  Well, sat at Preston Station. That started promising, went bad, went really bad and then fizzled out, probably for the best. Team seemed much more eager to put the ball forwards quickly than the last away games, which did not suit Ballard. Soft penalty, rightly given. Soft header for second. Very soft third, don't stop! Early (soft) fourth put game beyond us.

  Another spanking at Blackpool, really starting to dislike that place. We capitulated after the penalty which was needless to give, we didn't mark anyone for the other 3 goals. Rhodes took his 3rd goal well and showed us how to finish. Our unstoppable away form continues.

  Well done to those who travelled.

  Well done to those who travelled. It was depressing enough

  Selles out

  I think everyone's still in Blackpool and with the stuff there and fans drowning their sorrows after another hammering I'm not surprised. Seriously though we've endured so much pain on the road, if it wasn't for the fact we have a new set of players then scenes like when Selles and the players came over at FT would be a lot more toxic than it was yesterday. If this was Leeds or Millwall there'd be proper uproar. We have to improve and quickly. Even if we change it and put 10 men behind the ball and try to keep clean sheets, a few 0-0s would be an improvement on current form. Boring yes but the longer this goes on more questions…

  Travelling back down today and upon reflection this is going to be the way it is with this young team. We virtually have an U23 team playing in a tough league one. We’re lacking a bit of decent experience in midfield in my opinion. Someone like Hourihane, but ideally a couple of years younger. I don’t see any natural leaders like a Parky or Sidwell. We desperately need someone who can help out the youngsters and I am afraid Hutch isn’t the answer. He has the odd good game, but he’s a liability a lot of the time. I would give Craig a chance, although again he’s very young. Hopefully, we can get enough points to survive and I think…
