It is absolutely ghastly, not a fan of it. :sentoff:

Please don’t bring back Montagues and Capulets either!

Good Shout!
What sort of music does he play🤔
No Evatt has a new asistant manager and cannot see Atherton listed on Blackpool staff

Irrespective of all the talk about systems, Andy Whing's mentality, and players' ability or lack of it, what I can't understand is how a team that fought back so well from 0-2 down against Grimsby could put in such a pathetic, lazy display only a couple of weeks later against Cambridge. Answers on a poscard!

Some you win, some you lose. Sometimes you draw. Always worth bearing in mind.

Neither pathetic nor lazy on Saturday. Mistakes made in closing down breaks and ongoing issues upfront led to a loss.

It has proved in the past that keeping the ball on the ground and not feeding defences with high balls is a better way to go. Why is this not practiced in training.

We'll have to agree to disagree! I thought the second half in particular showed a complete lack of effort and movement, and I was not alone in that. Still, as we often say, its all about opinions.

I'd love to know what does go on in training sometimes.

Whing said last weekend they had spent the whole week working on moving the ball quicker and getting into areas going forwards, so what happened when it came to Saturday...they either didn't listen and or are incapable of following his instructions.

At the moment we don’t have skilful enough players
