Gary's Banister Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 We were outclassed by a better team from front to back. Blackpool have built the team that they have over a long period, including time in the premier league. They've now landed back in the championship with the aid of a nice parachute. At times today (beginning of both halves) we had them on the racks and looked like scoring. Teams are going to come to Hillsborough and give us a lesson in how to play. We can't get disheartened every time this happens, we need to keep our chins up and our heads held high. We're building for the future at the moment, our time will come.

Onedog23 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Blackpool are a good side but you can see why they have been leaking goals recently. We had no quality final third. How many times did we get into a position to put the ball in the box and didn't. Frustrating to watch. We never looked like scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReadingOwl Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 We had 37% possession, at home. Were we playing Barcelona? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shez owl Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 We will have many more games like this, but hopefully we learn and we will be better prepared for it, I just hope that's not when it's too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sheff Owl Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Yeah Blackpool will look world beaters when you allow them to play. Ince and Phillips ran the show, we didn't have a clue how to cope with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-owls Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 They'll be plenty more results like tonight to come. Looking at the table tonight, I would say its any three from the bottom five for the drop, even at this early stage. If we finish 21st then it means we'll be able to strengthen further next season. Rome wasn't built in a day, but its vital that we stay in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Big caveat - only listened to the commentary on Player. The number of times the commentators said 'no bodies in the box' was shocking. Our strikers have scored less than our defenders. So something is drastically wrong - and it can't all be put down to a learning curve. It also sounded like we were happy to watch Blackpool play the ball around - and at this level you get punished. As other posters have said in other threads - why we don't get in their faces and try to disrupt things is alarming. For me, and also going on what I've seen on TV and Player, we're crying out for an older experienced head in the middle (a Watson type of player) and why Bothroyd is playing so wide and deep I just don't get it. Give me 2 out and out strikers any day. * I have no coaching badges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironman Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 So just cos we were in league one last season we're going to be given lessons on how to play most weeks by teams? Is that what's happening to Huddersfield n charlton? And Norwich,Southampton before them...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It cannot help to play only one striker upfront and the other one in right midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevdi9 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 football is about aplication as well as skill .if you make it hard for the oposition and get in their face you could and can cause an upset apparently we did none of the above so we were taught a lesson , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wath-owl Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I agree with the OP, they simply had a better team than us and over ran our midfield at will. They generally looked fitter, stronger, faster and used the ball far better than we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping its just this bug thats been flying about the place. I can take losing when we go out giving it a real go. Tonight was embarrassing.
