Romared Match Thoughts Blackpool v Barnsley

[animallittle3]

The delights of the Fylde Coast midweek in December .

Hats off to the travelling reds let's hope you get a performance and the win worthy of such commitment .

[Shadrack the Red]

If our HC decided that it is in the interest of the club to put out another inexperienced eleven like he did at Bradford then I hope he has the decency to announce the team before 14.00 tomorrow to save the faithful few another wasted journey , the team & performance at Bradford was totally unfair on the fans , the time , the cost & the risks of winter travel should be considered and at least if the team is announced then a fan can make their mind up whether it is worth the effort , frankly after the Bradford debacle they do not deserve any backing , its not the losing it is the total disrespect shown to the supporters & the competition , the club & the team should always give it their best shot but I fear once again it will be a weak team & weak performance , I really hope I am wrong but I can only see a comfortable win for Blackpool .

Can't argue with that team .

Anyway I'm off to bed , feel like shyte with man flu .

Good Luck reds .

[Arblasterfromthepast]

Decent first half. De Gevigney continues to improve. Good general defending, good distribution and reads the game really well. Defence looks stronger with Lopata in the back 3. Cosgrove's given the Blackpool defence something to think about and held the ball up well.

[perkytyke]

2-1 down now, shocking defending, Lopata off for Williams, Styles passing is just awful.

[Young_Nudger]

Blackpool just walking straight through our 3 mid midfielders.
Styles - not interested.
Kane - too slow.
Philips - the invisible man.
All 3 leaving our centre backs totally exposed.
And all 3 providing nothing going forward.

The sooner Collins anchors the mid midfield with Russell and Connell in a 343 formation the better.

Back 3 shocking with the second goal summing them up perfectly , a cross from their right without any challenge & the Blackpool lad is allowed to jump unchallenged with all our three central defenders rooted to the spot , pathetic , we must have the worst central defenders in the league , they certainly are the slowest , who ever produced the spreadsheet for those three needs to take up knitting , I really feel sorry for Killip who was left totally exposed for both goals .

Correct Shadrack. That second goal is exactly the reason Williams should not be in the back 3.
