Bad. Very easy to blame Bowyer, and he's definitely not coming out of this season with much credit, but some of these players are getting away with not doing even the most basic aspects of their jobs. No crowd on their backs and knowing the manager will get the boot before they do I imagine it's easy to stop bothering. You can set up however you like, but if your CB gives away a pen after 9 minutes you're always going to struggle to get a foothold on a game especially when confidence is already low. When Purrington is your best player purely because he always tries and puts in a steady performance it says a lot about what the other players are bothering to turn up with. I'm far angrier with them than anything else. Most of them won't be here next season and I don't think I'll be too upset about that
Perhaps have a think at why players don't look like they are performing. Could be something to do with the constant changes of formation, and the clear lack of any plan.
DJ has gone from terrorising us to looking likes he barely played football before. Shinnie at the beginning of the season couldn't put a foot wrong, Millar looked dangerous every time he got the ball. Maatsen has gone backwards. Gunter and Watson 'men' as Bowyer would call them who have come from very decent championship pedigree now look shocking.
Why do you think all these players have regressed?
Just seen the goals, that second is embarrassing. I would have done my nut at the defenders of the Bromley and Orpington 7th division team I used to play for for that kind of defending.
STOP APOLOGISING FOR BOWYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!not all our players are shit, it’s not possible.BOWYER ISNT HAVING A POSITIVE EFFECT UPON OUR TEAM, bowyer apologists are you getting it!!!. NO DIRECTION, no pattern of play, no idea.
Great managing that, can't even be bothered to give a team-talk?
In his defense he is probably just trying to gain some composure. Imagine being as good as him at football and then you watch people that bad and they can't do the basics.
I don't want to see any of them here next season unless their names are Stockley, Famewo, Millar, Aneke or Forster-Caskey, maybe Purrington and Oshi as bit parts
The defender in the middle played him on but as his momentum was moving out and Stockers was goalwards it looked more clear cut for the lino (even though he was wrong).
It wouldn't have amde any difference if it had been given, Blackpool would have re-taken the lead within five minutes.
Absolutely dreadful.
As much as we can blame Bowyer for this, the players should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves and should refund everyones' streaming fees as compensation.

Next season might be a different story if Bows is still in charge though
our midfield is non existent. Pratley clearly too old now (was evident last season).

The rest can kick rocks, all a disgrace
