Blackpool v Lincoln City Official Matchday Thread 01.01.24

Critch, get the players to watch this afternoons Zulu film. They knew how to battle and never give up in that
 
Difficult game today with all our injuries, sickness is the camp and those that arent sick or injured looking like they cant be arsed.

Think we will get beat today if im being honest, 0-2
 
I think the line up might be interesting today - this will be a plan b side me thinks with plenty of absences

Any positive result would be a bonus
 
I would let Virtue start in place of Norburn.
He had a good loan at Lincoln, knows how they set up, and they wanted to sign him.
 
Any chance of a system change? Or does he keep going with this nonsense? Frustrating in the extreme. If things go awry today surely the home crowd turns
 
Can't be arsed going today. Will be interesting to see if we can automatically continue the good home form or these past two performances will now impact on that.

Critchley needs a win to keep the fans at bay.

Lincoln’s recent form isn’t great, but they are no pushovers in this division. Two reds in two for them. Big game this at a busy time of year. I’m desperate for a positive response. Glad Rhodes is still here.
 
It’s all set up for us to concede an early goal and struggle. But then again this is now 2024 and our luck has to turn surely?

what a shock, now that is what i call a proper supporter
 
Critch will no doubt bench Rhodes, Dembele and Dale and give some of the ball boys a run out. I also hear Rob Abter has been recalled and will be wearing the goal keepers jersey..
 
You lot are hilarious. We’ve been banging in three goals a game at home - one of the top sides in the division whilst at the fortress. (Away from home we are dire)

It’s ok to admit you are a fan you know?

Its ok to cheer the team on.

It’s ok to actually want us to win and not pretend you hate everything about the club?

I’m leaving in 5 mins. Looking forward to it. New year, new hopes. Pool at home and all you miserable feckers can sit on this thread moaning away to each other win, lose or draw.
 
The back three are going to have to be on it today (and I do realise one of them is Connolly) not a lot of defensive minded players in front of them. Perhaps Critchley has decided to go all out attack, gung ho style 😯

Would love to know what’s going on with him.

It’s odd. If he’s off then I’m sure we would have heard by now 🤔

Might just really be a family issue. Fuck knows though.
 
So, Pennington & Norburn injured, No sign of Gabriel? Still ill or injured again? Virtue in place of Norburn, Dale in place of Thompson, same old formation but at least Dembele and Rhodes are playing, Morgan favoured over Carey. Bench showing how injuries are starting to affect us and of course, No Kenny to be seen anywhere. Great to see Marv on the bench, I'd rather see him playing in place of Connolly though.

Should be good enough to win but lets see.

I hope it is and I hope it isn't, if it's a family issue then that is really tough for the lad, if it's because he's off it's really tough for us but I wish him well whatever it is.
 
The best New Years pressie we could get is that Rhodes, Marv and Kenny are all staying. If they are then we can get players in to improve the team, if we lose them we are going to have to replace them before anything else and with equal or better skills.
 
Morgan and Virtue in CM. Preparing for life in League Two in the next couple of years.

Fancy Lincoln winning with that midfield. Just got to hope Dembele or CJ magic.

First goal crucial. If they get it, the boos and moans will be out in force.

No spare striker…..🙄

No one left is there with Beesley, Lavery and Kouassi all injured.

I presume Pennington and Gabriel are still feeling the effects of the illness.

Marv maybe not 100% and I suppose in defence of Connollys selection he has played right back, just as badly mind.

Edit to add, as for Kenny? God only knows.
