    That result showed our inadequacies for all they are worth. We bring back the top scorer in the league and create jack frigging sh!t for him. Yet Swindon don't seem to have trouble finding the net. Sick to death of watching the same boring shite week in week out. If i was Doyle i'd be pleading with Power to open the purse strings to bring him back, what sort of striker wants to slog their guts out every week with little to no chance of scoring. We've already ruined Vaughan.

    Because our manager has no idea how to coach attacking football. I genuinely believe he hasn't a clue.

    I only mentioned the lad because someone posted we need a nasty piece of work in the center of midfield, I remember the game at Bolton when he kick the shit out of Cullen and Parkinson said Cullen made a meal of every tackle.

    Wake up and smell the coffee, it’s not about the defeat today, it’s about the consistent poor performances and draws away from home we should be winning.
    Did you see Plymouth battered Carlisle today, a 400 mile trip. Remind me how we struggled to a 0-0 draw up there.

    Enough is enough.

    That’s it for me, Bowyer did nothing to arrest the slide out of league One and has underperformed this season with the resources at his disposal having been backed to the hilt.

    Time to go Bowyer, and take your awful brand of football with you.

    Bowyer's post match interview sounds like an impression of Leonard Cohen

    Now we need big men up front and nasty buggers in midfield :p

    If we consulted fans on what we need, we would have the biggest squad of all time.

    There first goal was a joke our two central defender both challenging for the same ball allowing the lad to get a shot away, having said that the lad hit it firmly.
    Today can't even be written off as a bad day at the office because we've seen similar and got away with it.

    It's difficult to knock him too much when he had us in 4th spot with his safety first approach. I do think that position has flattered us however and I really don't believe that his usual approach will see us in the playoffs come the end of the season. We do need a more attacking approach since it's goals which win games. As I've said above, the way in which Doyle needs to be the serviced in order to be a regular goalscorer isn't helped by GB's safety first approach and that's a real dilemma for the club.

    You're asking the team to suddenly complete change the on field philosophy at the drop of a hat after being in a defensive mindset all season. Not one of our victories or draws has come off the back of free flowing attacking football bar possibly Swindon and first half against Salford. I thought Doyle coming back would pose problems for Bowyer and it has. He has no idea how to get the best out of his strikers, Vaughan looks fed up. We're in the play offs but not by any virtue of attacking football.

    Sad I know but I was on the Blackpool forum to see if Scanz was tearing up league 1 and soon found myself reading about Spearing. A player who definitely divides opinion. Our own fans on the other hand have seen him play maybe a handful of times if that and make out like he’s the best thing since sliced bread...

    I posted to the same affect Mallorca - but what worries me even more is I just hope the plans to strengthen the team where it is absolutely necessary (which we were told was all being planned back in November) have not been hijacked by all the Doyle drama. Make no mistake today was abysmal and action is needed asap - GB said he needed 2 to 3 windows to get the team/squad he wants and this non performance just highlights the point. It is not just do we have Doyle or dont we that needs addressing. What we currently have is a 'scraping into the play offs' team at best - and this probably includes the manager! Very pissed off, and I only had a short journey today so really feel for those who have 5 hours to do :*@

    Can't blame Doyle or Vaughan today.

    Bowyer! Negative football.

    Wonder where the stat quoters are tonight? I don't no stats to tell you this team is struggling, all this bollox about being unbeaten. i watch this crap every week with my own eyes, its painful. Today a lowly league 2 club completely outplayed us because our manager is tactically inept. I'd like to know just how much say he has had into Doyle coming back because its made us play worse. And thats of no fault of Doyle.

    Well he should have been shown the door a long time ago. Just heard Bowyer. He is ill, so he must have been missing most of the week and certainly not up to take training. No excuse though.

    Yes you can only pass comment on what you seen of the player, the away game at Bolton suggested to me Parkinson had told him make sure Cullen knows he's been in a game.
