He's right in that we're not performing anywhere as well as the potential in the team.
Player for player, they're a lot better than last year's batch but are simply not delivering.
Probably it comes down to the intangibles such as confidence, and how you turn that round is anyone's guess. |  | | |

Wiz from what I've seen we simply don't have the 1-11 players. We are missing a 2,5,4,7,10 and maybe a 9 too.
I agree that the players are better in theory but take the central striker, here we have 4 players for that one position and invariably accommodate 2of the remaining 3 out of position. Put simply we do not have a balance to the team. | |

Dear,
I agree with you that the fans, all of them, are more interested in what the players do on the pitch than on what they can say or write. We are not different in Barcelona.
But at the same time, I think it is interesting to find out about certain things that are going on in the clubs and that normally don't come out. Of course they could be more, but I believe that the anecdotes that Andrea explains, like when they got locked in the changing room, or when they arrived to Craven Cottage just 50 minutes before the game or the fact that they used to eat pizzas after the games are interesting. We are talking about personal things that some fans might be interested in. I, for example, would love to know about things that are going on in Barca's dressing room...
However, what really surprises me in Andrea's blog is the fact that he talks about you, the fans, week in week out. I guess maybe you don't value that because this is something normal for you but to us, this faithfullness that the english fans show to their clubs is something that we admire.
On Wednesday, coming back from London, Andrea text me to tell me how many Blackpool fans were there in Fulham and he was still shocked to see that, in an away midweek game far from Blackpool. This is something that surprises us and we really admire here in Barcelona.
I understand that in the situation that the club is, you are more interested in having Andrea, Ranger, Miller or Perkins talking on the pitch instead but I believe that it is also interesting to read about what these players think and how they live the current situation.
Those who know Andrea can assure you that he is really struggling. He finds very hard having to write about what is going on in the current situation but he wants to maintain his commitment to the fans and to us. We get his article on Sunday evening, send it to one of our editors, Alfons, who lived in Lancashire for many years and he translates it so it is ready on Monday morning. It is something that we look forward to read every week and we do with the best of our intentions.
And we are sorry to see Blackpool in this situation. Not as sorry as you are, of course, but believe me if I say that we want the best for Blackpool FC | | | |

That's a very fair reply to some overharsh critcism! Thanks for having the courtesy to come on the board! | |

AM14 - Orlandi seems keen to engage with fans - if we start a new thread called Questions for Orlandi and get users to post on it, do you think he would answer some of them for us? | | | |

Wiz,
how many games and managers do we need before it's decided that we ARE playing as well as the individuals and teams suggest? The team isn't close to being good enough as there are too many players who are playing above the level their ability dictates. Even Lewis and Daniels - 2 players who have generally looked reasonable - have made errors to give away goals several times now. Saying something time and again doesn't make it so. |  |
| We got Bogdanovic, Oyston got very rich |

Don't disagree with you, but they could be better than they are.
They show flashes of it, like the first half at Fulham, and it's frustrating when it never happens for 90 minutes. | | | |

We could have been better than we are all season but the fact is unless we bring in a competent left back to stop leaking all these goals down that side then we won't progress. | |
