Blackpool post match reflections

[Heliosphan78]

Despite the problems we have on the pitch, I'm still not fully in the sack the manager camp.

I said last week that, in my view, performances have been generally poor all season and pretty much every statistic bears that out (I might post some of these). I also think we're very lucky to be on the points we are, so that's on the manager and his coaching team.

But is no one else drained with the idea of sacking manager after manager? I am. But don't mistake that as apathy, it's about taking a view that things are taking longer to develop and that mitigating circumstances have hindered the manager. Yes he's made some bad signings. Yes he's made some odd decisions. Yes he's stubborn and yes we're in the bottom 4. But it's fine margins. Does anyone think that we'd be on a 5 game losing streak with Nombe, Spence and Benson all fit?

The biggest thing for me is the philosophy that MH is trying to instill. We had an average age of around 35 last season, now it's around 25 (I know I'm exaggerating). But this is something that most people bought into at the beginning of the season, i.e buy young players and develop them etc. It's easier said than done of course and recruitment is a factor in it's success.

It won't be a popular view but what I'm saying is that we ride it out and at least see where we are come the end of January, when the transfer window closes.
