    We're at that time in the season when the prospect of Championship football is a real possibility for some teams. Blackpool have to be in that category and I wondered if you Tangerines think a little less excitement and a few scrambled points should be the objective over the coming weeks. The media love to label teams (breath of fresh air etc) but surely the number one objective is to remain a Premiership club.
    Is it too big a risk to play such open and exciting football and therefore time to ditch it for this season and swallow a big dose of pragmatism?

    Gained a good point on Saturday and should be able to collect enough points to stay for at least another year. Holloway has said that he is changing the ethic of the team slightly and were unlucky to drop the two points.

    Good luck for the rest of the season Tangerines/Seasiders/Donkey-Lovers (which is your preferred nickname?), you really have been a breath of fresh air.

    <ok>

    Gutted 'pool lost to Wigan yesterday - Wigan bring nothing to the Prem, play to empty seats week in week out. No one would begrudge you doing a Stoke for a few weeks and play 'orrible footy to stay up (as long as you don't make a habit of it next year). Good luck for the rest of the season, apart from when you play us.

    Spot on, I hope they can stay up but with upcoming games against Newcastle, Stoke and Tottenham I cannot see where they will get 3 points from, my fingers are crossed for them.

    You mean securing another year in the premier league, reaching the FA cup final and most probably qualifying for europe? Yup no-one would begrudge you for doing a Stoke
