or shit tactics from a shit manager

And who do you think could be to blame for that ?

Apart from Graham, Mulgrew and Reed, they all are.

Ridiculous

100% agreed BB Problem is that Biz holds the concept of "taking part" above the one of "winning". This season Tony gets a "free hit" because of what he did so far. Next season he needs to get us promoted or get the sack. Today he had better make sure we win the game.

He was very easily knocked off the ball every time he got it, which gave away possession. Just seems very weak to me. And he isn't the type of player who can receive hoofball. And he isn't a winger Why did we buy this lad ? Not to mention the fee.

We needed 7 Championship quality players to go into the first team replacing the 3rd division players. We bought none. We only got Reed on loan and its possible he will get recalled next week. Yet we spent a relative war chest on something.

Tony will prefer Palmer and Smallwood

Is there an update on Reed’s hamstring ?

During the Villa game on Radio 5 they were discussing when Ron Saunders won the league title with a squad of 14... included Gordan Cowans Them were the days

Graham, Mulgrew and as proved recently, Conway. These experienced players will leave a big hole and need to be replaced wisely. Take these out of our side and Reed going back then what have we got left ?

Fought hard today and made a good side work very hard. Reed was excellent. We need to buy that lad next month if we have any kind of ambition. Nyambe was very good (second only to Reed for MOM) No surprise both were knackered the last 10. These 2 really put a shift in today. Then we had Palmer who is absolute crap. I can’t actually believe he was brought on as he should be nowhere near our first team. His contribution was losing the ball (as usual) three or four times. The first almost cost a goal and he didnt even put any effort in to get back, just trotted back like a fancy Dan. He also managed to play a terrible pass pushing Brereton too wide when it should have been a certain goal effort. Must go back next month. Brereton seems a bit weak for this mens league. Graham held up a few balls today like he was a rock. Chalk and Cheese. Man and Boy.

Waggott’s Xmas offer = massive FLOP

Did the text mention total commitment ?

Interested to see the attendance today. Waggott’s Xmas offer.... 20K or a flop Back to plan A (there is no plan B ) of flogging half STs If they suddenly offered 20 quid off an adult half ST if bought today with a match ticket for eligibility, they would shift a few STs I think. Half price shirt voucher if you buy a half ST today. Seems some innovative ideas might be more effective than “buy a half ST or you are not a proper fan” plastered on every bus stop.

Nonsense. TM is a cautious creature in a brutal industry. IF vs job security ? They did in the summer and he went on record as refusing it in favour of slowly slowly

TM benefits from lowering expectations and telling them it takes us 6 seasons to challenge... slowly slowly. Nothing like a bit of job security. Alternative is yes ok I will spend 25 mill and get us up this season and get sacked when fails. I have felt for a while that we may be hindered by TM both on and off the field. Jury is still out.

£1 discount 3 days before Xmas is a stroke of genius. Of course we cant offer deals unless reciprocal so the blame lies elsewhere but none of that rhetoric increases attendances.

Errr Earth to Matty The club already stated there will be no deals.

I am intrigued to hear the noises coming from Ewood after the half ST nonsense has passed. At the moment it is full on BULLSHIT SELLS HALF STs. All hands on deck.

not according to Chaddy you cant both be right

sounds half Portuguese

Boz is correct It’s either a tactic as you say or Lenihan is just a bit thick / rubbish

Wish people would stop talking about signing Chapman The lad’s career is finshed due to injuries. Forget him.

WOOSH
