    We were very slow out of the blocks and fair play to Blackpool they did a good job in exploiting our lack of a left wing back and make do and mend defence. Also, our make do and mend forwards were lacking as we created some great changes but they were much more clinical.

    Not allowed to critisise the manager Yak? I think plenty have done that but there were still some great interplays today, some leading to great chances, that just didn't pay off. I think a9 match untreated run without centre halfs and one centre forward earns Matt some space when you can see some great play in between at times. The proverbial work in progress. I expect it will be set back further if Gore leaves in January but I think the pattetns we can see, and some very good moves from a patched up team with yet 2 more injuries suggests we have a good manager working on a style but needs probable another couple of transfer windows to get the right, less fragile, players into his system.

    He isn’t a left wing back he went in the middle and we were a different team, your constant attacking of one of our better players is very sad, there were a lot of other players on that pitch today that were a complete disgrace Joe Powell is not our problem.

    Talking of players who were a complete disgrace?and on numerous times in games?.I give you, one Dawson. (One trick pony) who can push a ball away over the bar. That first goal should have had him in the bath (though apparently there isn?t enough room, they use showers)

    If we have had a worse keeper in 40 years I cannot recall any.

    We've been spoilt with keepers, and have been for as long as I've been going, pretty much. Having a human goalkeeper is normal for most clubs.

    I also don't think he was especially at fault for that goal, and that he's improved on what we had when he arrived. Never been his biggest fan, but he was a better option than Phillips, and he's pulled a few decent saves of late.

    Teams were targeting our left side from the first match of the season and we got destroyed down that side in several matches in our early struggles, wide players were getting behind James when he was wing back ! I said from day one we needed a left back who could double up as centre back or wing back with a bit of pace aka Revan or similar !
