anything other than a loss and we will have done well in my opinion.

Winner of stating the obvious for 2022.

drawing or winning is usually considered to be better than a loss.

 

[Big Hitter]

Blackpool ain't no bleedin' obstacle. We should get win here. Matthews and Mortenson are not playing.
Our lads will crush them.

A side going for the play offs with three wins in a row and at home, suggests it may be more difficult than you think !!

Why so confrontational ? you muppet.

I could have said only 3 points is acceptable , so what you said makes no sense.

 

[sufcboy95]

Going to be a tough game with the injuries we have and the fact their in decent form at home.

A draw and a win against Barnsley would put us in decent shape going into international break, where hopefully some players will be back.

 

[Wards]

Would absolutely take a draw on the back of the shambles that was Saturday

 

[FredZeppelin]

Looking at Billy's interview this week I have a feeling the players know a serious reaction is required after Coventry. A few ego's seem to have been put very firmly in their place after the final whistle, there.
Very difficult game tonight but I'm going 2-1 Blades. Either way, we have to smash the inbreds at BDTBL on Saturday as well given all the respective run-in's of the teams challenging for a play-off place.

[Gaini Blade]

So, first time in Blackpool since the early 1980's. Truth be known, the years haven't been kind to either of us!

It was a joke. Hence the emoji's. Apologies if you have no sense of humour. Take a chill pill.

Yes its a bit sad . I remember when Blackpool had a really good side with the 2 M's , Shimwell ( one of ours ) Harry Johnston I think was skipper and Perry on left wing. In Cup final 48 and winners of course in 53 ( the so called Matthews final- when Mortensen scored 3 goals.!!) Did anybody else get a hat-trick in a home Cup final. I know Hurst got one in World Cup.

 

[Big Hitter]

Well- there are 12 sides at least within striking distance of play-offs- these are the ones we have to win.

 

[JJBlade]

I'm in the Craig Y Don Hotel
We'll see what happens I suppose

My bad mate , been a really stressful day.

 

[blade too long]

We need to PRESS PRESS PRESS

Im not keen on ironing

 

[Drunk blade]

Really hope mcburnie has recovered from his dead leg

 

[Silent Blade]

And Walter Rickett

 

[From the pig end]

I know we have injuries but we are shitting it against a side that might start with Madine up top on his own.

 

[Bell4]

I know we have injuries but we are shitting it against a side that might start with Madine up top on his own.

Think we are shitting it cos we might end up having a side that starts Mc Burnie up top on his own

 

[From the pig end]

I'm taking the piss but I'd genuinely swap McBurnie for Madine tonight.

 

[Bell4]

I`d swop McBurnie for an ounce of Pear drops

 

[jono_t2000]

Would take a draw away from home on this one. Just to steady the ship after Saturdays shambles.

 

[SUFC Handsworth]

Doesn't matter how they do it, can be the scrappiest point or three points ever, just make sure we don't lose tonight.

I'd go Lopata (sp) rather than the other young un if no one else is coming back fit tonight. Failing that a left field punt with McBurnie at centre half (no sniggering at the back). I remember Alan Young doing it in an emergency in the early 80s.

Defo have Ndiyi back in for Berge tonight, though after Saturday it's a toss up between him or MGW.

 

[From the pig end]

Hourihane, Berge and Norwood scare the shit out of me defensively.

I'd put Ndiaye in tonight, he's fresh and he might help out the midfield with his tracking back and press.

This guy knows

 

[Suomi_Blade]

Are the new youth on the bench today anygood?

 

[The Hecky Flecky Shake]

That bench.

 

[robbiez666]

Big ask on Berge and Norwood.

Bench is young.

 

[petcharlie]

Really hope mcburnie has recovered from his dead leg

I DON.T

 

[Davalon]

Down to bare bones now. Anything from tonight isn't to be sniffed at, especially considering number of games in short space of time.

 

[Headshrinker]

Surprised Gordon kept his place.

 

[BigBed]

I hope that bench shocks us all!!
