Saint In Cornwall Posted 18 January, 2023 Share Posted 18 January, 2023 Blackpool sack their manager - Michael Appleton. Saves him from abuse on the 28th I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM Posted 18 January, 2023 Share Posted 18 January, 2023 Think their fans wanted him out, 2nd bottom of the championship looking likely to drop down to league one. Like us I'd imagine the FA Cup isn't first priority. Big game for them Saturday v Huddersfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their game v Huddersfield was called off yesterday due to a frozen pitch so it really will be Mick McCarthy's first game, got a feeling we'll end up with a replay, what's Blackpool beach like this time of year?

A rotated one, but one that should still be able to get the job done. Assuming DCC is banned for Tuesday, (which I think is accurate), he might as well play on Sat. Rest Lavia and Alcaraz for Tuesday. Possibly rest JWP too. Hopefully get into the lead by half time and then give Ballard / Morgan / Dibling some pitch time towards the end.

Will be nice to enjoy the game without too much pressure and no away fans in the home end for once (think Blackpool will bring about 1000 plenty of tickets to spare for them) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRM Posted 25 January, 2023 Share Posted 25 January, 2023 Bednarek can't play as he is cup tied. Reading up on DCC suspension , think he is out as yellow card suspension are competition specific but red card covers all games so I think his one match ban is covered by this match 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think DCC is banned for Tuesday, because it was 2 yellows, but I might be wrong. Would happily take him as banned for this Saturday though and available on Tuesday ! No idea where to check.

Luke SkyWalker-Peters Posted 25 January, 2023 Share Posted 25 January, 2023 (edited) We should dominate the ball, so play the 4222 the club is used to. I think that this is our absolute lowest priority right now and should be used for some debuts and needed minutes for some players. Shame Bednarek is Cup tied and ABK is still out.

Dragon_man Posted 25 January, 2023 Share Posted 25 January, 2023 Tough choice on team selection ... Pick your best and run the risk of injury, fatigue or further demoralisation if defeated. Pick a second string team and really risk a defeat, thus formally drawing the season to a close. Me, I'd play the highest paid feckers and go for it. They are all in the shop window for the summer now anyway. Would be nice to get something out of them before they are gone. Put Adams in goal and our front line in defence, that would eliminate any chance of an own goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRM Posted 27 January, 2023 Share Posted 27 January, 2023 Third home game in a week so understandable that ticket sales are low, especially following 2 defeats with no goals, probably will only be 17-18k , it is quite nice to have an old school Saturday 3pm cup tie where people can pay on the day so might get a few walk ups.

macca155 Posted 27 January, 2023 Share Posted 27 January, 2023 Looks like Morgan wasn't involved in this afternoons B game so likely he'll feature If its all about giving players a game it could be Bazuna Bree Bendarek Salisu Perraud Walcot AMN JWP Elyounoussi Orsic Morgan Not that formation obviously but I'm sure some of those players will get a game. We need Walcot and Bendarek to be up to speed and unless JJ Morgan gets a game soon he will quite rightly look elsewhere. Looks a small team and perhaps a bit weak for facing a championship team but with a gruelling match on Tuesday there will need to be changes.
