    Blackpool's Best Ever Signing

    the first time or second time? The first time we made a few bob on him

    Possession based football.

    So the possession based football at the back is to invite the opposition on, thus creating space further forward. The (bleeding obvious) issue is that we do it far too slowly. If you watch better teams playing the same as us, they are much quicker at it and can create the overloads needed. We...

    Interesting Dembele Video!

    It took most people about 45 mins to realise he was a number 10. Took Critchley about 4 matches plus games spent on the bench

    It’s a shame the season is already over

    We've still got an outside chance. Stevenage would need to have a bad run and Lincoln, on form, would be set to finish above us

    Jordan Rhodes goal drought?

    How many from open play, away from home? No issues with Rhodes, at home we get the ball in the box more and he thrives. I just wouldn't partner him away with Beesley. Obviously, we're also a bit limited in options also

    Jordan Rhodes goal drought?

    Both he and Beesley are towing caravans. Not what you need away from home

    George Byers?

    He's officially Scottish so would probably love Blackpool

    Jerry Yates

    He doesn't look out of place in the Championship, albeit, perhaps a squad player or bottom half team. I think he'd be our number 1 striker in div 1.

    Joseph v Beesley

    They're both currently bog standard league one players. One has more potential than the other but that's not saying much.

    AFC Fylde

    On and off - first match was vs Leyland Motors away 1997 but was at uni so didn't play much. Played sporadically through the 00's depending on the manager. They always had about 100 signed on so some years, they would be trying new players and I didn't bother. Think my last season might have...

    AFC Fylde

    Back in the day, I used to play my football at Norcross, mostly reserves. In the midfield was Jake Daniels dad and Adam Ormerod's uncle. Top blokes too.

    Blackpool FC Women

    There are no local girls academies. The only ones are Man U and Liverpool that I know of. Blackpool have started an ETC (you'll see it advertised in Bloomfield Road) which is similar concept to an academy (exceptional talent pathway). Fleetwood and the like are simply grassroots. I would go and...

    Ellis Simms

    I always found with Simms, he'd play really well one week, then look off it the next. Big lad, possibly needs resting and keeping fresh. His performance in the play-off semi vs Oxford away is well worth a watch back. The guy was unstoppable that day in such a big game
