I wouldn't mind as much - but I live all week waiting for these TV games. I get my beer in, settle down, and its always bloody game over with only half a game gone. At least keep a shade of competitive spirit and make it interesting. But now it's game over for sure. If anything, I think they'll get another goal or two.
 
I understand that teams have better and worse games throughout the season but this is just ridiculous. We aren´t even pressing them. Blackpool want this so much more than we do. Very disappointing.
 
I think the problem seems to be (apart from that our passing has no tempo- how much that is due to the pitch I'm not sure) that our tactics so often relied on having the option of the longer ball up to Lambert, with him holding it up, knocking it down, laying it off to the creative players coming from midfield.

That ball just isn't working today with no Lambert.

Can see where he's coming from. I'd rather myself on the pitch than any of the team today other than Davis.

If we'd be lucky to get autos with a six point lead with six remaining because we have one bad game, what the **** would West Ham be lucky to get at this point, having won one of their last seven? If Adkins and our players panicked half as much as our fans do, we'd be staring up at Doncaster.

Yep...nothing is sticking up front, we need another way of playing without Rickie.

I agree. They're like the French Army.
 
We don't how to play direct and that is our problem. Blackpool's attacks have come from counter attacking hoofs or us giving the ball away under no pressure.
 
Blackpool see this as "Their Cup Final" ...to us its another mid table team who are playing their hearts out.

When you dont close down the ball / runs and make tackles then u deserves to lose.

Today all 15 need a good rollocking at ..its needed!!
