We did well against Steve Bruce's Blackpool. Top manager. Great to keep yet another clean sheet, top of league one at end of 2024 with games in hand. The future is very bright. Just one year ago and things were desperate.
They're doing more than that! They're taking the Michael Johnson and the Michael Morrison, and when they couldn't think of anymore Michaels, they took the Maik Taylor, Mikel San Jose, and Mikael Forssell for good measure! 😂 Complete snoozefest in terms of our attacking movement. Other than Hanssons shot we did virtually nothing but accrue injuries for the first 60 mins.
As nil nils go, I thought it was a decent enough game. Blues forced a good save from the Pool keeper, and One cleared off the line. Blackpool hit the post, and should have done better with some other opportunities they created. I've certainly seen a lot worse games than that.
Davies clearly doesn't trust him. He's very raw, but a very exciting young talent. He's pacey and direct, and that game was crying out for a player like him. Harris isn't a wide man. But for whatever reason, he obviously prefers Harris over Yokoyama, even if that means playing Harris out of position. What didn't help was having to make 3 substitutions because of injuries. I really hope that Buchanan will have a full and speedy recovery from what is clearly a horrible and very serious injury. Yokoyama should've been put on instead of Harris. With Davies putting Harris on instead, you just knew that we were not going to see Yokoyama get put on. The squad is being tested, but putting square pegs and round holes wasn't necessary. It can't be good for players' confidence, especially when the crowd get on their backs. Davies has to accept responsibility for not getting things right at times. KRO 💙
@ethnic_on_a_technic It's a numbers game; who was and wasn't available. With no Wright, no Anderson, it left a space. I think Chris Davies and it's just my opinion of course, thinks that Harris would do a better job defensively. I and the like so many other fans would much rather have seen the attacking intent that Yokoyama shows in his game and has delighted and delivered some exciting wing play and end product. Of course, it hasn't always come off, but it won't always. He clearly sees Yokoyama as a player who needs to develop. The frustrating thing is that Yokoyama is our player, and Harris is in on loan. Harris is at the club as part of his own personal development. That's why Fulham has sent him out on loan. However, at present it's a loan move that doesn't really seem to be working particularly well, in my humble opinion for Blues or indeed Harris. KRO 💙
@ethnic_on_a_technic I rate Yokoyama. I would've put him on. I want to see him be given more of a chance. But I don't pick the team. I can't answer for what Chris Davies decides to do. Only he can answer that. But on the basis of what we're seeing, he preferred to put Harris on over Yokoyama who is a recognised winger. KRO 💙
Well it was entertaining for us Blackpool fans! 😊 An even game but we could have easily nicked all 3 points there with a fraction of the budget spent on our squad. Maybe we were underestimated. Clearly your squad will be favourites to go up though, you're on a great run. 😊
Other than the last 20 or so minutes we just couldn't get anything decent in the final third, where as our defenders were asleep and gave you golden opportunities out of random hoofs up the pitch. Honestly feel bad for you lot, as your performances should have you higher up the table than you are.
KRO top of the league with games in hand, unbeaten in 9 (all comps)! Ok wasn’t a great spectacle today but we’re halfway through a successful mission. With almost a whole team of new players CD is doing a fantastic job
I think we’re doing really well. Just look at the results around us. Burton take a point at Huddersfield. Charlton (who are a good team in this division) beat Wycombe. And Blackpool have had some great results on the road. By definition Bruce knows how to manage a football team. Davies can’t touch him for experience. I think people should be realistic. Blues have done very well so far KRO
Id quite like to see us try a 4-1-4-1, well before we lee and emil yesterday anyway. I had a disargreement a few months ago with someone saying Davies is better then Bielik at the back but they were right. Hes adapted to RB ok we looked so weak at CB yesterday. I think bielik would do amazing in the CDM role and playing 4 in midfield would give paik and iwata more support. They just get nullified when teams crowd the midfield
Manager needs to fix up didn’t learn sweet fa from Exeter & Mansfield etc … keep ur players in THEIR positions … use ur subs when it’s their position ffs
We`ve got to take into consideration the 3 injuries from yesterday which changed the shape of the managers game plan, then there was the bad referring, but with the players we have we should be creating more chances and putting teams like this away. Another few tough days to come I fear but onwards and upwards, well we cant really go any further up can we. KRO
Just watching the highlights shows it was a point that we previously wouldn’t of got. Difficult to get motivated after the injury early on. We can’t win every game! KRO 💪🏼 FEA

Entertaining battle? Are you taking the Michael?

Tbf more entertaining than some of the questions the players get asked post game 😂
On we go. Buzzing for how well we’ve done so far
Williamson has to go for goal in that position. Not vaguely head it down hoping Stanno will be there.
Highlights from the last two games have been a nightmare watch and with a quick turnover of games their won’t be much work done on the training pitch
When are we using Yokoyama?
Davies clearly doesn't trust him. He's very raw, but a very exciting young talent. He's pacey and direct, and that game was crying out for a player like him. Harris isn't a wide man.

@@RICHP1979if he doesn’t trust why have him in bench …. Absolute joke

@ if yoko not good enough why have him on bench esp. when the call came for a LW ?

Ref was abysmal, fell for every single one of their dives.
I'd like a winger in January really misses keshi and when hannson went of we lacked it harris can't play wide
He wouldn’t play them anyway
@robbiemichaels2347 Beat me to it! Possession above all, bore fest football. Do not attack at all costs, do not lose the ball, do not pass go.

KRO boys, job half done! Keep it up in 2025
Entertaining 😂😂😂
Lots of possession, but not doing much with it.
Id quite like to see us try a 4-1-4-1, well before we lee and emil yesterday anyway.

Blackpool had some chances to bury that first half
Los delanteros del Blackpool no estuvieron finos en la definición sino ganaban este juego.
Entertaining…
Entertaining where 🤣🤣🤣
Got lucky there blackpool could of took that
Manager needs to fix up didn’t learn sweet fa from Exeter & Mansfield etc … keep ur players in THEIR positions … use ur subs when it’s their position ffs
Come on you blue boys, keep right on.
Please dont start with Lyndon Dykes again.
We should’ve lost, too much possession football creating very few chances. Reminds me of watching England under Southgate, boring.

Underwhelming Yes..
Hope Lee is ok,looked nasty.That red was actually a joke tho
What red? Nobody got sent off 😵💫
@ I meant ref my bad
KRO
KRO Noel I’m subbed to you 👍
@ cheers
No problem your a good TH-camr💙
Snoresville
Why is Williamson as our tallest player the one taking corner kicks?
@qualitycroissant8527 cuz he can’t head the ball. Guy try’s to take it down with his feet with a 5’8 man on him.
So true
Set pieces n corners r shocking … never thought I’d say i miss myoshi n bacuna
❤ 🔵 👍 💙 KEEP RIGHT ON .....😊 🎆🎇 JANUARY NEW PLAYERS PLEASE 🙏 K.R.O....
We are so boring..hard watch
