Is Warburton still available? on 22:07 - Aug 16 with 4850 views | Beckenhamhoop | I don’t think the issue was the Defence at all. We looked like a team completely devoid of ideas. We struggled to get the ball forward with any pace unlike Blackpool. I couldn’t see any evidence that we were playing to a style or system which I’m shocked at bearing in mind Beale’s reputation as a great coach. Roberts combined well with Laird a few times and Armstrong did well when he came on other than that it was a very concerning performance. Paal looked bang average. Johansen’s position in the starting team must increasingly be in question. And what I think of Dykes is not printable. This team messes with my head. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Sorry but our defence was an issue. Not the only issue but an issue nonetheless. It looked a little disjointed (like much of the team) and Blackpool had a lot of joy down the flanks in the first half, particularly on Paal's side. Conversely Blackpool were very well organised and their defence was rock solid. I agree that Johansen was poor. If Richards were fit his place in the team would be in jeopardy. As for Dykes, the situation where he thought he was offside was unforgivable. Put the ball in the back of the net and let the referee do his job. As for Warburton, the defence were a mess under his stewardship, conceding over 70 goals in a season. Beale needs a sporting chance to get players fit and work with the team to eradicate its defensive deficiencies. | ![](/images/avatars/18320.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I agree We were getting overloaded down our left numerous times. Blackpool played to the one strength in their team;Bowler. That’s not an issue with our Defence that’s an issue with coaching and a team adapting to what’s going on on the pitch. You can’t blame the back four for an issue down one flank. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

It's an issue with both the midfield (which has been underwhelming for some time) and the defence (which lacks the wherewithal to read play and adapt to transitions). For Blackpool's goal the defence were all over the place. Too many players tried to rush Bowler at once which meant that when the ball rebounded, Bowler had space to pick his spot. That being said, for me the key weaknesses IMHO are central midfield and the lack of a genuine goal scorer. With full backs pushing on it's important our midfield have the ability to break the lines. When possession is lost cheaply and full backs are pushed on the defence is then vulnerable to the counter attack. There were quite a few times tonight it was desperately back peddling. Unfortunately at the end of the first half it was one time too many. | ![](/images/avatars/18320.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

soon as we did get in there faces the balckpool back four looked sunday league , issue is we didnt do it as much as we could have dykes was on his own no amos closing space down, chair to deep johanson to deep they made errors we didnt capitlise on and it cost us , thought blakcpool were pretty average to be honest if willock had played we would have more space to exploit and hopefully score from. | ![](/images/avatars/1321.gif) |

I think Paal, just back from injury and took a knock in the first half, really struggled to play against a left footer who always wants to come inside. I said at ht it might be better to bring on right footed Kakay to mark Bowler. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

TBPH I don't understand your point as we were talking about the defence when Bowler scored. I reiterate; when 5 defenders are desperately rushing 1 player at the same time; that's a lack of organisation and communication. Dykes' job is to score goals. He had 3 decent chances and fluffed them all. But that's another story. I wouldn't be surprised to see Roberts drafted in on Saturday. | ![](/images/avatars/18320.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

To put in context, you could also argue Sinclair's job is to score goals and he had 3 decent chances and fluffed them all. Obviously raw pace excites the fans as with BOS but like all, hope Sinclair has more end product than BOS who was erratic 90 percent of the time. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
