We have started terribly, all over the place. Drewe was so good on Saturday but is getting destroyed tonight. Numerous times already he's been beaten.
We are such a strange team still. Zero consistency.
The handball seemed harsh, a ball blasted from very close. It hit an arm but was it intentional?
It was a shot on goal but Dickie was off his feet and a metre at most in front. How was he supposed to react in the short time between the ball being kicked and reaching him? If this is a rule then the rule is wrong! However, I suspect it is yet another example of poor refereeing, as he has gone on to make mistake after mistake!!
However, nothing takes away from the fact that too many in the team are not playing well. Dickie was drawn across to help the hapless Drewe because Tim was not there to assist and that left the other CBs exposed and 2-0 was the consequence. Up front both Lowe and Martin have failed to control balls and deliver. Swapping Kakay and Drewe was a good move, but what other changes are needed to make this match more respectable? Johansen? Amos? Gubbins with Field to DM?
No excuses, we were poor in all departments. The forward line was clumsy (and certainly did not improve with Armstrong coming on and playing on the left wing); the midfield allowed far too much room in front of them so Blackpool got to second balls first, and their defending (Dozzell and Tim) was far from robust; and our defence as a Back 3 and wing-backs was the complete opposite of Saturday! Dieng was at fault for one goal and still does not appear to call out for balls, leaving the CBs making hasty clearances. We were beaten soundly by a side that has struggled to score goals and conceded too many. I bet they wish they play QPR every week!
Still 19th and still 42 points...
