  1. It is a little bit funny that Blackpool look more or less nailed on to go down, having taken two of our (supposedly) better players from us in January.

     

    They've won 2 in 13 since then.

    Philliskirk didn't do much and Yeates played some wayward crosses and corner kicks when he came on. Enough to convince me it was a good decision to let them go to create room for new players.

  2. Main chases everything so he's a terrific defensive asset in my opinion, in addition to the quality he brings in terms of his power and long distance shooting. He helps us defend from the front.

     

    Holloway's hold-up play is also fantastic and this is helping the players around him get chances. It's also helping us retain possession and take pressure off the defense.

     

    The goals will come for both of them I think, but I wouldn't judge those two on goals alone because of the other qualities they bring.

  3. Did we really see a team that was treating that like a cup final in the first half last night? No tempo, urgency or endeavour from anyone other than the front two.

     

    It's safe to say that if we start as poorly as that on Saturday that we will be a couple down by halftime.

    We saw a side struggling under the weight and pressure of the occasion. I thought every player tried their best. I felt too many players were over-thinking every pass because of nerves. The time Mike Jones tried to take on their defenders when a cross was the best option is an example from last night.

  4. By not announcing it meant that Shrewsbury would have got a surprise when he turned up with us, and they did. Worked a treat and they would have chucked their scouting notes out of the window with a different type of centre half in the opposition back 4 than what they prepared for.

     

    Genius move from shez!

     

    The Shrews must have parped their pants when he rocked up in the tunnel. Great move by Sheridan.

     

    Do we think he's got the potential to be our new Gregan? Nice to have a leader that the fans can get excited about!
