Every time I see/hear the name Luke Leahy, cannot stand that p****

No ticket, no ramstv and no radio access for me today. Please provide as many helpful updates as you can whilst I frantically refresh this page 😆

I'm guessing this is just a "team of the year" produced by the blackpool Gazette not an official one, hence why Bolton make no appearance? Burrows from Peterborough is a class young player and seemingly heading to the end or his contract

Devante Cole’s contract appears to be up at the end of the season I believe.

If we stay in league one he’d be worth a punt.

Been impressed with what I've seen of him. Seems a decent blend of physical, hardworking, skillfull and smart. Would take him on a free if we got promoted to  be honest

I didn’t sing it but Reading were one of the clubs who sang it to us. That’s the reasoning. 

I didn't realise that, so thank you for highlighting it and does make a little more sense then. Would that have been at the game at the Madeski when Curtis smashed his headed equaliser in?

I still think it would be nice for us to be the "bigger" fans and not sink to the level but can understand it a bit more

Not to say I didn't enjoy the match itself though. Great win and Ebou is a colossus!

Haven't read through the thread to see if this was mentioned anywhere, apologies if it's been raised here or elsewhere.

Was anyone else really disappointed with our fans singing the "we're all having a party" chant. Hoped we might be more sympathetic given recent history. Back when blackpool had issues with their owners I remember us showing some solidarity with their fans, yet last night our loud minority seemed to want to act like d********. During our rough period, there was a lot of posts by fans slating the likes of birmingham, cardiff and other fans who chanted about our club dying. Yet last night the exact same shitty song was used by our fans against another team. 

Maybe its because I have some family in reading a close friend who supports them but it all left a bad taste for me. I was a bit embarrassed by those chants...

Interesting how that 3 is positioned is it just a simple swap with Nyambe at LCB or does everyone shift one across with Nyambe at RCB? 

I was wondering that, Bradley left of the 3 wouldn't fill me with confidence.

Could be back 4: Nyambe, Nelson, Bradley, Sibley. With Ward on the right wing, NML left

Or wingbacks: Ward Nelson Bradley Nyambe Sibley. NML up top with Collins

Imagine a George Thorne from the 13/14 season, but left footed, a year younger and not injury prone.

In the dangerous position of suggesting a player having never seen him play or really know anything about him but...

Keanu Baccus from St Mirren, Aussie international in his mid20s described as a defensive midfielder. Almost moved to Bolton in August but it feel through for some reason. Contract up at the end of the season. On paper sounds quite handy...

Any SPL experts on the forum that might know more about him?

Not buying the McGoldrick explanation though. Reckon he’s been looking at Dan Crowley.

 

Crowley or Jodi Jones who is also having a very impressive time there. I saw him get 4 assists with great crosses from the left wing in their recent game.

Must be a strong character too hes come back from multiple ACL injuries (a la Fozzy) despite only being mid 20s

Femi Azeez from Reading looks a talent. Pacey attacker, plays mostly from the right cutting onto his left so would provide a different option to what we have. Only 22 and coming to his contract end I think

Two very good players at Charlton with contracts expiring in the summer. Blackett-Taylor has been mentioned quite a bit, but Dobson's their skipper and has always looked a very solid holding midfielder from what I've seen. Could do the role Hourihane is currently and allow CH to play further up perhaps.

Ronan Curtis, formerly of Pompey and often linked in the past, is returning from injury and training with L2 Wimbledon. Could be risky but he seemed to have talent. Seems a bit of a "Tom Lawrence" figure among Pompey fans, divided on how much they rated him

I suggested Dobson from Charlton a little way back and just seen this.

It's only a line in this (very questionable) "article" that says that Charlton turned down bids from us and Wrexham at the end of the window. I like the idea he's a player we're interested in.  Good age and the right sort of attributes we could use in a midfielder

🤮🤮 That's carrots off the menu for tomorrows Sunday lunch for me. 🤮🤮

Crikey. Imagine going through all the cost and hassle of getting a ticket, travelling to Shrewsbury and then ending up in that state probably missing the match 😬

My guess is a 4-2-3-1;

                   Wildsmith

Nyambe.  Nelson.  Cashin.  Forsyth

               Fornah     Smith

     Sibley          Bird        Barkhuizen 

                       Collins

I quite like the look of that albeit a slight lack or pace. There's some good technical ability in that midfield so I just hope the ball isn't launched over their heads too much

Deserved equaliser. 

We desperately need another CM to play with Rice. Now Bellingham is playing so far forward, it needs a CM not a CAM like Maddison.

I've liked the little I've seen of Bardell and would be happy to see him battle with Rooney for right side of defence over the next few weeks while Ward/Wilson are out. Seems he can do RCB/RB rather than wingback from what I've seen

 Recently signed for Antalyaspor in Turkey 

Fair enough I hadn't seen that. Second spell for him over there I think isn't it so he must like it 

Assombalonga hasn't signed for anyone has he? Could he be worth a shout?

Really nice goal from James but the bbc commentary made me want to vomit from my ears, "England activate their cheat code", shut the f*** up. One of those phrases up there with the "hms p*** the league" that people say in terms of boiling my p***

Maybe I'm just old and grumpy 

Wycombe have signed Keogh and Leahy (Shrewsbury skipper), both horrible gob***tes so they've ended up at the perfect club
