Oh CVM, afte last weeks banter, the very least you must've been hoping for was to go through the whole season without losing by 5 or more, then the very next week you get smashed for 6.
6-0 this season against Blackpool, 7-1 last season against the mighty Posh, and 9-2 against us the season before against Norwich.
Here, a few more of these

That was definitely a misleading score line.
We (Blackpool) were very lucky to go in at half time 2 nil up. You had plenty of possession and if anything it was us doing more of the defending and attacking on the break. You just offered nothing in the final third of the field. On several occasions you had the ball well into our half but we managed to pressure you back up the field forcing you to pass back to your keeper ( the only times he got anywhere near the ball
)
When we got to 4-0 your heads did seem to drop, but we also seemed to take our foot of the gas when it went to 5-0, although we still managed to have a goal disallowed for a foul (almost identical to our 6th goal) and hit the post.
Everything we tried today resulted in a goal (6 goals from 11 shots) where as Tuesday we only managed 2 against Leeds from 20shots due to good goal keeping and some very poor shooting. You actually had a midfield that tried to play and put some pressure on us, where as Leeds offered nothing in midfield. If the 2 scores from our games against Leeds and you (2-1 and 6-0) were swapped around that would probably offer a better idea of the 2 games.

t. Defence was woeful.
Ainsley started ok but increasingly looked out of his depth. He was the cause if the second goal, he went walkabout without cover.
The first goal was a shambles. Four consecutive shots in target where no one pushed out.
Their game plan was the long ball. Thump it up the left wing, murphy nods it down inside and hopes that creswell picked it up. Worked a few times, murphy is a great target man, then Huddersfield just worked out to pick off the knock down.
Loach was brilliant a real asset. He made 4 superb saves in the second half including the ridiculous penalty awarded by a linesman who had fell on his arse.
The ref was really bad, lost control of the game and resorted to a level of pedantry this forum would have been proud of.
True, they picked up in the second half, and Taylor and chambers look promising.
My main concern was the lack of someone to lead the team, maybe Edwards will give that back. There was nobody in the team who could put his foot on the ball, assess the situation and distribute the ball. We just hammered the ball up the flanks and looked predictable.
Chopra lacked decent service.
Hopeful? Not really.
