Because they should be doing much better than one win in five, for a team with parachute payments fresh from the top league! A lot on here aren't happy with 3 wins in 5.

If we'd spent (and made) as much as Burnley and in 15th place after a month, I'd be getting twitchy. Let's see how the team looks by the end of the transfer window. Clearly we're after a couple of defenders, and maybe a midfielder. The big worry for me is there's no talk of bringing in a goalscorer and aside from BBD who alternates between Brereton and Diaz match to match, we don't have much if a goal threat up front. If he doesn't play well, we don't score.

I thought he meant that too.

It was a mercy sub.

And despite being terrible Burnley ended up with a 3-3 result after being 3-1, at home.

And needed one since last season.

The league table is still looking good but the manner of the defeats is cause for concern. When is Wharton back?

I don't understand this at all, it's like playing ten with Gallagher on the wing. Hedges is injured btw.

We've just played three good teams for this league, and got three points. Stoke will be a big game because if we can't get a result against them we're in trouble.

Burnley finished 3-3, shocking home result considering they were 3-1 up.

Some players can't be improved, especially when the squad is so thin. You need competition in a squad. And let's not forget that Rovers were especially low on numbers when we kicked off this season. Pickering won't be anything other than league 1 sadly. Far too early to judge JDT with the paper thin squad and injuries.

Edun, Pickering and Gallagher were all signed by Mowbray.

After today's display we can't afford to not sign a goalscorer.

Yes but they aren't playing with a 17 year old and Pickering at the back. Do that to any team and they'd struggle. Travis and Buckley played like they didn't know what a football was again too so that doesn't help when you've got such a paper thin defence.

Are Blackpool playing with a 17 year old and Pickering at the back?

He's injured.

I don't think people are taking on board how much of a miss that Wharton is. But having Wharton in wouldn't have automatically made Buckley, Pickering, Travis, Edun, Gallagher any less shit today.

At least it's not an altogether depressing weekend. Come on Blackpool!

That was disgusting from Travis, he had more than enough time to pass it.

Who gave that ball away for their third? Deserves dropping just for that.

It's mostly about the lack of signings.

Buckley, Pickering, Gallagher should be dropped. Philips too young. Brereton sold to fund a proper f***** team.

Get Pickering out of the first team asap.

How did Sheff Utd not score then?

Not just through the middle. For example Dolan just won the ball back really quite skillfully, passed it to Buckley who did a quick pass to a SU player.
