    I'd have Kimpioka on the bench without a doubt, Morgan and Watmore out wide, we are SO slow, the Oxford winger looked like Mbappe,tortured us, an injection of pace is what we need , move the ball up quicker and we will be fine.

    Jack Diamond scored a hat-trick tonight, he looks a good prospect too.
    Pace is a good weapon to have. I don't think we're that far from finding the right balance. We also need to press the opposition like we were earlier in the season.

    I would go with two up as well and throw the kitchen sink at them from the off get the ball forward quickly, the crowd roused, and batter them.

    A first half hour like the Scunthorpe/ Barnsley games would do nicely...,
    Really important tomorrow night; not just for the 3 points but it’s imperative we keep the doom & gloom merchants at bay!!!

    I remember a Sunderland-Blackpool when I was a lad when we had to put up with constant niggles from them - until Joe Bolton got fed up and lamped one of their players. First red card I ever saw.

    There were constant chants of "Tangerine, tangerine bastards".

    Despite having a player sent off we went for it anyway and ended up winning 2-1 at the death :1980_boogie_down:

    I was at Oxford where our tactics and style of play managed to quieten a large enthusiastic following.

    We can't allow this to happen tonight otherwise the nerves will set in which is a viscous circle.

    There's enough skill and goals, in that team, to beat any team if we play football on the ground.

    That's where we're better than the likes of Blackpool, ffs use our advantages and get them spinning.

    3-0 and a few pints as I'm staying up for this one.

    We have to give it a real go and not sit back on a one goal lead, its far too dangerous.

    I hope hope the ref is not a c*** tonight mind ! Blackpool have won at Portsmouth, oops, so will be tricky but that team above should do the job and the weather is ok, 2-1 grigg and Mcgeady blackpool in the 90th minute most likely. I hope to see Sterling play. So Flannagan is back that is good news.

    Don’t think there’s any chance if 4-4-2. 3-5-2 maybe

    Looks like he's taken my advice about getting another attacking player on the pitch, in fact that's a hell of an attacking side. It'll be interesting to see if it works or if our defence gets shafted.
