What an athlete Dolan is, must have run a marathon already. 
Morton having a cracking game

It hurts. We didn’t look up for it at all. Soon as Gallagher went off and the nothingness that is Jack Vale came on, it was over.Did he even touch the ball?

What a completely incredulous start to the season. Some decent performances, but more poor ones. Somehow we are 3rd with a 5 point gap to 7th.
We are a bit of mess in truth, and this time off is probably good news for us in the long run. We have to figure out some stuff. The 3-5-2 is okay in some games but today was not the day for it. What an embarrassment the first goal was when you have three 6’4 Centre halves in there vs one striker. The midfield was dreadful today, Morton went fully AWOL, Travis was sluggish and can’t pass a ball, and Garrett isn’t ready. I’ll stop short of calling for Bradley Johnson, but we do need an experienced player in there asap.

Brereton is gonna just have to play through the middle like he does for Chile. This moving out wide-left constantly isnt working. We are not good enough for the tippy-tally game, we need to be direct and have a focal point.

A lot of time now for JDT to figure this out, oh and get Bradley Dack fit and Hedges further forward.

Somebody at least put someone in the stands for gods sake. Collection of whimps

I want Ayala fined for this, he has taken an absolute d*cking from Ashley Barnes here. Embarrassment

Vale offers fuck all ..he really is a piss poor striker 

Should have been culled years ago

3 Centre halves playing against one striker, should never be able to get a headed goal like that.

Really getting sick of Jack Vale doing absolutely nothing whenever he comes on. Useless

I thought their Clarke lad looked excellent.

Absolute steaming pish. Can barely pass the ball 10yards. Just embarrassing

Fine with Wharton getting 90mins bossing an under 21 game.

We are due this mob a hiding 

Don’t mean to be a d*ck but that’s the first 45mins this season that Pickering hasnt looked a complete liability.

Don’t think the Watford boys fancy this much. 

Massive balls up this one, FA have jumped the gun and ended up with egg on their face. 

Cricket and Rugby going ahead is just laughable. 

Its a farcical decision, and I consider myself a Royalist.

Really key for us is if Scott Wharton is available. Without him we are nowhere near as solid.

Unsurprisingly Id say it's absolutely critical we change to 343/352. RWB without Britain is a worry but as someone else mentioned I'd go for Buckley there. I'd keep A Wharton in there too.

Until there's more team news would think something like this. I'd focus on absolutely murdering them in the midfield. Heavy challenges, close closing. And then trust our midfield to break and support the front two.

                       Kaminski

        Carter.     Hyam.   S Wharton

Buckley.   Morton.    Travis.   A Wharton.  Pickering 

                Hirst.          Brereton  

This but Mola instead of Pickering. 

Kaminski has had a shocker for the second, it’s mid height and right within arms length. Gut punch and half.
 

We got beat up, again today. So slow on and off the ball. 2-3 flatters us. 
 

Really don’t know what to think of JDT, we really need to stop getting battered from teams though. All the players are so inconsistent, Dolan done nothing for weeks, then boom best player on the park second half today, Hyan great game at Blackpool, all at sea today. Brereton sensational midweek, poor today. I could go on. Just feels like a nothing season which begs the question why we’ve kept Brereton. The players and manager need to start figuring out this, as the only thing consistent about us, is our inconsistency. 
4-2-3-1 works great sometimes and then other times we look so disjointed and the space we give teams is sensational. None of starting 11 today I would classify as quick, and at ewood we really struggle with speed. Wells has had another field day today as we couldn’t keep up. 
I think I will just accept mid table, development season and try to relax a bit more. This team isn’t pulling up any trees this year.

Work our way into and good position then pass it back. What’s the point?

Another shameful performance

Oh my god

Toothless

Abysmal goalkeeping

Zero pace in the team, it’s a huge problem.

We keep having spells in games when we are nothing but relegation fodder.

This Pickering slating, are you watching on the radio?

The lads having a decent game, some good distribution too.

 

It’s not the distribution it’s the obvious lack of athletic ability that is the concern.
