Woeful. Pub team defending. The goalkeeper on the 1st goal pathetic. The 3rd goal is abysmal our defender should be 1st to the rebound but hes half asleep. We are sleep walking into no mans land. Sormaz and clarke need to resign Today.
I said in another thread I am glad we are giving Smith a go in nets, what with him being ours and what have you. But aside from the goals ......... 36 seconds? Did that really need pushing out for a corner? No real pace and not exactly through a crowd of players. He'd have got stuff like that out of his system early doors had we started him. Instead we afforded that luxury to Slonina.
The Smith situation was a strange one, supposedly going out on loan, then staying to fight for his place from Gauci, then obviously thrust into action due to Gauci's injury. It was all a perfectly avoidable situation, I know there's a big element of hindsight but looking back to January what was the real urgency to bring in yet another loan keeper? Could have run with Killip until the EOS with Smith as NO:2 pretty sure we will have had to pay a loan fee for Gauci who's now injured. If the club had said we need to cut the wage bill in January then all our business would have made sense 8 out 4 in of very little quality so far
Bring back the days of having a squad of about 22 players who were all at the club. Not 25 at the club, including loans in key positions and another 20 contracted to the club but loaned out to various lower league clubs. Like a Temu version of Chelsea.
Thought the first goal was bad from on the Ponty at the time. Looks a lot worse on that footage. Terrible goalkeeping.
Where's the fans? The east stand and ponty look like a pre season friendly crowd and nobody can be seen on kop. Not a good look.
1st half highlights made it seem like their was nothing between the sides with showing one chance for us and two for Blackpool. They should have put the other half a dozen Blackpool could have scored with in front of their 826 fans.
