Allen for waghorn ,not suprised as he's not looking confident and felt he should have assumed responsibility for the penalty Saturday.

I'm of a similar mindset to you.

It just sometimes looks like his lack of height/physical presence means he won't make it at this level but he was quality in L1.

It could be his lack of physicality but there are loads of examples of smaller players making up for that. It could be down to confidence. At the moment he’s what I’d call a ‘bits and pieces’ player that is neat and tidy but is just there and not much else

Either Bright isnt fit or hes dropped a bollock and weve been taken for a ride

Injured I think.

Anyone got a picture on ifollow? I’ve just got a black screen

 

[Liquid Gold]

Yeah I don’t think Messi would make it at this level either!

Comparing him to the second best ever Argentinian is entirely sensible

It doesn’t kick off until 19:45 mate, what are you hoping to see lol

 

[harvey098]

I’d like to see Allen really impact a game. I know he won the penalty on Saturday but I want him to dictate a game as in league one I thought he looked a championship standard player to be honest

It’s literally down to opposition. He’s an effective player when we’ve got a high line and are dictating possession. He’s the player you want to pick the lock on the edge of their box.

Sadly last season we were mainly out of possession which is when you want a different type of midfielder.. more of a driving run type midfielder like Bayliss was who can take you up the field. Allen has a use though.

Messi is better than Juan Sara mate

So Allen needs to adapt his game and be effective in and out of possession then. There’s definitely a good player in there though

 

[stevefloyd]

I expect him to get a run out today, depending on how the game is going

Prepare for plenty of offsides if he does

 

[better days]

I thought @better days said he “declared himself unfit”

True but that's the case with most injuries really
It's probably genuine

It’s Bright so he could actually die and people would suggest he’s faked it

I don’t think you can suddenly just get bigger, faster, stronger (I think that’s a Kanye west song?). He’s an intelligent little player but he’ll never be a midfield battleaxe

Has he promised to do your drive or something?

You seem to be oh so quick to come to his defence over and over!

 

[lifeskyblue]

Hopefully the wingbacks will have license to play high and wide and stretch the Blackpool back line leaving sheaf, Allen and Hamer to deal with the counters

And knowing Bright he probably would have

 

[fatso]

That would explain him not turning up.

Let's be honest he only has himself to blame

I don’t mean physically. I mean he might need to drop deeper and have the confidence to receive the ball in tight areas. As a high level example Veratti is a midget but he dictates games with his intelligence and ability to dictate

I just don’t believe in getting on people’s backs when no one knows any facts about his current fitness situation

Alright, Maradona did OK as a short-arse.

 

[stevefloyd]

If we get a pen first half whos going to take it?

 

[clint van damme]

We'll worry about that if and when it happens!

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

If we get a pen first half whos going to take it?

I’ll do it

 

[fatso]

If we do get a pen, Allen gets instantly subbed.

 

[shmmeee]

Hope we don’t play for the draw, left a few points on the table against weaker sides last season. Like the look of the side though so don’t think we will, hopefully dominate the game and score a couple.

Apparently away fans to be kept in 15 min after final whistle tonight. They are expecting our idiots to kick off after the 2019 match

1,500 on a Tuesday night is very impressive.

In fairness, most of it seems to have come from what you've said.

Got the picture on my laptop (connected to TV by hdmi....but sound is only coming through laptop at present).

Bit late.

 

[Johhny Blue]

I don't want to be a big fuss pot but would be nice to not be behind once this season

We’re not always behind. We have been ahead for almost 10 seconds this season

I rate him but have kept it quiet. Not worth the hassle.
