Re: 13 games, 1 win, 9 games without scoring

Dalman and Choo are responsible for us being in this position and the fact that both of them are part time and live in London surely doesn't help matters

At least last night we started to look like a football team instead of just hoofball!
Morison will need plenty of time and support to get his ideas across from the fans and more especially from the board.

If Dalman and Choo watched last nights improvement and still think we will get away without some serious investment in the playing squad in January, then there deluded imho.

Morison isn't a miracle worker and doesn't have a magic wand, were short of 4-5 players that are needed to ensure safety this season at the very least.

Morison is going to have to do it his way as it looks to me that a host of senior players are already looking for their next move at the end of May.

Lack of ability or skill is something you just get use to with some players, but lack of enthusiasm and effort is indefensible, and we have too many who sadly fall into that category.

Might be time for their agents to have a reality check with them, as watching a few of ours last night, I can't believe there will be many other clubs at this level looking to employ them in the summer

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

We may pull of the great escape this season, but with players going out of contract and the stated "no money for two transfer windows" next season will be dire.

The bookies have Derby as nailed on to go down with Hull as second favourites. Joint third favourites for relegation are Reading and Posh. Then Barnsley. Via Oddschecker.
Cardiff may be in a mess but there are clubs in bigger messes.

Derby are absolutely gone, Pearcey.

Hull have no guts and will be gone too.

There is a very real prospect that we'll be going down as well but looking up the table, I see that Reading could quite easily find themselves in a spot of bother as could anyone in the bottom half of the table.

I think the performances immediately after the international break will be very telling for us.

Re: 13 games, 1 win, 9 games without scoring

Surely if the club does give Morison until the end of the season (say), then that would be a cheaper option than an outsider or “name” manager, thus freeing up some money for a loan or two?
In this way we can still look just at this season to try and keep us from going down and reassess at the end of the season, perhaps by extending Morison if he’s deemed a success.

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

Can we get Wintle back in January, or even sooner ?

Great opportunity for a wheeler and dealer to make something out of nothing.
