Yes I agree, Blackpool played same amount of games but won away today with one day less rest

To be fair, I'd guess they have a bigger squad than we do

Or at least greater squad depth

After a poor 1st half, i fully exspected us to come out and take the game to them. But the first 10 minutes of the 2nd half were laughable and it didn't get much better. Really hard to understand. Sheenan diappeared in the first half after his booking, which was a joke. Dempsey and Thomason never got started.

It's already feeling like a long journey home. Players were poor, backing was weak, weather cold. A really poor day.

Folk booing the team at the end, giving em the vs, calling everyone and anyone shite can all feck off for me.

FV won’t sign who Evatt doesn’t think we need. Simple. Very little blame to be laid at their door if we’re quiet and to be fair I think they’ve backed him as much as he has wanted whilst they’ve all been here 

what we’re crying out for from the stands and what he thinks we need are 2 totally different things. But one thing we know for certain is he and the whole recruitment team won’t be rushed or pressured in to gung-ho signings 

I think we are playing with fire if we don't sign a recognized centre back in my opinion , if only on loan .

It did 😞 

Maybe it was just bad around where we were, but it was a bad end to a shit day.

Agreed.

It'd typical that we pick up an injury in the one position we really can't afford to 🙄

That isn't my call but I'm sure the recruitment team are in the know about available targets , I just think we could be in trouble if we get any injuries or suspensions in this hectic period . It would be just our luck to have such a scenario. 

Absolute fucking toilet. Took me right back to that 16/17 season where we were taking loads everywhere and kept getting beat 1-0. Could see from about 15 mins in we'd lose, wank.

I tell you what though, bumping into @jazzamade it all worthwhile, good to see you man.

You said a "recognised centre back", so I thought you must have at least one in mind? Was Santos "recognised" when we signed him?

Quite.

Especially given that some are feeling that fatigue is creeping in- increases the risk of injuries.

No, but he was shit at first.

We don't have time to bed anyone in.

You know full well what he is saying, and that it's reasonable.

I don't. I want to know who these "recognised" centre half's are. What does that mean?

No I haven't got any player in particular,  I'll leave that to I.E to identify , my point was the need we have for one , unless you think I'm being over picky wanting someone to fit straight in and not just a squad player being shoe horned in .

Argument

Bang out of order… too much ale no doubt.

Why do you have to be so smug? Like any small bit of criticism is suddenly frowned upon. If it doesn't piss you off when Bolton play shit then I'm happy for you. Maybe go and do some yoga or drink some fucking cacao and let the rest of us have a moan. 

Hes just an absolute knobhead! But, he will like ive bit!

You'll leave it to Evatt to identify the player - as long as that player fills a position you've decided we need, and he's a 'recognised' name, although you can't name anyone. How about just let Evatt do his job?

You said a recognized name not me and if you think that position is fully complemented then you are deluded. Oh and I'll give my opinion on the club if I want to thank you very much or do you need educating on how forums work.

Recognised can just mean a bonafide centre half as opposed to a utility player

It doesn't have to equal household name

Nope. See above.

I am allowed to give my opinions on what other people post too.

I don't think I'd describe the backing as weak.
