We need to toughen up

[Greggy Lane Lasher]

We have lost three home games this season to 3 teams that have just been too streetwise for us, Rotherham, Shrewsbury and Tranmere. All 3 teams were physical but would also fall over when touched, fooling all 3 sets of officials. All 3 teams are sh1thouses.

We need to buy some tougher players, who can mix it in games like this if we want to get out of this division next season.

The 3 centre halves are tough enough along with Virtue, but the rest of the starting line could easily be called a right set of tarts, in particular Feeney, Fonz, MacDonald and Rowan. Nuttall should be bullying the life out of centre halves, and needs someone to slap him round the face before he goes out.

I know Critchley wants to play attacking football but even Barca have a couple of enforcers.

Said on another thread that we aint the most biggest or physical of teams this season. I agree we could do with some enforcers to help along the flair/creative players

Agreed plus I think mentally we have a few wilting roses in the squad who run in the face of battle.

We need players with controlled aggression.

Agree. We need some die for the cause type players. Gary Briggs or Andy Morrison Types who are rare these days. Obviously they would have to be less aggressive in today's game lol.

 

[Blackpool Are Back!]

Gary Madine has an aggressive side to him

 

[BFC_53]

Yes, it's like having a team of Elliot Grandins sometimes. Whereas we need a few Keith Southern and GTFs. A bit of toughness and guile, rather than just skill.

Needs to show it more often

Needs to show it more often

Madine has been carrying an injury since he arrived, but played through it. We didn’t half miss him last night.
