Re: Match Day Thread: Blackpool
Missed the game today so I can’t comment on any of the yellows, performances or goals.
With Hartridge whilst I’ll fully admit I’ve never been convinced by him and I prefer both Skura and Taff and I don’t think he is of the standard required to compete at the top of the league, what I would say is that the lad is human. He is still young and I can only imagine that even before today’s game he was probably lacking in confidence having had an underwhelming start to his career. I do trust MB’s judgement so I feel there probably is a good player in there which may well take time to come good, but we shouldn’t write him off just yet.
Football is a funny old game and In a weeks time we could be celebrating him scoring a winner in the FA Cup and earning us a big away tie with a great pay day!
Its worth remembering Steve Brown had a pretty crappy start with us and lots of us doubted O’Neill signing him after his initial displays.
Re: Match Day Thread: Blackpool
The problem is if we are going to write off Butcher, Wheeler, Taf and now Taylor, Morely and possibly Low our squad is gutted. We need replacements at the start of the window not January 31st. As the window shuts we need to not be talking about what could have been. Tuesday is a massive game, we can let the FA cup slide (I would prefer not to) but come Mansfield away I would like to see us largely sorted.
Re: Match Day Thread: Blackpool
It amounts to the same thing though. His performances for us have been consistently well under-par. He shouldn't be playing for us again
Re: Match Day Thread: Blackpool
Inevitable. Wrong subs for me. Midfield was emptied and invited too much pressure onto a weakened defence.
Re: Match Day Thread: Blackpool
I think the absence of Wheeler and Taf from the squad says it all. Both will move on this window. Looking forward to seeing which 4 or 5 come in
Re: Match Day Thread: Blackpool
All opinions, I never have, and still don't think Rav is good enough to be number 1
Re: Match Day Thread: Blackpool
Even constructive criticism on this board gets downticks. It's very weird.
