Dyche: 'We didn’t have enough who really wanted to make a difference' (From St Albans & Harpenden Review)

On a positive note. The yellow and Red Lion was packed with enthusiastic 'Horns' .
Could do with a few more bar staff but should do very well.

At least now we can forget about the play-offs and concentrate on playing good football. Let's face it, we are not a Premier League team and need strengthening all over the field to even challenge in the Championship next season.

At least Dyche is honest..some previous managers would have blamed anyone but himself and the team.

sack dyche....sack the board..baz must have brought a car....the pub was too busy....cmon lets hear you all ?? i must say ref was awful today but we just didnt perform.

Sean as always very honest would have been very easy to have blamed the Referee today he was very very poor 17-4 fouls in there favour ???

Sack Dyche, Sack Bas, close the pub, beat the Dog, hit the bottle,
but only but, all is forgiven if we can stuff that horrid fat Jock de Taf
Baa, Im bleating over my lost sheep

Outclassed and Outplayed by a Blackpool team who were very good and thoroughly deserved the points.

They were also excellent at pushing in the back and some deserved an oscar for their writhing. Maybe Holloway should have been sent to the stands for his histrionics but with the referee that was always unlikely.

Turning to WFC Hogg was lucky to stay on but the truth was the players with the exception of Tamas did not turn up, chris did his best but always uphill and I guess too many holidays had been booked in early May by the golden boys.

Don't think we should sack anybody but maybe our two full backs and Yeates should be squad players next year and Deeney train with Britt to learn how to shoot powerfully.

Sorry was not at the game due to work commitments , but it does not surprise me to hear that with the return of Yeates and Forsyth and the like and we play a stinker !! go figure ! . dont like to put down individuals and I am sure they are nice guys and give 65% but please move them on to kenilworth road and do us all a favor . Now go and make me look a proper mug and beat the sheep fanciers and jock macsnot .

Mctosh were coming to get you! Blame what day you play, blame the officials but dont mess with the Dyche!

Forsyth didnt play or on the bench more the pity..release yeats now as he is worthless.

very poor today,their keeper had a quiet game today.both teams were playing long ball but blackpool had 2 excellent wide players,were as we didnt.we should have tried to play in the middle and on the floor for murray because we were never gonna beat there 2 center halves today with long endless punts upfield allday.should have been a lot of space for eustace and hogg to utilise but we never played to counter blackpools tactics.fair play to blackpool for playing an attacking formation with the 2 wide players,but we should have bossed it from the start.unfortunately we had yeates and dickinson who werent at the races today.deeney huffed and puffed,big chris was just trying to win things in the air to no avail.sean murray couldnt get into the game either.we should have played garner and tried to play a little football on the floor.its been an excellent march though to ensure safety,we should try to consolidate a healthy 10 to 12th position and see where we go next season.tbh i think we have massively overachieved this season anyway.not many supporters would have had us down for a late surge for the playoffs.fair play to sean dyche and all the backroom staff.bring on next season.

Unfortunately when Iwelumo is up front no matter how well he plays we tend to lump long balls in his general direction. Referees then give all decisions against him just because he is big so he must be the culprit. Some of the free kicks given against him today were laughable.

Big Chris only brought in to save money on changing flodlight bulbs. To be fair no lights out and 4 goals a reasonable return for a great fella who unfortunately is blessed with pace akin to geological time. Dyche has done well in his firstseason - iw ill be happy if weget more than 61 points. Lets hope the summer recruitment is a big improvement on last year - Mirfin; Yeates; Dickinson; Forsyth; Iwelumo would not be missed as first 11 choices

We didn't turn up - simple as that! We know that to beat a top side we have to be on the top of out form and effort and they have to be below par (eg Leeds, S'hampton). CI is now fit and moving really well in fcat some of the positions he got into in split seconds were first class but with no one to cross the ball what's the point.
Questions: Why when we have two big guys in the middle do we take short corners? they are free crosses. When we are getting beaten with 15 mins to go why doesn't Taylor come up for corners? What does Yeates practice because it certainly isnt corners?
We have a great crosser of the ball in Hodson. Where is he now? SD has done a great job and I want to hear us singing "Malky Malky what's the score?"on Monday and get to 62 points + and finish above Cardiff. Sweet justice against Jock McMoan

Sadly, Andrew1963 is right. Some of last year's recruitments were not good. Mirfin and Yeates should be released now; Dickinson and Forsyth are luxuries as they only merit squad status; Iwelumo? He has played well recently but he unbalances the team in that all the players can think about is to hoof the ball, in the air, to him. I'd keep him, if we can afford it, as a substitute to bring on against small defenders!

God Feff I'm finding another post I agree with you on!
But perspective is great thing when you can actually deploy it!
Beating Fattys lot will give me perspective in spades! Lose, and I'm on a rile a clapper mission!

Isn't it typical that all the negative w@nkers come out of the woodwork when we lose a game.Call yourself's supporters,if any of you had a brain cell you would not have enough dynamite to blow yourself's up with.Lets release most of the squad,and how Big Chris is singled out is beyond me.Fossie wasn't even on the bench but is somehow mentioned.I would be suprised if you could actually name the 11 that played,or even remember that releasing all these players somehow have to be replaced by players that cost very little and want little in wages but somehow have to perform like messi every week.To be where we are in Sean's 1st season is an outstanding achievement,and if you were supporters then you would support the players rather than whinge and moan.

And you are a pompous ****
So every post has to agree with yours or you write posts that abuse people of being 'Tommy Tankers'?
Little wages? 3-5k is not insignificant, but you are.

To the other posters April 28th Bas's Boozer 130 onwards. All Tommy Tankers welcome

I think the loss to Blackpool was completely Loach's fault ...

So do I , he got into Kuszczak head!

Personally I think most of the posters on these boards are wrong about Forsyth - all things considered I think that he has done well this season. Young lad making the transition from Scottish Div 1 to Championship football will need time to adjust. Don Cowie used to be criticised by all and sundry until fans realised that we lost when he was not in the side. I expect Forsyth to improve markedly next season and be a valuable member of the squad.

Dychie has done a great job with what is available to him and we have certainly achieved a lot higher finish than most of us would have hoped for. But if a player is poor and continually lets the team down eg(loach and yeates)then surely we are entitled to have an honest opinion.These players indeed should be moved on and then its the managements job to find better replacements.This is how football works Tony ! if we did it your way we would still be playing Dominic Blizzard and scott Fitzgerald to name a few.
So get real and quit the insults and abuse or I will set Uncle Buck on you !!

Since we were tipped and odds on for relegation then 4th from bottom would have been our aim to upset the bookies,we have exceeded that by a country mile,and what supporters should remember it's a team and squad game,and everyone at some point during the season has contributed to where we are.Fossie is considered to be one for the future,same as Whicholow, massey and Brit.Sean Murray looked Knackered,as did most of the squad due to putting in high performances over the last few months.It is ok moving players on only if we have replacements that are better than them coming to the Vic,and at the moment I doubt it.
Lutondown adds nothing to these boards worth reading except trying to be a comedian and some sort of poet.

Dyche's transfer targets are dependant on what wages he can pay and what the player wants,and the transfer fee,which is not a lot compared to most of the teams in this division.So he has to go for loans or players that maybe can be developed.I would be very suprised if we sign any one next season any better than we have.

Yes the ball was in the air a lot of the time. The ref was poor but we were beaten by a better team, not the ref. One player I think needs to improve is Tiny Taylor. Yes he has given us good solid service and very good as a stopper centre half but his distribution is awful, kick or head it anywhere. Compare him with Noseworthy who is much more composed on the ball and looks up to see where to play. Good luck to all for this afternoon.

I see today that of the summer recruits only Dickinson in starting 11.
