Blackpool FC

[Johnap]

Lets think now - eerrmm - got it!

Things went wrong with the appointment of the mercurial and fantastically inept Paul Ince.

I move the motion.

Seconder anyone?

Unreal. On Saturday November 30th, after a 2-0 win Sheff Wed, Blackpool sat comfortably in the playoff positions with a league record of P17 W8 D7 L2.

Fast forward 3 and a half months and their last 17 games they have won 0, drawn 4 and lost 13 - an alarming slump, has there ever been such a contrasting set of results?

Just 6 points off the relegation zone, and all 3 in those bottom slots have at least 1 game in hand, and results certainly didn't go their way today. I like Blackpool, would be a shame if they dropped.

In our 95-96 championship season when we finished champs, Millwall were relegated after been top in early December, till we beat them 6-0

Mick McCarthy got the Eire job not long after, which him leaving appeared to be a major factor

Except they didn't because Ince was responsible for the excellent start to the season.

ince was the man who managed them in their first 17 games mind. I was asking how it went so wrong from that point.

 

[Le Chuck]

Aye, but I am a worrier

I don't think you can compare ourselves to Blackpool who've had 1 season in the topflight in 40 years.
Of course there's Wolves, Sheff Utd, & the other teams who've had financial problems & not recovered.
But, I honestly believe as long as Poyet sticks around we'll finish in the top 4 easily. Either going up or just missing out on the play offs (as usual)

Did Russell get 4 in that game, they went on a really shit run after we thumped them

[knitting away]

Well Ince's magic finally got through to the players...

The chairman has made some terrible appointments in Appleton and Ince.

 

[Maravilla]

Except they didn't because Ince was responsible for the excellent start to the season.

To be fair they were in total freefall when they sacked him.

 

[ChrisAshley]

Even Chopra hasn't scored for them.

Just reading their forum and he seems to be well thought of

im 20 stone, i have collapsed arches, achilles tendon problems, hereditary knee problems, bent leg bones, a perminent back problem, a problem where my body overheats its self amongst othr problems, and im 32. and i could still outrun chopra when i hobble

 

[The Bridge Lad]

[SAFCftm1986]

Craig Revell-Horwood?

Wears number SEVEN IIRC

 

[joemcdokes]

Millwall were top, we beat them 6-0, we went up as Champions they got relegated.
December 9th 1995.

Craig Russell got 4.

I was there. One of those rare occasions where I forgot how many we had scored while the game was being played.
