Blackpool Post Match Thoughts

[RU66]

Only seen brief highlights but playing Kelly why? where's energy Hatton deserves a chance. Raggett JCH we haven't missed them cause we've had to most of the season & in the latter his case when he's played he's never been up to speed.

Kelly does something that not all fans see in a player of his type do. He acts as the glue in midfield. always available, calm on the ball and capable of bringing in other players, switching the direction of play as well as breaking up the oppositions play sometimes by tactical fouls.
Now we have not seen the best of this player since he joined, we know he has had personal family issues and we all wish him and his family all the best. If Kelly gets a run of games and builds on his Blackpool performance then Rotherham United will be a better team.
To be honest a midfield of kelly, powell and mcWilliams is a very very good midfield for L1. If you add to that we have the ability to bring in Gore, Sibley and Mpanzu and we have a very solid midfield.
Our defence is capable of doing well (Rafferty, James, Odoffin & Jules)
The issue has been the inconsistencies in our front line. Nombe works hard but doesn't get the goals he should, Hugill has been disinterested for 18 months (hopefully he will show his abilities), Osong was never used well by SE, Wilks (been our most consistent performer), green, I think he is looking at his summer move already and it is a real shame as this lad can play. As for JCH, it was a mistake bringing back as a team that plays so narrow will never get the best from him, he is past his best (hindsight is a wonderful thing).
So when I look at that core of 15 or so players, why are we in the bottom half?

Agree but what?s happened to Humphreys in your analysis?

Isn't Hatton on loan though, as your previous observation?
