" I won't be joining in with the anticipated meltdown "

I expect some will go into meltdown following this result.

I won't be joining in with that.

We should have had the game won by half time. Just like against Burton, it was missed chances yet again which cost us. Far too many missed chances.

As soon as Blackpool scored straight after half time, I knew it wasn't our day.

Their keeper was brilliant in the first half.

We could have handled it better in the second half but this was not a terrible performance, the 3-0 scoreline doesn't reflect the game.

There will be ups and downs as the season goes on but the good thing is that this hasn't changed much at the top due to other performances.

I'm disappointed with us not taking our chances again, but in a strange way am not that disappointed by the performance because we did everything else right in terms of how we played.

I was also pleased by how we kept going and ended up scoring late on. Goal difference could come into it at the end of the season.




So yes I'm very disappointed about the result but I'm not going to pretend I hated the performance when I didn't.

Ned please please you did this with Riza

6 Defeats from 11 games

You should be honest about the last couple of months

Ned please mate take your blinkers off.
There are too many bad days .
He does the same thing EVERY game.
The colwills are too lightweight and are getting over run.
Does he even know his best team

I agree, we absolutely should have won that game with the chances we created. Their goalkeeper was man of the match by far.

I watched the game with Blackpool commentators, Brett Ormerod repeatedly said we are the best team he's seen this season and Rubin Colwill will go on to play Premier league football.

We should've been 2 or 3 up by half time and also had a great opportunity 2nd half before a lucky bounce set Bowler away for their goal.

Poor result yes, but we should've won with the chances we created.

Feel free to have a meltdown and be realistic about where we are as a club.

Exactly.

Some will look at the score and say "oh well it must be terrible" without actually remembering the game they've just watched.

We need to improve the finishing, that's the issue.

This wasn't like Bolton, when we never even looked like scoring.

He is a school teacher/lecturer. Theoretically brilliant, but his whole football reality is being torn to pieces by hardened professionals.

The wide players being so wide and holding position is food and drink in this league, Ashord, Kellyam and Davies all want to be in the inside channel but they are out there talking to the fans in row A.

Sadly he is Russell Martin, trust the process is bollox.

I can't see him changing, its Bury all over but in a much bigger club

2 defeats to teams right at the bottom of the league in 2 weeks.
You have to admit, it doesn't look too good!

What a horrible loss. f*cking pissed me off this one.

I'm judging the performance I've seen, not just looking at the result.

All the chances we missed are why we lost, that's the reality.

People on here were saying they were happy with our performance at half time.

A fair comment but for me there is too much tinkering, not enough backbone and the manager doesn't know his best team
Blackpool were 23rd for a reason
Not going to have a meltdown either, but this was a bad defeat and I'm thinking this isn't a promotion team

I won’t be having a meltdown and we could have easily won today…….but……..football is a results business and the results recently haven’t been good enough. We need to finish off teams.

Second half they did hammer us after a lucky 1st goal, we win the ball high and I think it was Joel Colwill who slipped and Bowler then had all the time in the world to pick a pass, and who knows what Lawlor is doing (he was dreadful 2nd half)

We continued to get into dangerous areas and miss chances before the 2nd goal on the counter.

I don't agree with the 1st sub, bringing Robinson on for Robertson left us too open in midfield.

I thought we played quite well up until they scored & for a long period after that but our failure to score has again come back to bite us in the arse, as well as their keeper having the first half of his life. But we're so slow getting the ball from defence to our forwards that the opposition has had time to get back & reorganize. Not sure what Lawlor was doing for their second though, he seemed to keep getting further away from their forward rather than closing him down & Trott didn't come off his line because Lawlor should have been doing his job.

All in all not a bad display but we need to get the ball forward quicker & put it in the net. Salech needs a rest, he's getting too frustrated with the poor refereeing & not getting anything from any of them, also seems to be complaining a lot at his own players. Onwards to the next game.

So yes I'm very disappointed about the result but I'm not going to pretend I hated the performance when I didn't.

i agree with this. I think some on here believe we should win every week 5 v 0 because we are in league one. That was not a poor performance but something is not clicking lately. Is it inexperience in the side? a lack of being ruthless? Much for BBM to think about. Remember everyone was purring last week about the Wrexham performance too. It doesn't mean we have been found out or a poor team. This is a tough spell.

I wont be joining in either but we do need to adapt.

We are struggling to score, still too slow putting the ball in the box, still looking for an extra pass and the single striker option is not working.

We need BBM to demonstrate he can adapt to this scoring problem.

Personally, and I’ve been consistent with this, think we should be playing Ashford centrally close to Salech. Give the centre halves something else to think about, Ashford’s movement is great but he is not a winger.

Turnbull came on and did nothing, he is not the answer.

We were really naive at the back, Lawler was great and awful, he and Chambers massively over committed multiple times in the second half.

3 pts off the top…. 11 off relegation…. The division is tightening.

Ned he's got to sort the defence out its week after week of poor defending 2 goals scored today after losing possession outside Blackpool area! It really looks as if the players don't know where the other defender is on pitch and that smacks of not playing same players every week when possible.... playing Salech on his own is not working never as done .... chances falling to players who cannot hit elephant from 5 yards! Yes plenty chances but no goals until 90+ mins same old story week after week. Let's play like whrexam game and Early in season and not try to manage a game to stop opposition scoring it doesn't or hasn't worked most season... we are far better than performances suggest let's play like it ... but is bbm learning anything I don't think he as judging by this and other performances.
Luckily top 3 teams lost as well

Dead right Annis - there are people on here who simply cannot/will not see the woods for the trees!! We do not have either the quality or consistency to win promotion with this team. BBM got the job by promising to spend nothing. He has been caught out by inconsistency. We cannot go on excusing this kind of performance by thanking other teams for losing too!! We should be a country mile ahead in this league already but inconsistent performance have us bogged down with half a dozen other teams. It does not augur well for the future!!

This wasn't like Bolton, when we never even looked like scoring.

Performance may have been good overall but come on guys, this is not a 1 off now, our form is poor.

We are becoming too 1 dimensional, opposing managers know they just have to sit back and soak up the pressure coz they can hit us on the break. They also know we've got a very weak and niave underbelly.

We are right to get concerned after this coz it's becoming the norm.

If you didn’t watch the game, that’s a terrible scoreline on paper. The first fifteen minutes we were overrun, clearly their tactic ahead of kick off. For the next 30 minutes we should’ve scored 2 or 3 which would’ve arguably put the game to bed by half time. We’re creating opportunities but our finishing is so poor. We need to be letting shots go just inside the posts, not as close to the keepers as we are. Their keeper had a good game but if a ball is top bins, it’s not getting saved.

A wider conversation needs to be had on Salech. I think he’s a top striker, but he isn’t scoring and we’re not doing anything to get around the strategies defenders use against him. He had a couple of chances today and should’ve done a lot better with them. Again, I like Salech. But his scoring/assist record isn’t good enough at this level for the ability he has.

When Eddie May won the league 2 title he brought in a hard man midfielder in Paul Ramsey. It was an absolute masterclass from Eddie. He could see we were getting over run in midfield. From the moment Ramsey joined us we walked the league. He won tackles,scored goals and wasn’t afraid to put his foot in.
We have no midfield anchor or hard man. We get over run completely if our passing game isn’t working.

Sadly ned the table does not give teams performance points. Awful today from tinkerman who is so one dimensional it's unreal now we have been sussed out with his same tactics and system set up.

There will rightly be an inquest tonight, but the overall picture for the season as a whole so far is positive, so we need to cut a bit of slack

Clearly a massively disappointing result and it has crossed my mind that we can’t play against opponents starting with a ‘B’; and that seems to include Bobby Maddley!

BBM won’t dodge the questions, and he will get it sorted (IMHO)

So Ned you say we are not clinical enough. Well let me remind you of another part of the game and that’s the defence. We have consistently put schoolboy performances in that department and BBbM seems to have no answer to it. It’s why I said we need an experienced manager for this season.

Well said about Madley. The incident mid second half to allow a player to rejoin the game behind our players and run in on goal was disgraceful. I believe BBM will get it sorted too but we need 3 points next game as this back to back defeats in the league.

We created chances yes but in reality never looked like scoring otherwise we would have with the simple chances missed...... no mention of defending? Its not this game as well its consistent in most games giving poor goals away.... missed chances poor defending is perfect recipe for losing games and that's what's happening.
Can't blame ref as nome of his decisions cost a goal or prevented a goal... poor yes but aren't they all poor.

You can’t be 3-0 down at one point and say “we played well”.

We’ve played badly more times this season than we’ve played well. Scraped victories and lost to some dreadful teams.

BBM needs to sort it out pronto. This sort of inconsistency will see us staying in league 1 for sure.

Dissapointed with the result but the performance wasn't that bad, what I would give for an Ernie chopra mcormack ruthless type of striker

My only complaint is we are starting to leak goals Where as 6 weeks ago we looked extremely tight at the back, we need to get back to that

Still win our game in hand and we go back top, I think the international break has come just at the right time, bbm now needs to prove he's the manager some of us think he is

Are we still denying that new recruits are not needed? and the squad is good enough, this score would be acceptable if it was the teams around we were playing us but a team near the bottom is a poor result and it's the result that counts not possession.
