Title: Seasiders at home Sat 01.05.21 Post by: GrangeParkCobbler on April 29, 2021, 22:06:13 pm Its Brady's last stand......or is it? The final home game of a very strange season is upon us, and the requirements are clear.....we must not lose, and preferably we must win, and even more preferably we must win whilst Wimbledon lose and Wigan don't win! Are you following all this??
22nd place Cobblers welcome 5th placed Blackpool to the PTS. Blackpool have no chance of automatic promotion but do have a better than average chance of a playoff place, sitting three points ahead of 7th placed Oxford with a game in hand. After us they have back to back home games against Doncaster and already relegated Bristol Rovers so its definitely theirs to lose. The Tangerines are managed by former Liverpool U21 coach Neil Critchley, who has overseen 23 wins and 14 defeats in his 54 games in charge so far. Blackpool themselves have righted the ship after a little wobble of late, a 16 game unbeaten run was punctured by back to back defeats, however a superb 1-0 win at Sunderland on Tuesday night has left them in good shape. Those defeats were surprisingly against Rochdale and Shrewsbury. They have struggled for goals of late, scoring just three goals in their last five games, they have though only conceded two in those same five. Away form has been ok, 10 wins and 8 defeats, the sixth best record in the division. Their main goal threat comes from Jerry Yates, he has 20 goals to his name this season, 18 of them in the league, none in his last 6 outings though. Sullay Kaikai comes next in the charts with just seven goals, it was he who scored the winner at The Stadium of Light on Tuesday night. Kaikai picked up an injury in that game and faces a fitness test before Saturday. Another player who faces a fitness test is former Cobblers loanee Keshi Anderson who has been out since January with a hamstring injury but is closing in on a return of some sort before the end of the season...hopefully they'll save him for the playoffs! Former Cobblers always seem to score against us. Head to head, well now 33 games between the sides in the league, The Cobblers coming out on top in just nine of them. Seven of those wins have come at home for us though, with five defeats. Their last visit to Sixfields ended in defeat, Sam Hoskins with the only goal of the game after 21 minutes enough to give us the points. Blackpool last won at Northampton in 2002, a 90th minute John Murphy winner enough to separate the sides. Earlier this season, in fact only a couple of months ago, we slipped to a 2-0 defeat on the Fylde coast, Ekpiteta and Yates the goalscorers. Referee for this game is Peter Wright, he has already reffed two Blackpool away games, at Crewe (1-1) and Oxford (2-0 Blackpool win), and he has reffed us away from home too, sending off Joe Pritchard late on in our goalless draw at Accrington. This will be his first visit to the PTS since last season, a game where he sent off Sam Hoskins after just 10 minutes of our defeat to Mansfield. 89 yellow and three reds in his 30 games so far this season. Hoping for no injuries amongst the match officials as Trevor Kettle is the fourth official for the game!!

Title: Re: Seasiders at home Sat 01.05.21 Post by: guest3359 on April 30, 2021, 08:20:48 am Good summary. Although wont be keeping an eye on Wimbledon, think they're safe (from us) now. Rochdale v Donny is the one to watch.
Hopeful we can win this and then take it to the last game when anything can happen. But realistically getting prepared for watching L2 football again.

Rochdale v Donny is the one to watch. Hopeful we can win this and then take it to the last game when anything can happen. But realistically getting prepared for watching L2 football again. The problem is that we need to be above two of the three: AFC, Wigan and Rochdale. Realistically Wigan and Rochdale are the two, but all we can do is win both of our games and keep all appendages crossed. ;) Title: Re: Seasiders at home Sat 01.05.21 Post by: west stand oap on April 30, 2021, 13:26:04 pm A game with 2 teams in identical form, both have 8 points from their last 6 games. We are 3rd in the home table with 13 points from our last 6 home games while Blackpool are 3rd in the away table with a similar record. Only Hull have conceded less goals than Blackpool's 37 but they have only scored 54 in 43 games and you have to go down to 12th placed Ipswich to find another club with fewer. Therefor their games tend to be low scoring affairs with a total of 91 from 43 games, average 2.1 per game. In their last 10 away games they have kept 7 clean sheets so appear hard to break down, now watch us roar into a 4-0 half time lead as we did against Portsmouth.
We still owe Blackpool one for our last game of season defeat, at their place, which relegated us from the top flight in 1966 with the highest points total a team had been relegated with. Before winning at out of form Sunderland ( bottom of the last 6 games chart) they lost at home to Shrewsbury and away at Rochdale and have only scored twice in their last 5 games, both against Sunderland. We are capable of winning this and taking it down to the final round of matches.

I appreciate this will be harder for some than others ;D I reckon anything argumentative should be £1 into a charity of their choosing, outright insults £5. Anyone tells me to **** off it’s a tenner. :P Failing that it might be good to have a quiet weekend and start the autopsy on Monday! Good luck today boys and girls….UTC.

Great idea Tone, although charity's are a bit iffy right now. Feed the world..well they didn't and apparently Oxfam now rape children? I don't know where to turn? With that in mind, charity begins at home so if we start the "Finish the East stand" charity and as we are playing Blackpool if Evers dons a kiss me quick hat, I'll go tongues in for a tenner.

- Marshall for Miller or Hoskins - Chuks for Morris Then Edmondson for A.Jones if/when he gets knackered. Miller for me is a player that flatters to deceive: he's got pace and good control but there's very rarely an end product. Marshall IMO is more likely to provide that every elusive assist given his directness and crossing ability.

Title: Re: Seasiders at home Sat 01.05.21 Post by: covcobbler on May 01, 2021, 15:52:13 pm Honestly this game pretty much sums up our season, no goal threat, crap defence, poor decision making and managers making the wrong tactical decisions (although this has been an ongoing issue since post Wilder). It could just be the disappointment that this squad didn't show any effort what so ever to get themselves out of this position but I wouldn't trust many of these players to get us out of League two cause they simply don't have the talent or the character (excluding Watson, a couple of the loan players and possibly the two Jones's) but this is just my opinion and I'm just an angry supporter fed up with the crap we've had to watch all season.
I'm still behind Brady but imo he has next season (or at least until Christmas) to put his stamp on things and prove he's the man for the job as I'm not sure any manager could have come in and change the direction of this team with the players available.

Title: Re: Seasiders at home Sat 01.05.21 Post by: JollyCobbler on May 01, 2021, 15:55:47 pm At least we've been spared our typical last day misery. Let's not forgot, even allowing for how weak the squad is, it has been the repeated failure to perform against the poorest teams which is sending us down (I'm not including Blackpool among that group). Really can't see Brady getting the gig after this showing. New broom time.
Title: Re: Seasiders at home Sat 01.05.21 Post by: the grumpy old man on May 01, 2021, 15:55:52 pm We haven't laid a glove on them this half, just not good enough. I think they have tried their best but there simply is no quality there.

Title: Re: Seasiders at home Sat 01.05.21 Post by: BackOfTheNet on May 01, 2021, 15:56:48 pm I've been expecting us to go down for a while, but it's disappointing to finally go down on the back of this wet fart of a performance.

That's not all he promised or at least suggested though is it. I agree, the finished stand as it would be, from the existing structure, would be of absolutely no benefit to anyone, but if the land and it's redevelopment are worth anywhere near some of the figures quoted on here, then KT/DB could afford to start again with the East, extend North and South stands, build conference centre, hotel, sweet shop et al and still be left with a tidy profit. Title: Re: Seasiders at home Sat 01.05.21 Post by: bungle on May 01, 2021, 16:30:37 pm I don't blame Brady for Mitchell's howlers. Arnold is equally poor and his back injury has forced Brady's hand in terms of selection. As a manager you just cannot legislate for that kind of individual incompetence. Curle's recruitment is the primary reason for our relegation, and we have to remember that.
However, Brady's substitutions smacked of a worrying Dean-Austenesque tactical naivety today. Two things that both Curle and Brady have repeatedly failed to understand this season: 1. You cannot score if you do not have possession of the football. Taking McWilliams off meant that Blackpool started to completely dominate midfield possession. Taking Morris off would have been a much better choice, but I think Brady kept him on out of a misguided sense that he would be more 'creative'. 2. You cannot score if your crossing and creative-decision is terrible and you leave your best assist-maker on the bench until the 75th minute. Hamstring or no hamstring, Marshall should have been on way sooner today as he is our best and often only chance of an assist. As widemen, Miller and Hoskins have no creative end product and their decision making is poor. All the talk about strikers this season has been largely missing the point IMO. Curle and Brady's constant throwing on of extra strikers has just been shuffling the deckchairs on the Titanic. The fundamental issue is the creative supply line and neither of them have done enough to address it. Strikers who can create chances for themselves with zero service are as rare as rocking **** at this level. Chuks is the nearest we've got to someone in this category and he should have been given more minutes than Edmondson and Rose today. Having said all that, I'm not one for throwing the baby out with the bath water. IMO Brady has done just about enough to emerge as a credible candidate to take us forward. Overall, the style of play has improved, he's improved players like Watson and Horsfall and the results against the likes of Portsmouth, Ipswich and Oxford suggest that he can make an impact at this level. I'd like to see what he can achieve with a full transfer window and a fully fit squad. I just hope he learns from his mistakes in games like this. Time will tell whether he's given the 'assurances' which he needs to take us forward. Title: Re: Seasiders at home Sat 01.05.21 Post by: GrangeParkCobbler on May 01, 2021, 16:42:05 pm That's not all he promised or at least suggested though is it. I agree, the finished stand as it would be, from the existing structure, would be of absolutely no benefit to anyone, but if the land and it's redevelopment are worth anywhere near some of the figures quoted on here, then KT/DB could afford to start again with the East, extend North and South stands, build conference centre, hotel, sweet shop et al and still be left with a tidy profit.

Title: Re: Seasiders at home Sat 01.05.21 Post by: guest3063 on May 01, 2021, 17:13:02 pm I don't blame Brady for Mitchell's howlers. Arnold is equally poor and his back injury has forced Brady's hand in terms of selection. As a manager you just cannot legislate for that kind of individual incompetence. Curle's recruitment is the primary reason for our relegation, and we have to remember that. However, Brady's substitutions smacked of a worrying Dean-Austenesque tactical naivety today. Two things that both Curle and Brady have repeatedly failed to understand this season: 1. You cannot score if you do not have possession of the football. Taking McWilliams off meant that Blackpool started to completely dominate midfield possession. Taking Morris off would have been a much better choice, but I think Brady kept him on out of a misguided sense that he would be more 'creative'. 2. You cannot score if your crossing and creative-decision is terrible and you leave your best assist-maker on the bench until the 75th minute. Hamstring or no hamstring, Marshall should have been on way sooner today as he is our best and often only chance of an assist. As widemen, Miller and Hoskins have no creative end product and their decision making is poor. All the talk about strikers this season has been largely missing the point IMO. Curle and Brady's constant throwing on of extra strikers has just been shuffling the deckchairs on the Titanic. The fundamental issue is the creative supply line and neither of them have done enough to address it. Strikers who can create chances for themselves with zero service are as rare as rocking **** at this level. Chuks is the nearest we've got to someone in this category and he should have been given more minutes than Edmondson and Rose today. Having said all that, I'm not one for throwing the baby out with the bath water. IMO Brady has done just about enough to emerge as a credible candidate to take us forward. Overall, the style of play has improved, he's improved players like Watson and Horsfall and the results against the likes of Portsmouth, Ipswich and Oxford suggest that he can make an impact at this level. I'd like to see what he can achieve with a full transfer window and a fully fit squad. I just hope he learns from his mistakes in games like this. Time will tell whether he's given the 'assurances' which he needs to take us forward. Do you want the managers job Bungle? Sounds like you know what you're talking about.

Didn't happen - can't remember a cross that got past the first defender. No real fight at all. To be fair to Blackpool they handled us well and were in the driving seat after the first 15 minutes, barely needing to get out of 2nd gear.
Title: Re: Seasiders at home Sat 01.05.21 Post by: west stand oap on May 01, 2021, 18:06:15 pm This performance epitomised our season. Lack of ceativity and cutting edge leading to the opposition goalkeeper having one of his easier games of the season. Poor delivery of crosses, corners and free kicks with too many giving their 'keeper catching practice. Presenting the opposition with goals, 2 from our 'keeper today to add to his collection although since xmas there has not been too many from defensive errors as there was in the first half of the season starting in the first minute of the first league game. Don't know why people are complaining about Watson being subbed as he was hardly in the game today.
Not sure why some people are mentioning Adams and Holmes. Adams was rightly let go as he could not reproduce his division 2 form in division 1 with very few assists and Holmes was mostly ineffective in his short time here and has not been great at Southend apparently.

Have you seen the penalty decision for their equaliser ? I really don't like Lincoln either but that decision was one of the worse ever, they must be SO pissed off.Title: Re: Seasiders at home Sat 01.05.21 Post by: Irchy cob on May 02, 2021, 06:19:41 am Spinning off at a tangent - if you thought the ref in our game was bad then have a look at the penalty that John Busby gave P**h to make it 3-3. Absolutely unbelievable.
Title: Re: Seasiders at home Sat 01.05.21 Post by: DrillingCobbler on May 02, 2021, 09:15:33 am Quite some irony that we kept the worst of everything in our locker before releasing it all in time for our relegation party...
1. Worst goal keeping display of the season. 2. Worst tactical set up of the season. 3. Worst use of subs of the season. If there was ever a moment that summed up our season it was when it was 0-0 - striker goes clean through on goal, and then falls over. Almost biblical! As for Brady; not one bit convinced, sorry. We've gradually (overall) got worse and worse during his reign, with the odd little spike along the way. He has no previous football league credentials, it would be a huge g@mble to appoint him and it could very easily end in Austin style tears, 10 games in.... His points per games ratio is basically no better than Curles, and thats with a better squad of players than Curle had to choose from during the first half of the season. He interviews well, he's a top bloke, but I've made my mind up now. No thanks!

Absolutely unbelievable. Yeah I saw that. Must be one of the biggest refereeing howlers I’ve seen, so much so that it was actually funny. The guy should have been given a straight red for how bad the simulation was! ;D I always wonder what a ref must think when they watch something like that back? He had a good view too.

I assume that the ref will make up the hundreds of thousands of pounds that that decision will cost Lincoln.

Slightly funnier due to it being Appleton. For all it’s faults I’m sure even VAR would have pulled that one up. |
