A bit disappointed that we let you get that last minute goal, although we were down to 10men at that point due to our best defender having gone of with a face/eye injury with about 6mins to go. We had managed to restrict you to long range shots that went straight at the keeper.
It could easily have been worse for you, in the last 10mins Baptiste put a header over the bar when unmarked at a corner and Ormerod failed to get the ball past your keeper when 1on1 with him.
You defence at times gave us so much space.
You were much better in the second half, not that would be very difficult, although we did sit back a lot more, giving your midfield time on the ball.

Trying to look on the bright side the team consisted entirly of new signings, many forign who wont be liking a st night match in blackpool but still no excuse.
I went to the Game last night and struggled not to walk out after 25 mins being 3-0 down and looking like a non-league team. managed to stay there until the fourth goal though then decided enough was enough.
I dont think Bobbys style of football is going to work as we dont have enough class in the team to make it work.
The game against wolves was possibly the worse i have ever seen us play in the premier league and i think we are seriously missing some link up between midfield and Hugo or Scotland.
Still early doors yet and so far thankfully no-one is calling for bobby to get the boot but time will tell.

Is Martinez up to the task?
Why do you want him back? Edited by SwanJack on Thursday 27th August 19:41
watched the game today. again not impressed. We were lucky to score. Everton were pounding us. But how could we not just hold on for 1 minute??!! Really annoys me, it always happens to us. Martinez is not the problem, it's the greedy lazy players. They really need to pull their socks up if they want to be playing premiership football next season.

Boyce and Edman looked like they had'nt played football before, 8 of the goal came on their side of the pitch, Martinez should of seen that Edman couldnt cope with Lennon and made some changes.
This.. Watched this as a pure neutral but that was obvious, should of done something about Lennon early on in the second half When spurs really came into their own. Devilstreak said:
