LJ POST BLACKPOOL



With the play offs still not secured, Lee Johnson knows his players need to get their act together against Plymouth on Saturday.


SULKING

“I’ve genuinely got total belief that we can peak at the right time and individuals can bring their A game. We can’t have people sulking and feeling sorry for themselves, including me. Let’s be honest, the opportunity is there. When I was standing on the touchline in that first game, and we were 11th, I’d have probably taken the position we’re in now. We’ve been going so well, so no wins from seven isn’t nice to hear, let me tell you. But at the same time, within those seven games, there have been some good performances. It’s my job to start earning my money now, and bring a bit of special motivation to get the boys going.”


POOR

“The first half was fairly even. Both sides almost cancelled each other and I thought it looked like a leggy game, there wasn't enough spark from either side. Second half, it opened up a bit as it always would, but you haven't got the crowd to sharpen you up and I felt it was a day when we missed the crowd a lot, in a game like after that. I thought after they scored, which was a fantastic strike and largely against the run of play because Burgey (Lee Burge) hasn't had a lot to do, I thought we were poor for a spell. We felt a bit sorry for ourselves until the last ten or 15, but then we had a go and created a few chances.”


BIG CHALLENGE

“It's my challenge now, I think my second big challenge really since I came to the club, to retain some positivity and find that bit of magic. I’ve got to get the boys going."
