Blackpool v Burton Albion Official Matchday Thread 05.08.23

I did think Burton at home “that’s an easy three points”but reading up on their signings and their manager I think it couox be a tough one but let’s go flat out for three points UTMP

Hope you’re right about going flat out, I’ve just got a feeling that Critch will do what he did many times last time he was here. He’ll have assessed Burton as you have and may set up cautiously.

Interesting character Dino Maamria. This is from 2018 but gives some background...

Stevenage’s Dino Maamria: ‘Yes, I was born in a tent and poor – but I loved it’

A chance encounter with a holidaying Burnley scout was a crucial step on the road that took Dino Maamria from Tunisia to being manager of Stevenage, he tells Ben Fisher

I played for Burnley's academy early 00s and he was doing some coaching for the youth teams around the time, so trained under him a bit. Nice bloke.
 
Chance of Joseph on the bench tomorrow maybe? From the club website match preview...

"Kyle Joseph arrived at the Club injured but is close to a return to action – it remains to be seen whether he will be fit to make his debut in this one."
 
Gazette predicted line up is

Grimshaw
Lyons
Pennington
Ekpiteta
Husband
Connolly
Norburn
Morgan
Hamilton
Dale
Lavery

That looks like a physically small front line. I'd like to see a big mobile target man in the squad.

Good shout. I might do Trybull instead of Morgan and bring Morgan on if we need more threat later.
 
I’m looking forward to it all. Poulton Elk for breakfast, thatched for a pint then train in then over to the Bloomfield Brewhouse and armfield. It’s what it’s all about. Shame weather looks crap but other than that it’s got 3 points on the board. Come on the pool

Can’t wait to get in that ground later, lets get behind the boys for 90 minutes (be more 100+ minutes with the new additional minutes rule) and make sure we make Bloomers a fortress again, nothing but 3 points today is acceptable.

COME ON THE POOL!!
 
Hoping for a good result by trying to not be too optimistic as first day defeats bringing us back down to reality are certainly possible.

Anyway- first pint in The Poulton Elk underway. COYP
 
Bit nervous for today, really hoping we get off to a good start. Very jealous of everyone going but will be cheering on from home.
