13 games, 1 win, 9 games without scoring

[Eric the Half a Bee]

When was the last time we had a run of form like this? It might be interesting to note that we have had a run of 13 games without a win within the last 15 years. Not in the Premier League, either.

Back in 2006/07, we started the season on fire and were 6 points clear at the top of the table at one point. We beat Burnley thanks to a Scimeca goal to nil in November. We would then go on a run of 13 games without a win, where we failed to score in 10 of those games. Incredibly we only lost 5 of those games, managing 6 0-0 draws in that spell. We also only scored 5 goals in those 13 games, compared with 7 in our last 13 games this season.

One difference, thanks to all of those goalless draws was we conceded 17 in 13 games (4 of those were in a cup replay at Spurs). This season we've let in 28 from 13.

Have we broken the club record for most consecutive home defeats yet Eric?

Yes, a while ago, when we lost to Reading.

As far as I can make out, 4 home defeats on the trot is as bad as it ever got, Durban, Hibbett, Lawrence, Warnock (PL) managed it. 7 has smashed it out of the park.

Surprised that there was nothing in the thirties worse than four - thanks:thumbup:

It’s a dire run but because of the mess other clubs are in I think you will just about stay up.

Just looked at the table and it looks grim. A third of the way through the season and 5 clubs look as if they're set adrift of the rest already.

We had one run of 4 (Watts Jones) and two of 3 in the thirties. That was it.

I think we're going down Pearcey.

It's November and we haven't scored a first half goal in the league all season. That must be some kind of record.

in the last 12 months we have lost ELEVEN attacking players and replaced ALL of them with a non-scoring old striker and a left back on loan from Wolves.....

Attacking-wise....

Ojo and Wilson returned to their clubs
Junior Holiett and Johnny Williams given a free transfer
Tomlins contracts paid off and he was released
Whyte and Murphy have been sent out on loan
Marley Watkins was given a short term contract and released (ironically scored a first half goal in the cup)
Nathanial Medez-Laing was sacked for dealing/sniffing Cocaine
Glatzel sold
Watters sent on loan


Reality is I have no problem with any of these players leaving but when you don't replace them and expect the youngsters coming through and a left back loan signing to carry the whole creativity and pace of the team is, in my opinion, negligence.

I like the way that Morison sets us up to play but without that creative spark and bit of flair in the final third we will struggle to score goals.

Whoever takes over probably needs to get in one or two free transfers, although not ideal, because the lack of guile in this team is staggering and it is a season too early for Colwill and Evans to handle that burden alone.

So yeah, unless there are some new personnel.... we will be fully rooted in the bottom three by the end of December and I can't see us getting out of it.

And the reality is the fault lies entirely with Dalman and Ken Choo - who an earth allows a team to lose 11 attacking players and not replace them.... even if the manager made the decisions... they must be blind or stupid to ignore the situation for so long

At least we will get Wintle back, a right spark for Blackpool right now and just what our midfield needs. It just about sums the club up
