Blackpool 2-2 Bolton

Thanks for putting the cooments on for us BTID, my trusty side kick AKA the one who does all the useful work on this site!

Another shocking performance, what do the team do all week?

There is absolutely no organisation in this team, it's 11 headless chickens playing for themselves. There was the odd bit of quality but we could have lost this game 6-2 and no one could have complained.

The defence is a disgrace, an absolute disgrace. All four of them need to be dropped, it's the only way to improve. Four kids could not do any worse, trust me. Curtis Fleming is doing a bang up job.

Freedman out.

Change the fucking record, you boring fucker.

1 away clean sheet in 54 is pretty boring.

It was a good game, but at no point did I think we were going to win, even at 2-1 up with 10 min left. I think we look dangerous coming forward, but agree with Natasha that the defence is dire. Once again we have to score twice to get a point.

Sounds like you attended this one

Coyle is long gone but the back four still look exactly the same, maybe it is time for wholesale changes? However, I thought we looked great at the other end and every credit to Dougie for giving it a go without SKD.

Flemming to blame after 48 hours in the job.

I agree it's time to let him go.

True, but how many managers/coaches do we have to go through before we admit this defence cannot be improved?

I don't get the feeling Freedman is one to fcuk about to be honest.

Might be wrong but i suspect if certain players don't start improving in his systems he'll ship them out in january or look to replace them.

he's already juggled the pack and clearly has a better tactical grounding than coyle.

The speed of which blackpool equalised today was scary, especially the first one.

It sounded like a good game and I never expected a clean sheet but at 2-1 you would hope that would do it but as soon as kev phillips came on, you just bloody knew they would score. Coyle has brought some fucking aweful defenders to the club, the 3 centre backs available at the moment are poor championship level.

Drawing on the positives though, we are 3 unbeaten with Bransley at home next, this will give DF a chance to show if he can make us into a better attacking force because if he really wants to get us up this year we should be beating them about 4/5 nill.

I'd like to donate the match ticket that I won for getting the score prediction right, to Natasha Whittam.

She will go to the Ball.

Encouraging signs, but you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

Wheater and Holden to come back should improve things. That's like two new signings.

I fear it's all to late for this season though. I can't really see us going on a 5 or 6 game winning streak to make up ground on the leaders. To boot the leaders have to lose a few on route.

ps: we are still below Derby.

I hate saying this AGAIN, but I feel that this game was another we would have lost if still managed by Owen Coyle.

Obviously disappointed with the draw after leading twice. However, with the above said, an away point is a good result. A result which most of us would have honestly accepted before kick-off. Unless you're the type of fan who think we should be the Real Madrid of this league, in which case, you will forever remain unsatisfied.

It was Blackpool away, not Chelsea.

If people think we can get out of this league (upwards I mean) then we have to win games like this, especially at 2:1 up with 10 minutes left.

It was just another nail in the mediocrity coffin.

I think you're being too harsh, too soon, Nat. Give them a break. It was the first away game under this manager, and its obvious that the players are having to adapt to a new way of playing as well as a different mind-set.
