Hedges should be smashing it home there - tries to place it instead. Weak. 

Think Pickering had to come off. But would've made sure we had some more pace vs. Apter.

JRC has had a shocker tonight, it's been about a step up from Hyam's at Bristol last season 

I mean Hyam has been piss poor tonight. Soft as shit and the goal came down his side. 

[wilsdenrover]

Sounds like this one’s on JE

[Upside Down]

Well that's the wheels fallen off for this season already.

[AAK]

This needed to happen, we needed this defeat. If anyone asks why, you're part of the problem.

[Proudtobeblue&white]

What a disgrace.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Fookin hell!

[RTM08]

Still major questions about both the teams and Eustace after tonight and if we get no one in and get turned over as expected at the weekend the relative feelgood factor from the start of the season is going to evaporate.

[Torgeir]

Please refund the fans who paid to watch this.

Seems were reached our level tonight... Awful

Can’t see why they went 3 at the back. McFadzean doesn’t need crowbarring into the team.

Not possible. He was at fault for 3 goals.

Step up - as in not quite as bad, one level better off. Shame, he's not really got going this season.

JRC is so slow it’s like he is permanently carrying an injury. Had a mare tonight 

I suspect there's more truth in that than you think...

[neophox]

We will be ripped apart on Saturday...no guile no effort no Arte et labore

They all blow hot and cold. But we need more precise passing and not so many backward passes. How many touches has Pears had this match?

You can get away with having one of them on the pitch. 

We need 2 wingers a better number 10 option, a cm and a KEEPER. 

by Friday.

Shockingly embarrassing from all including the manager. He treats it like a friendly by making 5 subs in one swoop, no wonder we all looked completely clueless as regards a plan afterwards. This is equally on him as it is the players.

Oh and JRC is off the charts bad today, everything he did was an abject failure. I would push him to the under 23's similar to what JDT used to do with other senior players. He can either take it on the chin and come back stronger or he can fade into obscurity, either way in the short term we are better off without him.

[Mars Rover]

The worst part of it all was they really went out with a whimper. No shots taken in anger at all in injury time, always trying to be cute.

Blackpool looked comfortable on the ball all night. More so than us. We had one player in the team able to beat his man in Duru who's a right back. Was looking forward to a decent cup run 😕

Actually quite angry at how big of a fuck-up Eustace has made here. 

I don't place any blame on Eustace for the substitutions. We were doing the square root of fuck all before the subs anyway and it was up to the players who came on the pitch to perform.

I do blame him that in general they weren't up for it. That was a real Mowbray like Cup performance. 

All momentum killed stone dead. We'll get absolutely battered on Sunday now.

[neophox]

Seems we forfeit tonight...a give away from JRC was enough...can't see what the signing of McFadzean offer us?

Fuck off Hyam.  Shite.

I'd love to ship him out. You could tell when we signed him that he didn't want to be here. He's been crap for over 6 months now. 

[OldEwoodBlue]

Stuffed at home by a pub side.

This is our 1st team squad side and to a man they were very poor.

Its on Venkys.

Managed decline.

It was Rovers of last season minus Szmodics to bail them out.  

 

[Angry_Pirate]

"Bring on the Dingles" 🤣

Can't wait for that pathetic chant to disappear now for 3/4 months.

[alexanders]

You could see the difference in the goalkeepers when we put a cross in he comes and calmly collects and when they put a cross in it’s mayhem and chaos
