Absolute disgrace Out fought Out though Out sung Out played Out battled They would have been booed off if they hadn’t scored. Instead they are applauded of like heroes. Fgs how fickle are we. Not one player showed ant talent. Blackpool spent no money and have the smallest wage bill and made us look like a non league team
Surprised by all the negativity here. Really enjoyable end-to-end game. The fault lies squarely with Ehab and his dad for trying to do everything on the cheap, which still all dates back to their petulance after their daft name change idea was rightly rejected. I thought the team played their hearts out, and deserved the point, especially when down to ten men. Eaves’ goal was superbly taken, and Smith could and probably should have won it for us. I think this could be the start of battling back.
I don't disagree with that. Lacked confidence, choked performance. Go a goal down, go a man down, and all of a sudden they have nothing to loose and play with a bit of freedom. Leaving 2 up top helped. Whether that was by design or as a consequence of going down to 10 men is anyone's guess. Need to be better than that against boro. We got away with one tonight.
Yes,his goal was superbly created and executed. This result suits none of us but the 2nd Half showed some good battling qualities ,maybe through utter desperation but they scrapped!! That's Hull City,that's where we're at...End of the world??Maybe is for some.
I agree. We need a plan B or a new plan A (if Ehab allows any diversion from the Hull City way) which going down to 10 men forced us into. But it was a really exciting, full-throttle game. Ref allowed Blackpool to get away with too many fouls though.
Scrapping for a draw against Blackpool is good if you're a non-league team in the FA Cup looking for a replay. A point is better than nowt but let's not kid ourselves, that wasn't a 'good' result. I said anything less than a win against Blackpool should cost McCann his job and I stand by it.
Body language can say a lot.I got the distinct feeling from the off that this was must win and anything less was curtains for McCann? Maybe the goal will save him,maybe not but it clearly mattered to the players..
Yeah I’m confused, some people say we shouldn’t be allowed to breathe the Same air as anybody that’s been in the play offs last 20 years , and also happy to draw with fellow promoted sides .. who are we allowed to hope to beat?
I said 4pts from these 2 to buy him some time. Not because I think he should stay, just that I think the Allams will leave the process of sacking and appointing a new manager to to the prospective new owners unless not sacking him will threaten the sale/valuation.
Well, the last 10 minutes was unexpected. It seems that Coyles sending off finally sparked whatever was needed to unleash a bit of spirit. Coyle himself was obviously frustrated as he punched something in the tunnel on the way to the dressing room so hope he didn’t do his hand as well. Was the best player by a mile up to then. There’s enough glimpses to show this team is capable of staying up in this league if they have the right coaching and tactics. Big if.
To be fair to Coyle, it was a bullshit decision to give him a second yellow (yes- rose tinted glasses- so what!) especially with the amount of ****housery Blackpool we’re getting away with
I'm not 'happy' to draw, nor do I feel we shouldn't be allowed to breath the same air etc, I just feel that there are plenty of signs that an end to the goal drought will see a decent run of results. We're certainly getting the ball in the right position right up until it should really be giving the keeper something to do.
