    If we get to half time at 0-1 I genuinely wouldn;t be surprised if we win this. 1 goal back and the momentum shift after missing this many chances will be huge.

    We gonna bother marking anyone in our own box today? Shocking defending so far.

    Back line and marking was sloppy. Dabo needed to get closer to the crosser though, left himself in no mans land.

    Godden got back to back hattricks in our L1 promotion season. Last game of 2019, first of 2020 I think. Still been a while though!

    Our Midfield 🤩

    If we were able to keep the ball for 2 minutes our entire midfield wouldn't be in the top 20 tacklers in the division :D

    Everyone’s scared to admit they don’t give a shit, and you’re trolling hard on this one, but…. I don’t give a shit. Doubt you’re even there. Edgy, I know.

    The Winter break has ended over here in Czech so playing for the B team today and managing the As tomorrow, followed by several clubhouse pints at £1.20!

    Set Pieces

    Who is good at heading the ball in our team though? Our midfield is tiny with Allen, Hamer and O’Hare. Palmer is taller but a flair player. Rose is timid. Gyokeres rarely scores with his head and is great at holding the ball up with his feet but isn’t your traditional target man. Godden and...

    Mcnally

    Agree with the theory but do think they're being judged on their parent clubs as much as ability sometimes (by myself included). They have played their parts in an excellent run of form, even if they haven't been match winners, and bulked out what was a threadbare squad. 6/10 signings for me so far.

    Mcnally

    McNally's neck is abnormally long, it's actually 3cm longer than one of Jamie Allen's legs. Between him and Bidwell's hunchback, we don't want to fall foul of the EFL's new rule for next season - from the 2023/24 season you can only have 1 player in the matchday squad who can give themselves a...

    De-dum de-doo, de-dum, Dabo

    He’s got a very inconsistent first touch and against teams that press him he loses that 0.5 a second and looks rushed. He’s also not very agile, which might be his injuries or just a consequence of being injured - too bulky from the time spent in the gym when injured. He looks slow over a couple...

    Championship 22-23

    Just catching up with this thread but feel bad for Wigan, seems they've been deducted 12 points in the last hour.

    HAMER: BEST MIDFIELDER IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP

    One of the benefits of 3 at the back I think. Always got 2 more centre backs to cover if one makes a mistake.

    HAMER: BEST MIDFIELDER IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP

    It’s not just his energy though, his real X factor is his speed of progressive pass. No one else in our squad would play the pass he played to Walker yesterday when Walker was brought down on the edge of the box and their player went off injured. He drilled it 25 metres along the floor into...

    Ratings Blackpool

    That was only me wasn’t it? 🙂 and it was just me sarcastically predicting another 3 days of bickering about his contract. I think Eccles is a an extremely classy young player and I think it’s great we’ve tied him down on a 4 year contract!

    Deserved the win overall, we were much better than them. Few sloppy mistakes over the 90 which we weren't punished for and they never really looked like scoring from open play. That said, I have some sympathy for their fans, I'd be pissed off with the ref if i was them. They should have had a...

    Hamer got a hand in the face there too when he won that back, reckon most players would just have gone down at 3-1. Godden's first touch was a bit ropey but the finish was excellent. We want 5, we want 5!

    On the bright side for Dabo, he won't have very far to walk to the bench when he gets hooked on 60.

    We lost all our intensity after we scored. Started to try and knock it around at the back more instead, lost any urgency and yet still had a golden opportunity to make it 2 when Gyokeres ignored his team mates. Unless Hamer plays one of his early progressive passes into feet, it's all a bit...
