He's on 5 yellows but I think one is in the cup 

Unsure when that one was though 

The 4 league are all 2025

Edit, it was against Mansfield in 2024. 

So I don't think he's banned. Will be after the next one tho

surely the timelimit for 5 yellows has passed by now. December isnt it ?

He's had 4 since Jan

Sort of irrelevent surely.

5 yellows by gameweek 19 - 1 match ban

10 yellow by gameweek 32 - 2 match ban

15 yellows by end of season - 3 match ban

Right here's the full list of misery since we last won at Bloomfield Road on 27 December 1977. What's remarkable about this (and the fixtures at Bolton) is how close away wins have been only to be derailed very late in games or in odd/unusual circumstances.

League

  • 1985/6 Blackpool 1 Bolton 1 (last minute equaliser conceded)
  • 1986/7 Blackpool 1 Bolton 1 (conceded an equaliser inside a minute of going ahead) 
  • 1988/89 Blackpool 2 Bolton 0 
  • 1989/90 Blackpool 2 Bolton 1 (conceded twice in the last few minutes - see FA Cup game in the same bloody season)
  • 1992/3 Blackpool 1 Bolton 1  (conceded a late penalty equaliser
  • 2010/11 Blackpool 4 Bolton 3 (late season Premier League, had to be 4-3! At least it didn't save them from relegation)
  • 2012/13 Blackpool 2 Bolton 2 (twice ahead, twice conceded equalisers)
  • 2013/14 Blackpool 0 Bolton 0
  • 2014/15 Blackpool 1 Bolton 1  (late Chungy equaliser)
  • 2019/20 Blackpool 2 Bolton 1 (got a very late equaliser, conceded an even later winner - a matter of weeks before COVID struck) 
  • 2023/4 Blackpool 4 Bolton 1 

Cups 

  • 1988/89 Blackpool 1 Bolton 1 (Sherpa Van Northern Final, Bolton win on aggregate and invade the pitch, felt like a win but wasn't one) 
  • 1989/90 Blackpool 2 Bolton 1 (went ahead, conceded two late goals in front of the MOTD cameras with lots of wittering about 1953)
  • 1990/91 Blackpool 3 Bolton 0 (Preliminary group game)
  • 2016/17 Blackpool 4 Bolton 2 (League Cup) 
  • 2023/24 Blackpool 0 Bolton 0 (Pizza Cup - Counts as a draw but Blackpool won the pens)

I make that Won 0 Drawn 8 Lost 8 altogether and Won 0 Drawn 6 Lost 5 in the league. 

The only saving grace is they've got an equally dismal record at Burnden/Horwich over the same period (since their last win in 1986 we've W 10 D 5 L 0 in all competitions)

Surely this has to end soon? Saturday 29 March would be a great time for it to happen.

Going off locals this lot are playing some really good stuff, just a bit fruitless in attack but they'll have this Blockson back who is their main man.

In their last 13 homes, they've drawn 9, lost 2 (the first & last of the 13) and won 2 (Cambridge and Crawley).

A win for us would be "above par" given they've lost so few, a defeat would be very much below par given their only home win against a team not getting relegated was Exeter.

Yes and the Wigan home record is 6-4-8. You are right in your analysis. If you look at both fixtures and at our away record we ought to be on for something in both games. But what such analysis cannot account for is the way both clubs historically play out of their skins against us, way above their normal levels.

Aye must admit in the fickle old world of being a football fan yesterday sucked any optimism I had about this fixture away.

Only saving grace is Im sure Blackpool won't be sittting back like county did yesterday. 

It's been flat for their home games for a while. Won't be when we play them mind.

Main saving grace is I will only remember approx 20% of the actual game !

They went off the boil for a while coincidental with Bruce having have that compassionate leave, since his return they seem to have steadily improved, while still not being full of goals. Barnsley away result last week was a good one. 

I'll be round the corner at Stanley Park at an athletics comp, hopefully I only hear fairly small cheers drifting over on the wind

If anyone knows of any spares, please let me know. Need 2, possibly 3.

Thanks.

Apologies for the bump, but still after 2 if there are any out there. Ta.

There were a handful of returns at the TO yesterday. Keep checking.
