FT: BLACKPOOL 1 - 3 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

[MacAdder]

We lost 5-0 to the team that were bottom of the league the last time Ralls started at left wing-back.

He shouldn't be anywhere near this team and I do fear for us.

Playing him just because he is left footed

Either left back where he is terrible or CM where he is equally terrible. Not sure what one is better for us ..

[LeningradCowboy]

Tom Lockyer, deemed not tall enough by Cardiff, man of the match in the match between Millwall and Luton, two teams seemingly bound for the Play Offs.

We should definitely have given Lockyer a long-term contact when he was 16 on the off chance that he would come good 12 years later.

[dembethewarrior]

Flashscores has it as Philogene left wing back and Ralls in a midfield 3.

2 up top.

[Undercoverinwurzelland]

Philogene playing just behind Kaba and Wickham? Could work

We should definitely have given Lockyer a long-term contact when he was 16 on the off chance that he would come good 12 years later.

Someone could score in the 7th division after we let them go and someone on here would make a post about it.

He’s been good enough to play in our first team for years.

Yeah, except this time it’s someone who might be playing in the Premier League next season.

I'd like that..he's a handful. But that means Ralls as a wing back

Very true

Not true, Ralls played there in the win over the wurzels.

Unless we're playing a back 4 with Ralls in midfield with Wintle and Sawyers.

[LeningradCowboy]

Lockyer first played in the same division as Cardiff in 2019/20, which was eight years after we released him, and before that he always played a lower level. In our first season in the Premier League, he played for a team that was relegated from League Two. You're criticising the club for not being able to see a decade into the future.

[Undercoverinwurzelland]

3-1 Rotherham now.
Go on, rain!

I’m criticising a mind set that rejects a good player because he’s not tall enough.

But at the time wasn't good enough.

How do you know that?

Lockyer wasn't a good player at the time. That's why he had to drop down to the National League and work his way back up. It's not like he was immediately snapped up by another Championship club.

[dembethewarrior]

How do you know that?

Where did he go and play?

[dembethewarrior]

Commentary saying it's Ralls at LWB and Philogene in the 10 role

Big performance then lads...Joe Ralls make me eat my words

[blue lewj]

3-1 Rotherham now.
Go on, rain!

[blue lewj]

I literally couldnt care less if we get 3 points.

I wouldn’t care if we're wearing dresses as long as we get 3 points.

[dembethewarrior]

3-1 Rotherham now.
Go on, rain!

Fair play

[bluemoon]

blackpool started spritely... we are doing a bit of hit a hope stuff just now...

lets hope we can create something here

[bluemoon]

wickham shoots... ball rising like its full of helium though and goes well over
