Nobbers v Blackpool Official Matchnight Thread 05.04.22

Only one prediction to make; whatever the result tonight, Blackpool will still be held in far higher esteem in the Nation’s heart than that place at the other end of the M55.

They know It, we know it.

And it kills them every single day.
 
For those that haven't got tickets and want to go to the pub in FY8, 15s and the Vic both showing us as the main game.
Amazing seeing that Liverpool are on tonight, wouldn't have been the case a few years ago!!

Preston are like the Reading of the North West!
 
If Critch plays 5-4-1 tonight do we view that as him being negative in a game supporters expect us to be on the front foot more?

I personally think he may well play 5-4-1 with Keogh coming in & Lavery being played up top on his own. I do not have an issue with this personally & would prefer us to have a clear game-plan with an emphasis put on pace in the final 3rd & to counter-attack at/with speed.

Grimmy
Sterling - Ekpi - Keogh - Husband - James
Bowler - Kenny D - Stewart - Keshi
Lavery

Bench: Maxwell, Thorniley, Connelly, C Kirk, CJ, Madine, Yates

so i thought of 2 possible line ups for today...it's a nailed on 4-4-2 for me
if we have a go at them:
Grimmy
Gabriel-Ekpi-Keogh-James
Bowler-Stewart-Kenny-Kirk
Yates-Madine

If we look to catch them on the break:
Maxwell
Gabriel-Ekpi-Keogh-Husband
Bowler-Stewart-Kenny-CJ
Madine-Lavery

-I think of Keogh over Thornley only because his experience, but I'd prefer the latter to play
-surely Keshi first substitute in
-Beesley for a probably knackered Madine late on

It's so obvious that I'll get it wrong even if I try and predict 10 line ups 😂

A knackered Madine rarely gets taken off.
 
Stewart injured AGAIN!! Great player but he is made of balsa wood. That is a shocking midfield and Sterling out too, I can only see us getting a bit of a spanking tonight. Injuries have completely hamstrung us this season. We need 2 new central midfielders in the summer.

Robson was well off the pace in his last game. Let’s hope tonight is his prodigal son night like when Thorniley returned?

Shame we couldn’t have Connelly in the midfield- would have loved his aggression in there.

Reece James could be an option at RB if Robson isn't working, however I was at QPR and James was very poor at RB in that game. Lucky not to have been sent off.
 
Not a good enough starting line up for me - where are the goals going to come from? Got to score goals - got to batter these scumbags

Fucks sake - surely Yates or Lavery ahead of CJ - even if they played out wide.
Hey ho - you never know know - so bring on the dancing horses.
 
Injuries have changed the team selection. It’s a local derby & those chosen should be delighted to be part of it. Think we might be surprised 🤞
 
A very fluid formation, Bowler Keshi and Hamilton Running at you is a worry for any defence, they can't man mark them all. UTMP
 
Says something about our squad, that even after we’ve seen the team sheet none of us have a scoob about where half the lads will be playing!
