Popular Post gonzo Posted March 11 Popular Post Posted March 11 Like has been said I'm just glad it's still alive and we can hit the play offs bang in form. Nobody will want to play us. We've got a bench built for 3 gruelling battles. Especially if ACD is back. Imagine chucking that bench on against tired legs at Wembley. Quote
Johnnyrotten Posted March 11 Posted March 11 6 hours ago, Wanderlust said: Don’t spoil a good argument with facts 😀 Whatever, Bradford have any easier path than us to the automatics and alongside the other factors would probably fancy it more than us - at least that’s the motivation in their dressing room. I think Bradford are irrelevant in the "can we make it uncomfortable for Cardiff" discussion. Because if we are going to do that, we have to win virtually all our games and certainly not lose any. That includes Bradford away, if they or anyone else beat us we aren't getting 2nd anyway. They have a much worse goal difference than us so need an extra point, if they manage that and beat us good luck to them but our target isn't affected by what they do, if we do our bit they can't catch us.

Perfect time to play them 3 days after their big cup game, they've got lucky there. Away win going on my bet, same as Hull to win at Wrexham last night. Quote

We may have to win one or two handsomely, but it will be there or thereabouts. Quote

Unless they can muster enough effort and form and want to keep their places for the next round. They have picked up a bit in recent weeks, but I suspect it will be a bridge too far. Quote

Matt Lofthouse Posted March 11 Posted March 11 Also thinks they will lose tonight and have 3 first teamers out for the season. Been nursing a semi since. Quote
bwfc4ife Posted March 11 Posted March 11 City getting bummed in Madrid losing 3-0 at half time, Valverde with a hat trick. That third goal was class Quote

deeane Koontz Posted March 11 Posted March 11 Having had a quick look at Blackpool's forum it would appear their fans aren't so chuffed about his insistence on a 3-5-2 system Quote
Whitesince63 Posted March 12 Posted March 12 (edited) Bradford piling it on again and really building up a head of steam now but not hard to see who the catalyst is. Sarce at VP played 29, won 24, drawn four, lost one. We should have got rid of that idiot Evatt instead of our captain and we’d have been in the Championship by now. Seven promotions is no coincidence. Edited March 12 by Whitesince63 Quote
L/H White Posted March 12 Posted March 12 Not a great couple of days for the English sides in Europe So how the ones in the losers Europe get on later Quote

Seven promotions is no coincidence. I was thinking very similar, not about Sarce in particular, but how well Bradford, Stockport and others have done coming out of the 4th Div. (Not including Wrexham for obvious reasons). Coupled with bang average teams getting promoted around us, Pompey, Derby, Oxford, Charlton, Rotherham. Then we have Sunderland and Ipswich in the Prem in all the time we have been floundering in this division. Evatt nearly fucked up getting out of the 4th division, and coupled with his stellar performances currently at Blackpool, I think his time with us needs to be reassessed. I make no bones I never liked the bloke, but it was like a cult on here at times that we were progressing year on year!! But were we?, did we ever actually achieve what our squads were capable of? I don't think so, and other than Plymouth at Wembley won't look back with any affection to Evatt's time like I do to Rioch, Todd or BSA. He is this generations Phil Neal, yet Neal got no end of shit, Evatt seemed immune from most until the end. Edited March 12 by JimmyRiddle Quote

Even 1 of them could've made the difference v Oxford rather than the plodders we had on the bench that day. Quote

It's a simple fact that our League position improved year on year under Evatt, so not a "cultish" thing to point out really. But yeah, at the same time, his poor man management and stubbornness prevented him from taking us that tiny step further. His last 6 months can be disregarded entirely, because he lost his fucking mind altogether after Oxford. It was like watching a spicehead trying to tie his shoe lace with a knife and fork.

gonzo Posted March 12 Posted March 12 My warning to Blackpool fans when he got the job was he's great when the goings good. When it's not his head falls off. He will swing at anyone and turn on his players. They didn't fanny about at the back v us so why on earth did they revert to it last night at a massive away game. Quote
