Please post anything to do with the upcoming tough match with Blackpool in this thread please. Any other thread on the subject will be merged into this thread.
the team selection for this will be interesting .Expecting the lads to be tired last night but they performed to the highest standard yet again.I think we could have gone up a gear as well. I would rest a few players and bring big john back and give a few players some much needed playing time such as Whitehead,Faye,Pugh as they maybe needed on may 14th. Fingers crossed about Matty that he will be ok.
I'd rest Rory, Kenwyne and Huth for Whitehead, Carew and Faye or Collins. We're pretty much safe now so i'm hoping we rest one or two.
The league is our bread & butter, plus isn't every place worth ã750,000-ã800,000, we are in 9th, fall to 16th we lose over ã5 million. That guys is signing a ã2-3 million Back-up player(better than we have now), on a ã20-30k 2-3 year deal. Money talks these days i'm afraid
Will be interesting aye, defo think Deano should come in for Rory, he's been playing well, but I think he's due a rest. Not sure about who will be LM though, could go for Wilson (or have him right and Pennant left) or Pugh, Walters?
Well we all know Tony, after that debacle over Christmas,when we were totally outplayed on our patch, i really feel that TP will be gunning for revenge. OK Holloway is one of his best pals in footy, But the abject display v Blackpool in December will give TP the desire too extract revenge. The guy just hates too be beaten, even if it means, sending his best mates team into the relegation zone. That is why i fancy us to win on Saturday. 2-0 to the Potters
UNTIL we are certs too stay up and now with Etheirington almost a cert too miss Wembley. I say, we go for it on Saturday. Rory has surprised me playing really well. But, I would rest him and maybe Walter's. Give Pugh, and Carew a game as said above. We NEED all the squad for Wembley but the LEAGUE is the MAIN thing for now. We might be safish and after this weekend I hope we will be cos our goad diff is way better than anyone below us. Just go for the win. Blackpool ran us ragged at home well done too them. However, the pressure is now so massive for them I say, attack with the best we have available. Would take a pt as with the Villa game. I really hope Pool stay up and the Shammers too go down instead. I think Wolves are doomed as for the others who go, anyone's guess.
Potts, I am still praying that Ethers will return fit for the final. Fingers crossed for 3 points today.
Hey up Lads Lets go for them, lets get the win every place counts for big money, which will help ease the burden on MR COATS pocket, plus as we will playing Europa football next season , the extra money for places gained will help when signing new players and we will be signing new players
The side is: Begovic Wilkinson-Shawcross-Huth-Wilson Pennant-Whelan-Whitehead-Delap Jones-Walters Substitutes Sorensen, Collins, Faye, Shotton, Pugh, Diao, Carew
