You watch, we'll beat them (wherever the game is staged!) just as we beat Sheff U. That'd be typical City.

It has the same vibes as getting spanked at Burton by Bristol

Defensively it was as bad as that Yeovil game
it was awful
Madine destroyed us - he has the attributes that Gyokeres lacks and the other way round. Strength with his back to goal and Ariel power and dominance. No whining on shirt pulling just batter the centre halves. He and the number 9 took Is apart

We deserved to lose by a far wider margin than we did - we defending as badly as I’ve seen for years

So did they really. We opened them up and should have had a few more.

Robins explaining most players have been ill in the last few days. He had to redo the team sheet 3 times leading up to kick off.

Who on earth are we even going to start on Tuesday? Palmer and O’Hare will be dead on their feet, Gyokeres, Allen, Bidwell, Tavares, Rose etc. all ill, Waghorn, Dabo, Eccles injured

Always liked him. He will give it to the referees too. Something our players are too scared of.

Which is no issue for other teams in this league. Our squad depth is bordering on disgraceful.

No one in our team is capable of doing that.

Having listened to MR I am prepared to cut the team some slack, sounds like we were fortunate to field the team we did. Doesnt seem he had much choice but to pick the team he did and the formation
Some good moments but defence too open. Goalkeeper shakey and his kicking awful. Some periods where ball retention and passing poor then we go score a real quality goal.
Maybe could have got a draw but I have no real complaints about the result we should have been 3 down in the first 15 minutes.

I think Moore has to come back in now, I’ve backed Wilson but he’s out stayed his welcome starting now, been poor this and last game

Really dissapointing that. Yes Blackpool prob better and v dangerous going forwards but we had our chances too. Have to get more on target
The two goals we conceded were fucking pathetic. What was Doyle doing ??? He had so much time to make right decision and still chose wrong. Yes he's young but fuck me that's was annoying.
Second goal is on Wilson. He doesn't attempt to claim and then watches it go in. He did a job when first came in but now needs to be dropped .
Great goal from us and we are at our best when we play it on ground but have to sort this defence out.

Thought Blackpool played really well, Madine and Jerry Yates looked a handful, Doyle and Wilson look woeful. Wont be going to Wolves, Walsall or anywhere else apart from CBS on Tuesday. Whole things pissing me off

First half I couldn't believe we came in 1-0 up
Second half we played better (especially going forward)
Overall they deserved it, but it was a decent game (if you're a neutral!)

Agreed, we should be 4-2-3-1.
Robins is working wonders with limited resources, but why are we playing a back three with the inexperienced lads we have available? To his credit, Robins made it work for a few games by digging in and playing long ball, but you can’t do that forever and we need to give O’Hare and Palmer a platform to play with freedom.
And IMO we don’t have natural wing backs. Kane and Bidwell may have played there a lot over their careers, but they both look much more like conventional fullbacks to me (and good ones too).
I’d have the same team as you, but with Hamer and Allen swapped over.

Wow. if you think Madine is a better player than Gyokeres you must be on something I want none of!

Can't argue with the result, several really lack lustre performances which sound like they are related to the illness in the camp, hope that it's a 24hr thing and players are back firing on all cylinders Tuesday wherever the game is played, I won't be traveling anywhere other than the cbs as it's too much of a rush after work

Well tbf Robin's comments suggest nearly all players have been affected by this bug in the camp, some worse than others. Changing his team sheet 3 times before handing it in cartainly states the obvious. If you are under the weather or sick you are not going to play well. Apparently Faz played but was sick. You could see the energy was not there when required. Only Hamer looked on his game. Allen did not do the running he normally does, Sheaf was miles off etc etc. It makes sense, but can they recover enough for Tuesday?

Unlikely and proves once again the lack of investment in the squad is not acceptable. We don't even have any kids to play.

We played to our strengths but defensively we weren't good. You did well exploiting the right wing in the second half but your balls in were well smothered. We took our goals well but some of your shooting could have been better.

I can’t even name any of the under 23’s off the top of my head. They are almost like a completely different club. Fuck all of them get a look in. Does Robins even know any of them?
And if they are all shit, what’s the point of it.
