kid ourselves that we were particularly on our game today. Understandable with games coming in quick succession, and also a few things Blooms would have learnt I think (bringing Cam off rather than one of our ineffective wingers seemed an odd choice at the time).
Even before the red, Hartridge showed today why he can’t be our first choice so CB needs to be the priority position for us this week.
Elsewhere, I think Fred probably needs a rest and McCleary had one of his disappearing act games. I’d be tempted to shake things up a bit for Huddersfield and start with Udoh and Kone in a front two.
Our last 4 goals have been made up of a worldie, a dodgy free kick and 2 pens, so we need to find our ability to create chances from open play again.
Re: Match Day Thread: Blackpool
I didn't say this as a means of "punishment" by the way, just because he's frankly not good enough. If we consider ourselves a team challenging for promotion, we need to be ruthless. That's two stupid red cards he's had this season, and he's miles off the quality needed at CB if we want to push for promotion. If that sounds harsh then so be it.
Re: Match Day Thread: Blackpool
He shouldn’t play for this club again, he isn’t good enough. It isn’t one occasion either. Sorry if this offends you.
Re: Match Day Thread: Blackpool
Absolutely fuming. Very poor first half and lucky to lead. But I thought we were excellent second half and unlucky not to hold on.
The difference ultimately the red card. A harsh one but Hartridge is proving to be a liability and shouldn’t play for the club again. Taylor replacement urgently needed.
we also massively missed Morley and need to break the bank to buy him now. Humphreys tried to do the Morley job and couldn’t. I’m not sure if anyone can.
Re: Match Day Thread: Blackpool
Eh? I'm talking about the morons saying Hartridge should never play for us again.
Re: Man of the Match - Blackpool (H)
Voted Harvie again. Was tempted with Hartridge just for giggles
Re: Man of the Match - Blackpool (H)
Harvie for me, such a key part of the battling rearguard action that nearly came off.
Happy for Humphreys to get it though if that's the popular vote.
He wasn't on long enough for serious MotM consideration, but shout out to Kodua who surely has to start on Tuesday after that cameo today.

It must be exhausting being absolutely correct 100 percent of the time, no matter what
