    Not at all impressed with Hull so far.

    Just a series of long balls over the top or diagonals out to the wings. They look over coached, if you know what I mean, and no one is trying anything spontaneous. I can't believe they can be so inert in the second half ...

    ... be nice to see how our full backs can defend <laugh>

    Was it LJ's decision?

    Sporting Director Kristjaan Speakman said: “Elliot requires a little more opportunity than we can provide at this moment and it’s an important period for him following the time he missed through injury. We have a clear plan for his progression and felt that under Neil, Blackpool was a great chance for him to gain more experience at this level in a different environment. We’ve taken the option on his contract for next season and we are all aligned on what he needs to do in the period leading up to the summer. He’s really excited about the challenge and we look forward to supporting him from afar.”

    Evans has been excellent in midfield. Right place, right time and keeps it simple.

    This next half will be a good test to see where we are at. The amount of times we played well in the first half last season, to come out in the second looking totally unmotivated was worrying. A second goal early on would be lovely.

    Big 45 coming up, we played all the good football in that first 45 and could easily be 2 up
    Evans off AoB on

    would have preferred Evans to have a full shift we know what AOB can do already

    That's because people don't know how to use the new system.

    Nobody was bothered at the time because Blackpool were rubbish. Hindsight is a wonderful talent.

    Excellent play from O'Brien to win the corner.
