might be my hearing but on 4 minutes sounds like he said he's the biggest loser in the world - for once i agree with him

I didn't listen to the manager today Burnsey, but I reckon he's got a point. We're not getting played off the park, and we've played some of the better teams. Then again, when you're bottom, that's rather a big pool. We'll come good, just have faith, it's not as though they're not trying or have lost heart, they're making, but just not taking the opportunities yet. It'll come.
Moaning seems to be a bad habit some have become entrenched in.

I do wonder if some people actually watch what is going on on the pitch before posting their repetitive moans.
it was a filthy night last night, fine football was never an option. We dominated possession throughout and while our lack of confidence means our play can be a bit ponderous, especially when building from the back four, we rarely looked like we would be troubled by Blackpool. Their goal was a good one and came pretty much out of the blue - conceding a goal doesn’t make a team ****, everyone’s at it.
To rescue the match the manager revamped the formation entirely, taking off the misfiring Wilks and playing a regular 442 formation. Blackpool struggled with that, even after we went to ten men, and the equaliser was a fabulous vindication for Eaves.
So. If you think we were crap last night, maybe factor in the pissing rain. If you think Eaves is ****, factor in how the club has the treated and marginalised him recently. And if you continue to dribble on about formations, maybe recognise that the manager changed it last night and got us back in the game.
I’m sure McCann will learn from last night - I’d start Eaves on Saturday, exploiting the lift that goal gave him - and a few posters would do well to do the same.

that last bit is the problem though isnt it, he wont learn and will start exactly the same on Saturday! if he doesnt , ill hold my hands up , id be happy to see him start Eaves alongide Smith/Klp considering the impact the change of formation had last night. we looked more dangerous in that 10 minutes then most the season combined, the reason we keep repeating our moans is exactly for that reason that he doesnt bloody learn!
I don't agree with everything you said AlRawdah but after coming back from the game
last night and logging on here I thought a lot of people were far too negative about it
and one thing I didn't see was lack of effort from the players .
Will McCann learn anything though ? Why didn't he make changes earlier ?

So you’ve already made your mind up about Saturday then? That’s exactly what I’m referring to.
based on the past 56 games in the championship , yes
like i say would be happy to be proved wrong, you expect him to suddenly change system now? lets hope so
The problem is that he doesn’t seem to learn from anything. Other managers would, they wouldn’t play Wilks after his poor performance and they’d take the opposition into account. On the evidence of the previous 50 odd games, it’ll be the exact same.
I hope he does change it and start Eaves, I prefer him to Magennis, I just don’t think he will.
I did watch the game. Yes the weather was foul, for both sides. Most of the possession we 'dominated' was in our own half, passing it about between keeper and midfield with Blackpool looking on untroubled. Yes it's possession but it's doing us no good. Yes he brought Eaves on, and he scored but why wait until the last 10 minutes before doing that when it was clear as day up to that point we wouldn't score in a month of Sundays. Incidentally he didn't bring Wilks off, he did the full 90 for some unfathomable reason. And it was only after Coyle got sent off that the team woke up. Don't tell me McCann engineered that too?
I'm glad Eaves scored, he's always tried his best, I just don't think he's very good. I'm also not asking for McCann's head just yet, I'm in the give him 'til Xmas camp unless a new owner pre-empts that.
UTT.
He never took Wilks off and he is NOT a centre forward in any case, couldn't do it in league 1, certainly can't in Championship
Eaves: '“It felt amazing hearing the fans singing my name. Hearing them chanting about me is hard to put into words. If only we could have got the winner at the end for them as it would have been extra special.”'
just received the obligatory email from the club warning fans about the naughtiness in the north east corner resulting in fans being banned and extra review of individuals - apparently policing and stewarding costs are increasing with a request to please report any suspicious behaviour to a member of staff immediately - just done that i saw 11 men impersonating a football team last night
Blimey. We get a draw against a very poor team and some on here are acclaiming Eaves as the messiah and drooling at the tactical nous of McCann as he” changed it” late on. Keep taking the tablets!
Blackpool's manager seems a little more realistic than ours...

Yeah, that made me laugh..
About the only thing he said that I agreed with.

Isn't that interesting? I do understand why our manager wants to remain positive , but would love a bit more honest self assessment and recognition of what the problems are. Was still talking in his interview last night about how good it is we have forwards who can play anywhere across the front line.
Do they not have to have any homegrown players in their team then?Real Madrid got beat by Sheriff Tiraspol of Moldova at home tonight, that's the equivalent of somebody like Salford beating Manchester City. Top of their group now. Not a single Moldovan player was on the pitch tonight either.
