Gas v Blackpool Matchday Thread

Hit long and hope for the best seems to be the way forward now. Please next game start with at least someone who can run and press opponents defence. Martin is the ideal 30 minute man at the end not from the beginning

Not great at all today, but should have got a point at the end. Was right down the line of the penalty appeal and disgraceful to not even give a foul. It looked just inside the box to me. Ref was the same one as Pompey away last season. Joke then and joke now.

Thomas ?

We look every bit a side without a settled regular XI.
Grant In midfield & Hoole anywhere other than RB just isn’t for me. We’re still wasting chances (first half x3) and didn’t create a single one in the second 45. That I can recall anyway.
The absentees are all crucial losses, Wilson, Finley, Ward, the patchwork midfield is killing us.
That being said, if we didn’t waste so many chances we’d make life a whole lot easier for ourselves! As would not playing stupid square balls across the back line with Evans showing for a pass through the middle & giving up possession so cheaply & easily.

Our game was summed up late on when LT controlled and then kicked the ball off the pitch, back towards our own goal with nobody near him just as we were mounting an attack with every home shirt up the pitch.

Side note: Second game in 4 days not a single substitute came on & made even a smidge of difference to the game. Worrying stuff.

Have to win Tuesday and stop this rot. 3 league losses on the spin and 0 points in 2024🚮

Blimey!

We’ve gone from the best squad for years to culling the entire lot!

We aren’t a million miles from a decent team, but we’ve changed managers and the squad was built to play a certain way and it will need a few tweaks to create a team that favours 3 at the back

People already outing players like McCormick and beefy need a head wobble. What I don’t get though is why return midfield players when you have no one lined up? The midfield today was all wrong.

Season over, but plenty of good players on the books, no need to start saying 80 percent of them need to go!

UTG

Just sack him he’s crap!

And the referee of course, or are you visually impaired too?

Been left a squad that’s not good enough and woefully unbalanced.


Needs a lot of support from the club to sort the mess recruitment department he inherited from EJ.

Funny how we see things differently.


Out the door.
Hunt In for me
Wilson Good player but too injury prone to rely on. We need another Tony Craig to replace IMO
Friend Alright but can't rely on
Gordon Young but a good option from the bench, wouldn't be disappointed though if he left
Crama I get he's a loan player but I'd have him back. Think this could be realistic too.
Cox Will need a replacement in the mould of Ansii Jaakola in his prime but I think he'll go on to be a good keeper.
Vale ( unless he is available to sign perm) - Will have a good career but unfinished product right now. Wouldn't be against having him back.
Sinclair Zero impact at the minute and probably expensive. Gives the impression the love of the game has gone.

Possible outs
McCormick Showing the player we had first time around these last few games. Think Barton did something to knock his confidence
Marquis Not the player I thought we'd signed
Martin Sign him up
Brown Not the player I thought we'd signed 
Connolly Good for back up
Hoole Good for backup
Ward Are you kidding? We're clearly missing the bloke



Definite keeps
Finley Agree
Collins Get a fee for him and bring some others in
Taylor Agree
Evans Agree
J Ward Agree
Thomas
