Blackpool v Doncaster Official Matchnight Thread 04.05.21

[avftt_admin]

All the usual stuff here plus don't forget your predictions.

 

[BFC76]

Already a bit nervous about this one - anything will do - just don't let it go down to the last day of the season!!

 

[TangerineArmy]

3-1 and move above the cats :)

 

[Hazi]

Cacking my pants. 2-2

 

[tangysider]

2 nil to the mighty

 

[bollieboy]

Let's make sure we get the point required and take any pressure off Saturday's game.

 

[Steve_tangerine]

2-0 win put us above Sunderland

 

[JimmyHampsonEastStand]

2-1 Ballard & Simms

 

[AndrewDuncanSmith]

A comfortable win against Donny who have nothing to play for except to blood some of their youngsters..

 

[Blackpoolmad]

As I have £10 each way at 66-1, I'm expecting a third spot end of season. Doncaster are due a defeat against us and Bristol Rovers need a good stuffing to send them home.
I'm my usual, positive and confident state of mind for this campaign.
6 more points coming up for the tangerines.

 

[Athers]

Donny have lost 7 out of their last 9 games, with a very creditable draw against Posh and an away win at Rochdale on Saturday.

We’ll get a draw minimum but I’m gonna say 2-1 win. Yates scoring against his boyhood club

 

[62years&counting]

2-1

 

[Ruperthoop]

2-0 pool

 

[Tangerine Pip]

Turton to score His last goal came against Doncaster. Cmon turts . Don’t be shy

I'm with you on Turton. He wants to get one by the end of the season , I saw him in an interview a couple of weeks back and he said as much, and he's had some half chances recently. I know its unlikely but were in crazy times. He's usually 25/1 to score at any time during a game. That's worth a fiver of anyone's money for the craic. I don't care if it goes in off his arse.

 

[Dr Hfuhruhurr]

2-1 Pool. Hopefully Charlton can hold Lincoln to a draw or better. If better we go 3rd

 

[michellebutterflyhotel]

I’m going for. 3-0 to pool tomorrow

 

[Alf]

4-3 to Neil’s slippery eels

Don’t hold your breath, that goal against Donny doubled his tally. Unfortunately he couldn’t hit a bulls arse with a banjo.

But arguably he has been our most consistent player on lowest wage!
Give him a new contract now!

This isn’t a discussion on his usefulness to the team. Purely on his scoring ability, or lack of same.

He averages I think one goal every 60 odd games.....whenever he gets near the opponents box he seems to have a nosebleed ....He may be a "steady eddie" to some.....but I wouldnt count on it.
Now Garbs on the other hand...when he gets near the box...different class......Just saying.

 

[PETER SPRUCE 1]

2-2 for me (that will make me very happy)I might even invest a San Miguel Especial if it happens .
First goal for me Kai Kai ,if playing 34 min .

Almost exactly the same goals per game ratio as Husband. Unfortunately goal contribution from defenders via set pieces or whatever have been sadly lacking.

Hope Sullay is fit to play

 

[Walnut]

Waterlogged pitch???

 

[Walnut]

More exciting if it goes to the wire

 

[we_need_a_bob_hatton]

"Another Party we have ruined" Donny"s managers quote after sending Rochdale down and their 2-2 draw with Peterboro...Im sure they hope to do the same to us and hope our players rise to the challenge and get the job done.

 

[Ping Pong]

Yep I realise that!
Hes a RB! Not many RBs score many goals?
How many has Hubby scored as LB, Or Gabriel as RB/RM?
None!

 

[Scaramanga]

0-0

 

[bfcpete]

A nervous 1-1
Yates

He scored a cracker for Crewe against us.

 

[TangerineSeasider]

Pool 2-1 Donny
Simms 24 mins

 

[Goforgoal]

He scored a cracker for Crewe against us.

He scored a cracker for Crewe against us.

1 of the 4 he scored for Crewe in 170 games. I appreciate he is a defender and not a forward, but it is still a very poor return which, if you were to ask him he would probably admit.

 

[Seasider3610]

We’ll win this one.

They have nothing to play for.

 

[Johnno]

Another 3-0, more worried about new injuries from here on in.

 

[Recidivist3]

The Turtonator - he’ll pass back!!

[This is Ska]

The ground staff have got some work on looking at my lawn and the ongoing rain.

 

[1966_and_all_that]

It would be sensible if the parties can agree to allow Blackpool to prepare for tomorrow with a plan B for Wednesday.

 

[Walnut]

I’m hoping it will be fine. Haven’t had a game called off since verti drains installed.
Mind you it hasn’t rained either.

 

[TangerinePeel]

No idea what the score is gonna be all I know is it'll be a Blackpool W

 

[Hazi]

Feeling nervous about how nervous I will be against Bristol
rovers if we don’t get a point tomo.

 

[TangerinePeel]

Someone made a scary shout on twitter.

Raining today, raining tomorrow..

Just play it Wednesday, surely?

 

[Sooty59]

Donny have nothing to play for, now that can be dangerous in that they could play more freely or just not have that edge knowing it doesn't matter to them. As we don't know which it will be, it would be stupid to approach it any differently than Saturdays game. I believe we now will get the better of Donny tomorrow & put us in an unassailable playoff position. One last heave then a changed side against Barton's latest flops to rest a few before we enter the playoffs.
I'm staying positive 3-1 to us.

 

[Sooty59]

It's been dry for ages no doubt at all.

Well here's a less scary shout on AVFTT.......light rain showers only tomorrow.

 

[Grumpy_no_more]

The lads will be out to avenge the game at their place when we went two nil up and lost 3-2.

Goals from Anderson and Yates, and a clean sheet for our magnificent defence.

Hopefully we don't lose the tactical battle again, or can respond a bit quicker on the touchline if there is one. They changed the game by putting Taylor Richards (3 in 2, 5 in 7 currently) in the no 10 role and outnumbering us in the middle second half.

The shape in the last two games has looked better but it's been typical of the structure of the season that as soon as we bump up the numbers in midfield the injury gods start removing bodies from it straight away.
