jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 26 March, 2012 Posted 26 March, 2012 Live on BBC1 5.25pm kick off Should be a cracking game, both attacking teams who have scored lots of goals. Blackpool defence is very leaky so if we can keep both phillips quiet then we have a good chance of taking 3 points.
pap Posted 26 March, 2012 Posted 26 March, 2012 Looking forward to this, and hoping that the team treats it as "must win". No reason for us not to, either. Blackpool weren't impressive defensively this week. I'll be up at this one.

THINWHITEDUKE Posted 26 March, 2012 Posted 26 March, 2012 Cheers for that, stops confusion especially at this time of day!!
shurlock Posted 26 March, 2012 Posted 26 March, 2012 Hope we pound them left, right and centre with crosses and setpieces. They've been a joke in the air of late. By the same token, I hope Fox remembers he's a ******* LB not a CB and gets tighter to his man - Ince and Phillips will be threats down the wings. That means Lallana and whoever is at RM -probably Guly (another aerial threat) or Chaplow rather than SDR for this one- are disciplined and provide decent cover.
Thedelldays Posted 26 March, 2012 Posted 26 March, 2012 they have scored in every league game this year......so we will more than likely need at least 2. will lambert be fit..? have a funny feeling we will lose this one 2-1 to them we can't win them all
saints-cris Posted 26 March, 2012 Posted 26 March, 2012 Not overly confident in this one. Will be goals for sure. If we defend well we can win.

skintsaint Posted 26 March, 2012 Posted 26 March, 2012 nigel is not worried about pulling him off *chuckle* I reckon this is a draw which would be good for us in a tough away game. Win would be fookin brilliant.

lethallee Posted 26 March, 2012 Posted 26 March, 2012 As they proved at SMS earlier in season Blackpool always carry a goal threat but defensively they are poor. Has makings for a really entertaining game and very difficult to predict what way it will go. Our fullbacks will have to be on top of their games to minimise threat of Blackpool wingers. Assuming Blackpool still play 4-3-3 formation, perhaps Nige will start with morgan, Cork and Hammond to allow us to get hold of possession in midfield. Lallana in free role behind Lambert and Sharp. Blackpool 1 Saints 2
Nexstar Posted 26 March, 2012 Posted 26 March, 2012 This looks like a real test, just similar to Hull. Win this and we take another massive leap toward promotion!
Jack Posted 26 March, 2012 Posted 26 March, 2012 I think we'll put in a good performance and win. Ruthless attack vs a leaky defence. We're in top form and have defended well, apart from the Millwall game, and have always carried a threat going forward. Last 8 form: Saints - Won 7, drawn 1, lost 0, scored 18, conceded 3. B'pool - Won 2, drawn 2, lost 4, scored 14, conceded 18. I reckon Ollie is dreading it.

Greenridge Posted 26 March, 2012 Posted 26 March, 2012 Phillips looked sharp on the weekends highlights (bar his glaring miss). Still doing the business so let's hope we have him well shackled

martyg1950 Posted 26 March, 2012 Posted 26 March, 2012 Will that work outside of the uk? Outside the UK you really need a proxy, easy to set up, when I was touring Europe a lot I used to use one that cost me about £5 a month. I could see any UK or USA 'free to air' content I wanted from wherever I happened to be. I use to use local tv for the F! season for instance with 5 live commentary
SFC Chris Posted 26 March, 2012 Posted 26 March, 2012 Judging by some of the comments on here over the last few days you'd think we're playing Brazil on Saturday, not Blackpool. Of course it will be a tricky encounter but we've every reason to go there full of confidence and expecting to take all 3 points. On current form how some people can say "can't see us winning this one" etc is beyond me. Lookin forward to what should be a good open game with both sides strong in attack - hopefully we have enough class at the back to make sure we leave with the points.
London Saint Posted 26 March, 2012 Posted 26 March, 2012 They play quite an open game so if we are on song and playing well then we could tear them a new one... On the other hand we looked quite average and lethargic in the first half against Donny so I hope we dont take our foot off the gas up at Blackpool or we could get caught out as they play good football at times...
Appy Posted 26 March, 2012 Posted 26 March, 2012 We'll win. They really aren't anything special, couple of decent attacking players to watch out for, but defensively we can get right at them.
SuperMikey Posted 26 March, 2012 Posted 26 March, 2012 ------------------DAVIS------------------ FRAZER-----FONTE-----HOOIVELD-----FOX STEVE----MORGAN-----CORK------LALLANA ----------LAMBERT-----SHARP------------- Subs: Martin, Hammond, Chaplow, Guly, Lee Keep Sharp in the first XI after his great performance on Saturday and give Lee a run-out late on. Start SDR at RM, they have no pace at the back and he will tear Crainey apart.
Matthew Le God Posted 26 March, 2012 Posted 26 March, 2012 Can't see anything but a loss, and haven't felt like that for ages now. Thought we'd end the season well after a tough middle period, but there will still be the odd blip. Not a disaster of course. Draw would be great. I just think they're the sort of team we'll struggle against as they could easily go ahead. The intensity of it, their attacking threat. I'm almost looking at it like a bonus game as it's our toughest fixture, IMO. They are in dreadful form at the moment for a side chasing promotion... Last 8 form: Saints - Won 7, drawn 1, lost 0, scored 18, conceded 3. Blackpool - Won 2, drawn 2, lost 4, scored 14, conceded 18.
Saint J 77 Posted 26 March, 2012 Posted 26 March, 2012 I've got to say I think we will win this one and I can be negative about Saints at the best of times. The last time I had a bad feeling before a game was the Ipswich game and although we didn't win it we still got a point. I feel good about Saturday, reckon we will win with another hard fought 2 nil scoreline!
Draino76 Posted 26 March, 2012 Posted 26 March, 2012 I think we'll put in a good performance and win. Ruthless attack vs a leaky defence. We're in top form and have defended well, apart from the Millwall game, and have always carried a threat going forward. Last 8 form: Saints - Won 7, drawn 1, lost 0, scored 18, conceded 3. B'pool - Won 2, drawn 2, lost 4, scored 14, conceded 18. I reckon Ollie is dreading it. On that note. I'll just whack £100 on the away win for utterly free money. If I'm drunk; £200. 11/8 at skybet.
DT Posted 26 March, 2012 Posted 26 March, 2012 they have scored in every league game this year......so we will more than likely need at least 2. will lambert be fit..? have a funny feeling we will lose this one 2-1 to them we can't win them all Yep - also have funny feeling. Going upbeat with 1-1
keithd Posted 26 March, 2012 Posted 26 March, 2012 Not hopeful, dunno why. Just law of averages I guess, we gotta lose sometime... and if its to happen this weekend rather than against that lot down the road On the other hand I thought that last season and look at how we finished.... Win this one and I'll believe we can go up
Lighthouse Posted 26 March, 2012 Posted 26 March, 2012 Feeling fairly good about this one, maybe it's just the weather today. Blackpool are a decent enough side, but really are nothing to write home about overall. Lambert, Lallana and Sharp are scarier going forward than than the two Phillips and our defence if far, far superiror. As long as we turn up, play our way and don't get suckered into another Millwall performance, there's no reason we can't get another 3 points.
bpsaint Posted 26 March, 2012 Posted 26 March, 2012 A weeks rest after a hard fought week in which we gained maximum points will do the team a world of good I reckon. We know Blackpool are good on the attack but then so are we, and if we have Frazier back by then I'm convinced we'll get a result, espically with Sharp chomping at the bit now.
hasper57saint Posted 26 March, 2012 Posted 26 March, 2012 I'm fully confident on this one. Saints to win by 2 clear goals. Watch out for the 'Boys in Blue' though as they were viscious last time we were up there.Threw an 8 year old to the ground for defending his dad! Ollie will make the usual excuses about the Ref and Lino's. COYS

saints-cris Posted 26 March, 2012 Posted 26 March, 2012 This game is about how we defend. IF we defend well, we know we can score. Looking at the form of both of us, we should win this one.
Toomer Posted 26 March, 2012 Posted 26 March, 2012 Rat boy is sure to score but I think we will edge by one goal out of five, 3-2 to Saints.
shurlock Posted 26 March, 2012 Posted 26 March, 2012 Good article here: http://thetwounfortunates.com/chopping-and-changing-at-blackpool/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=chopping-and-changing-at-blackpool
unionhotel Posted 26 March, 2012 Posted 26 March, 2012 Are tickets available on the day for this game? I suppose they should be cos a lot of people will stay at home, but for me, it's the nearest ground and I'm definately going.
Under Weststand Posted 26 March, 2012 Posted 26 March, 2012 I would take a draw now, although I feel confident for promotion I don't think we will have everything our way for the rest of the season. You just know Phillips is going to get at least one against us, and this could be one of those hick ups. But lets go for a positive 2-2 draw.
hasper57saint Posted 26 March, 2012 Posted 26 March, 2012 Why was an 8 year old defending his dad from the police though? The nippers Dad was grabbed by a huge Rozzer for mouthing off at a Lino and the lad shouted 'Leave my Dad alone!' The Rozzer grabbed the nipper and threw him to the ground. All of us in the vicinity really gave him some stick but it made no difference. They were both marched off with their arms forced up their backs.
Jack Posted 26 March, 2012 Posted 26 March, 2012 On that note. I'll just whack £100 on the away win for utterly free money. If I'm drunk; £200. 11/8 at skybet. 11/8 is very decent considering the form tables
pap Posted 26 March, 2012 Posted 26 March, 2012 Don't look at it as a "bonus fixture". Rochdale was our last "spare game", and we were crap.
S-Clarke Posted 26 March, 2012 Posted 26 March, 2012 I think we'll all be pleasantly surprised by the outcome and performance. I remember most were fearing the worst prior to Birmingham away, WHU away, Hull away.....those games brought some of our best displays of the season.
Leicestersaint Posted 26 March, 2012 Posted 26 March, 2012 A point would be a very good result - a win would be fantastic.
Saint_Jonny Posted 26 March, 2012 Posted 26 March, 2012 On the telly so we'll draw. A lot better than saying "on the telly so we'll lose" though! COYR
Dr Who? Posted 26 March, 2012 Posted 26 March, 2012 I just get the feeling Blackpool fans will get their chance to sing 'premier league your havin a laugh' or words to that effect. But we will level it up 3-3. Just hoping the hammers do not get 3 points tomorrow and then beat Reading. If we do lose to Blackpool, please tell me we will beat the skates!
