MATCH THREAD: “ BLACKPOOL v CARDIFF CITY " MATCH THREAD

These players cannot handle people in their faces , they need a reality check ,get a f*cking grip!

Incredible score to be honest. Naive team and manager, but we shouldn’t over react.

This was never a 3-0 performance though.

Totally agree everything has gone their way today including the referee but this is a serious wake up call. Not clinical enough and not enough experience

Bbm really has got questions to answer after this shit show. This could end up 4 or 5 ffs

Bloody hell, just checked in to see how we were doing assuming we'd comfortably win today. Wow!!!

That starting team and bench was possibly the strongest we've put out all season.

But regardless of the chances we've missed, this is a shocking scoreline!!! Ironically against a very experienced league 1 manager...ummmhhh!

Today, pathetic

We can't defend and we can't create and we can't score. Another wasted chance to put points between us and our closest challengers who are all suffering today and once again we fail. This is what you get with the spine of the team are so young!!

We create but when you miss open goals you're going to lose the game

No one shoots cleanly in this team.. everyone scuffs it . Wide players simply have to contribute more as well

And the sooner Murphy takes Lawlor to one side and tells him he isn't Franz Beckenbauer and he needs to learn how to defend as well, the better it will be!! Another very very disappointing loss!!

This team is too inconsisent for promotion and the manager too naive

we try to walk the ball into the net, we go wide come back go wide then back to halfway line, what's the point in having a 6ft plus striker,
our defence is ridiculous constant chopping and changing no consistency, ill say it again Lawlor is not good enough people on here are seeing stuff that i cant because he is bang average

BBM

Keeps saying we are improving???

We have been going backwards for weeks BBM has no game management

We've blown up, and we are not half way through the season.
We'll be mid table by Christmas.

So many things wrong about today. The constant changing of the team selection is getting a bit much. Trying to walk the ball in the net is just frustrating. We go from this amazing team that’s enjoyable to watch and then these dire performances like this. The officials haven’t helped though they’ve been disgusting, and every time we get that ref he’s a nightmare. On to the next game.

He is a development coach, its doesn't matter if you lose.

BBM is too naive with no evidence of any realisation what's required to be a first team manager

His whole belief system is again being tested, and he is not responding, its Rochdale all over

Too many pretty players in this team not enough "dog" youngsters can only take you so far, some of us have been saying this since the summer. That's how BBM got the job in the first place.

Is Maddley reffing in League One as a punishment for being so shit in the Championship or has he been sent down to specifically f**k us over as he's done time and time again in the past?

If BBM thinks we've been training brilliantly this week then he's either deluded or bullshitting.

We are awful and have been found out.

Shocking how easy we have been cut open umpteen times today.

He got the job because he told Tan that he could/would develop the youngsters into a realistic team for promotion and didn't want to spend. He achieved that initially but now the chips are down and money must be spent in January. My worry is if we are not right up there in January Tan won't spend and we will be entrenched in League 1 until Tan sells up. Sickening!!

Amazing what happens when you shoot at goal

GOAL! BLUEBIRDS!

That’s harsh on BBM, as he’s proven he can take this team forward!

Certainly a bad day at the office, but this is a time to reflect, admit errors, and move forward!

With this youthful squad, BBM is the right man at the right time, whilst Tan is a separate issue again!

A poor result in the end and a lot of lessons to be learned!

Have we been ‘found out’?

There will rightly be an inquest tonight; in the Bluebird dressing room, on the travelling coaches, and on this Forum!

FINAL SCORE: BLACKPOOL 3 - 1 CARDIFF CITY (90+9mins)
