Since promotion to league 1, as things stand, with the table how it is as I type, against the top 6 the numbers stand at (very quick lookup) P27 W5 D10 L12 25 points from a possible 81 Next few weeks are massive Time to step up to the plate.

Annoying really as a few of them must be when he has a nip back after been hacked down 4 or 5 times before the ref gets a card out. Those stats show he's been fouled 58 times !! Super Kevin Davies was the same. Much was made in sports shows of him being the Premier League’s dirtiest player by number of fouls against him. Strangely, the same sports shows forgot to mention he was also the most fouled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draw tomorrow would be best regardless how we do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because he didn't roll around like he'd be shot. And when he fouled someone, they tended to stay fouled 😁. Patrice Evra 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Coleman JDC Jones Santos Iredale Ashworth Dempsey Sheehan GT Vic CMG I think that’s what I’d go with, although Ashworth and GT could easily be Ogbeta and Maghoma, I just thought they’d be better having a rest after Tuesday night and both could come back in against Wigan. God knows up front, you could make a case for any combination of those available. Think I’d prefer bod off the bench and I haven’t seen enough from Collins yet to suggest he should be starting ahead of CMG (and they’re very similar so probably not going to play alongside each other). 3-1 Whites - the curse is broken. Dempsey, CMG and a late Collins pen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 We never EVER win at Bloomfield Road. Surely that has to change finally. Tomorrow would be a fine time for that. Then onwards to Wigan and collect 3 points and some credibility back after the shocking home defeat. All to play for. Let’s hope the players are really, really up for it.

paulhanley Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) With this fixture it's not just that we've gone 47 years without winning there (approx 15 games) but it's the ways we've contrived to balls up great positions. When we played them on Boxing Day 85 it was the first time since the last win at Christmas in 1977. We were 0-1 up with seconds to go (David Cross) and conceded an equaliser. That set the tone. In the Sherpa Van semi final there in 88/89 it felt like a win but it was a 1-1 draw. Deep in to injury time they were down to 10 men and Jeff Chandler missed a sitter to make it 1-2 on the night and 3-1 to us on aggregate. Anyone remember 89/90? We were 0-1 up late on in an FA Cup first round tie there in November and later the same season in a league (Easter). We lost both 2-1. Absolutely grim on both occasions. Even in 92/3 under Bruce we were leading 0-1 until the last couple of mins only for David Burke to concede a penalty. It was galling to go there with a forward line including Sturridge/SKD/Klasnic/Chungy and lose 4-3 in 10/11 in the first time we'd played there for 18 years. Then in the last 10-12 years back in the second tier I remember us drawing 2-2 after having twice taken the lead. I also remember Tim Ream missing a late sitter in a game that finished 0-0. The only consolation is they've had the same catalogue of missed opportunities to break their winless run at ours over a similar timeframe. It's got to end sooner or later. Promotion is the aim - but doing this tomorrow would be a serious bonus on the way. It ain't going to be simple though!!

I want us to win for me, because I have money on us winning the title (as well as finishing top 2, and getting promoted one way or another) I want us to win for the club, because we're on this upward trajectory journey going in the right direction and I like everything about the club at the minute I want us to win for all us on here and other fans too but most of all most of all I want us to win for you, because you've been going on about not winning at blackpool for as long as I can remember, it clearly means a lot oh and for @gonzo too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MancWanderer Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Proper derby this. Inherited that feeling from my Dad who always saw them and Blackburn as our biggest rivals. He was at the 53 final and his bitterness towards Blackpool lasted to his dying day. I’d take a win tomorrow and a scabby point against Wigan any day. I’ve never actually seen us beat Blackpool home or away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
