On this day in 
BLACKPOOL SHOULD NOT HAVE LOST THIS GAME If the Blackpool forward line had possessed a few extra stones and inches, and if it had made one pass instead of three, this game would never have been lost.
The attack had all the class but none of the punch. Oh for a Mortensen today!
LAMENT in a dozen letters in the mail this week: “When, oh! when are we going to see ‘ The Two Stanleys ’ playing in partnership at Blackpool?” The record books reveal that as a wing they have played for Blackpool only four times this season, and once only - in the Wolverhampton match on September 11 - at Blackpool. So nobody has seen such a lot of them as a wing in league football.
Three of Stanley Matthews’ seven games have been at Blackpool, and the other Stanley has made four home appearances in 11 games.
Neither has played at Blackpool since September 11.
