Blackpool v Ipswich Official Matchday Thread 10.10.20

Woeful all across the pitch. I'd be going mental if I was Critchley. However they are too far off the pace to improve.
 
This team has absolutely no aggression in it at all. None. We have 11 Elliott Grandins on the pitch. Dreadful.

Can someone tell Ward and Anderson that it's ok to make a run beyond the defence? They're just stood, static and playing in front of their defenders. We can play this way for hours and we won't score. You cannot play three in the centre and not have any of them taking a chance to make runs. We need different to Ward and Anderson, they're too alike.
 
Shocking.
Yates is what exactly?
Madine is a waste of space.
Will Ward actually put a decent cross in?
Garbutt - so far poor.
Gabriel - very inexperienced.
This team is facing a relegation battle.
 
Think when he gets his 2 new CBs in place there will be little wriggle room for excuses.
We are getting murdered here
 
Opposition teams are just sitting tight and waiting for chances because they know they’ll come eventually.
 
I really can't believe what I am fcukin seeing. I-Follow switched off,so many problems with that shambles I don't know where to start. At least there is a benefit from not being able to attend!.
 
I’m holding my hands up right now and admitting that I might have been wrong and this is a shit show and the Critchley appointment looks like it’s a smart arse trendy thing to have done and is an experiment which is backfiring massively.
I hope not but we just lack nous and know how.
Can’t help but feel like I agree with this. Really don’t want to agree with it ... but I do!
 
Started ok but completely lost the plot. We probably can’t get any points here, but we need a performance for 45 minutes just to stop the rot. Can’t understand Mitchell out of the team and I feel sorry for Turton, gives 100% and plays wherever he’s told but hard on him. He did ok aside from not getting close enough for the third goal but I find it hard to put much blame on him. Gabriel having a shocker. Robson needs to stop fouling quickly or it’ll be 10 men as well.
 
Bring Mitchell on, take off Madine, put Yates down the middle.
We miss a midfielder than can keep hold of the ball, someone like Spearing!
 
Told you all the Goal Machine would sort it out.

Really worrying how we fold under any pressure at all. Thought we looked good for about 20 mins then we've just collapsed all over the floor. Midfield doing nowt and Robson is wasted sitting deep and having to pass for Marvin.
 
This squad is not this bad.

Madine is useless and I can’t understand his selection, as it’s meant we have no link between the striker and midfield. It does smack of desperation and panic by NC.

I’m happy to support NC if he has a philosophy that he sticks to, but he hasn’t. We’ve gone long all game, bypassing midfield, so the same as last season, but without Gnando.
 
Both full-backs are not match fit.
Turton isn't a centre-half but we have replacements.
Too lightweight in midfield. Robson has the inevitable booking so may come off. I have no idea what Ward brings to the team.
Yates and Madine haven't had any service although Madine looks a bit wishy-washy to me for a bloke of his stature. Hamilton gets into some nice positions moving across the centre but just doesn't connect with the ball.

Not actually the worst half of football ever though but they need a response.
