    Development squad axed

    Sums up a lot of what’s wrong and how disjointed things are. We signed Dan Sassi in January and whacked him in with the Development Squad, then he went out on loan… Ryan Finnegan got nowhere near the 1st team so far. Couple of seasons ago we signed Moffat and Emmerson and they’ve not made an...

    Patino & Jerry Yates

    We’ve no chance of getting either but they both walk into our starting 11 & become our best two players. Daft to suggest otherwise unless you have forgot that Jake Beesley is our main centre forward.

    Retained List?

    They’ll be trying to keep Husband I think as he’s ended the season as our captain… but he’s 30 and will no doubts be after one last decent move. Can’t blame him but with Byers gone too we’ve got absolutely nobody now who will give the ref or the opposition any shit. A team full of Neil Critchley...

    The first of many IMHO

    Just seen a clip of the Green Party candidate in Leeds celebrating his victory by shouting “Allahu Akbar!”… I’m guessing this isn’t anything to do with recycling or dropping the charges on the garden/waste bin? All seems perfectly normal and nothing to worry about particularly as his opening...

    Tykes v Notlob Thread

    Barnsley are dogshit. As we know. We didn’t have the balls to take their place which tells you all you need to know about us.

    If BST had got their hands on the club ..

    In the Conference but fans would be polite to the catering staff, the sitting sections at away games would be really popular, everyone would put their litter in the bins at matches and Lancashire would be full of the sand, the tower and Blackpool.

    East stand

    Remember that scoreboard in the corner they had initially that covered about 500 seats 😂

    Apter’s Highlights

    “We didn’t think it would be fair on Rob for him to be in the building and not be getting minutes so we’ve let him go and hope he forges a successful career in football”…

    Blackpool pot holes

    School Road at the bottom (Whitehills end) is like a cobbled street.

    We‘ll get promoted with Critchley next season.

    Who’s fixated by it? I’m not? But I think it’s probably a fair shout to put a striker on for another striker who’s got cramp when you need to score goals ahead of a non-scoring midfielder who will be leaving anyway in the summer? If he was on the bench just throw him on ffs.

    Squad was never good enough

    It’s definitely not all the managers fault but in any industry the buck stops with the gaffer. If the same people are doing the same things wrong it’s up to the man in charge to sort it, he lessened the chance of us making a final at Wembley (don’t think any head coach does that) by playing...

    We‘ll get promoted with Critchley next season.

    Forgot about Virtue 👏🏻 Yep agree with all that. I don’t think he’ll be going anywhere and to be honest we’ve finished 8th, unless we were Watford it would probably be a shock for people outside of Blackpool if we did, but I just don’t see him having all the tools till rebuild the squad and get...

    MCLF - Match blog - Reading vs the Mighty

    “but something he says really sticks in my head when he comments that 'Reading left players up - they didn't need to worry about the outcome' as if that was cheating or some kind of dark art.” Sums him up perfectly. What a boring man.

    We‘ll get promoted with Critchley next season.

    It’s a fair point but out the matchday 18 yesterday, 8 were signed by NC in his first tenure here and Husband was already here. He had a clear head start on any other manager we appointed because he already knew the players and what they could do. Which makes it even more bizarre we’ve tried to...

    Squad was never good enough

    It’s clear to me what Simon Sadler knows about football isn’t a great deal, almost Alan Partridge esque “Did you see the match? Which one? I dunno?”… He’s relied on highly paid CEO’s, Head’s of Recruitment and Head Coaches which is fine if they are good at what they do. I don’t see any joined...

    Gary Bowyer, an interesting watch…

    To be fair, I think whoever is with Chizzy will come across well as that little weasel is the most negative, clueless and useless tool ever to commentate on football.

    Squad was never good enough

    I’ve put it on another thread but we’ve played 46 league games and come from behind twice to win a game (Posh away, Bolton home) and twice to draw (Oxford away, Cods away). 4 games out of 46, we’ve been able to come back! To me that shows a complete lack of bollocks on the pitch but crucially...

    We‘ll get promoted with Critchley next season.

    The fact he’s been unable to change the same type of away defeats to lowly teams is a concern as is his crap in-game management tactics and substitutions. We’ve come from behind 4 times to get a draw or win all season. 4 out of 46. 2 wins and 2 draws. How pathetic is that? Throw in CJ’s...

    Squad was never good enough

    I think if you beat the Champions 4-0 away, drill 3rd place 4-1 at home, beat 4th 2-1 away, do the double over 5th placed and be unbeaten against 6th place you can safely say you’re good enough to get in the top 6. The problem has been that against good teams who come at us we’re fine but...

    Shane Lavery

    Proper injury prone, time to move on. Chocoate hamstrings ruined him because once that explosive pace had gone his touch & hold up play gets found out.
