CountryRoyal Don’t even feel remotely bad about about lumping on the Judas bet for Blackpool to win as soon as they equalised. Absolutely no faith in us, easiest money I’ve ever made.

I took 33s at HT.

Snowflake Royal Fulham under Clarke?

Bournemouth the other season? Or was that the other way round.


Shit...forgot about Bournmouth. Did we ship 5?


Both away and considering the quality of the opposition… this is worse, a lot worse.

Swansea was at home. If you look at Blackpool's recent form, they're not a bad team. Don't get me wrong, woeful 2nd half from a position of strength but this is an unpredictable league and let's judge Pauno and the players by their response to this.

And in terms of our worst 45 minutes ever, there are many contenders. Fulham at home in 2008 will always be the worst for me in terms of being gutless and also its importance. Then we recently had 3-0 at home to Wigan just before the pandemic. We get a moment like this in most seasons.

Brogue Dreadful, manager takes 100% of the blame for this one.


I can't disagree here. More often than not outdone by oppo manager.

As others have said - worst second half since the 0-6 to Bristol Rovers - Pauno has to take some blame, players more so - completely dejected - we just seemed to switch off at 2-0 :oops:

Easy to make Puscas the escapegoat tonight, but that miss shouldn't have even mattered.

Blackpool deserved to win, but that winner was all down to Yiadom.

Not only was shouting at his teammates unnecessarily at the throw in dumb, but he then took it 10 yards closer to his own goal, delivered a rubbish throw and then stumbled back to concede the pen.

Pure lunacy

We let them in so many times in the first half, just knew it was coming.

What about the Puscas miss? Should that percentage be lower?


Unfair to blame Puscas. His only decent service, ran his socks off and he made the first goal.

Any dip in form is 100% on Pauno's shoulders as he was dropped just as he was getting into the peak.

Take Puscas off - let in 2 goals straight away. Nice.

Funny how we don't go nuts when Azeez cocks up his golden chance last game. And also this.

Bristol Paul
bcubed The ref has let them pull us back constantly without thinking about a yellow. Only yellows were for dives

Wasn’t the ref, our players were dogshit and deserved nothing. They don’t work hard enough, don’t close down and appear to think they have a right to win without putting in effort. Well done Blackpool, it was like playing Barcelona, we didn’t get near you.


I stand by my view of the ref
Didn't say he was to blame but he didn't help

We are not a physical team although I thought we'd added a bit of steel. We try to play attractive
football and need some assistance from officials. A team that harries us like Blackpool did always seems to cause us problems. I maintain a lot of it could be blown up by a pickier ref.

I like the way we tried to play but it so often resulted in one intricate pass too many and being knocked off the ball. And we gave it away so often it was ridiculous.

Having said that Puscas puts his chance away and it's a different story

NathStPaul This isn't the managers fault this evening. Certain players have let us down with poor individual performances and the referee has also been extremely questionable.

The manager could have a helpful change.


How can you blindly say this isn’t the managers fault? Blackpool we’re growing into the game and we were chasing shadows and we didn’t change anything. Any decent manager would have tried to solidified us and do something tactically. We literally just waited for them to score. 3 times. :lol:

Anybody who says this isn't the managers fault is utterly clueless about football

This.

I said at the end of the first half that we were awful and lucky to be winning. Sadly it didn't improve.

No idea what that means.

Have I suddenly gone Pauno out? He is often outdone by oppo manager at half time, can't respond well to what's happening in a game. Do I still want him to stay? Of course I do but I'll point out his flaws for sure. On the plus side he's done fantastically well with the squad he has.

Only thick pcunts choose a view and stick to it and only see good/bad based on their chosen viewpoint.

First half , I thought we had good movement and tidy , clever passing . Second half , just as bad as it could get . Passing absolutely dreadful , couldn’t be worse , no energy or pace about the team , all over the pitch . We often seem to go to a defensive mood early in the game , cost us tonight .
