Numerous time tonight we gave Blackpool the ball, eventually we gave it away once too often and paid the price!
It wasn’t all that bad was it. So close to having back to back clean sheets. Game could have gone either way and in the end it was a wayward pass from our captain that cost us.
Didn’t think the performance was that bad. We should have exploited the left more as James and Taylor showed some great link up play in the first half but we seemed to keep going down the right hand side.Both bens were good as you would expect. Halliday is terrible, new right back needed ASAP.
Only Sadlier had the brains to get on the ball in between the lines in the first half. The game was crying out for Coppinger but I’d have taken May off in the circumstances. Frustrating. Lots of territory, moved them about a bit but something missing up too. We almost asked for what happened in the end after so many wasteful passes.
Is Halliday just a scape goat this season? How can people praise Ben Sheaf and slate Halliday. I don’t get what people are watching at all.

Sadlier is better coming in from wide positions and Alfie just doesn’t score or goes past people. Disappointed with Reece James tonight as he didn’t seem to want to take his man on and get crosses in from behind their defence. We just lacked a bit of quality and quite frankly those who are saying Ennis isn’t good enough, well your joking aren’t you. No one is going to tell me John Marquis would have scored tonight. If the striker doesn’t get the service he ain’t going to score. Simple as that. Ennis is top quality and will score goals with the right service. He didn’t get it tonight.It just was not meant to be and we fell for sucker punch at the end. It happens. We move on to the next game. Bring it on. We will have learnt a lot from that match and it is no bad thing to be brought back down to Earth with a reality check.

Halliday is terrible, new right back needed ASAP. Rubbish. Completely disagree. Seems as though some on here can’t live without a scapegoat. He played very well. Final ball not great but he did more than James tonight in offensive play.
