I don't get on many games nowadays due to no longer living in the county, but managed to get over last night.

I wasn't expecting very much, but from highlights I'd seen and discussion on here, I thought I'd see a really battling performance from a team filled with belief and a desire to survive in the league.

As it transpired I saw a team that ran around a lot, but lacked many of the basics needed to be even slightly effective. I can honestly say that at the end of the evening I had no idea what was going on. The players worked hard physically, but they seemed to have no idea what it was they were supposed to be doing. That has to be down to the leadership behind the team.

I was telling a Blackpool fan in work about last night and he said it was exactly the same when they had Colin Hendry in charge. Lots of effort, but no real idea of how to organise tactics or organise themselves. As soon as Simon Grayson took over it changed instantly. No change of staff, just a change of leadership.

I feel a real sadness in what's happening and totally frustrated that there's a powerlessness to do anything about it. Shame really.
