Blackpool maybe in a bit of a false position. Good team at home not so good on the road. They have played 3 more home games than away games hence their position. 15 games left, 9 of those away. Some tough ones to come. Can't see them making playoffs.
Jordan Rhodes missed the last game I think with rib injury so he could be missing, Good news?
Fans divided on their manager and style of play. (when are they happy)
Most certainly beatable with a Tuesday night under the lights performance.

Lets get stuck in to them like we did with Portsmouth, Derby and Bolton. Nothing to fear.

Can honestly say I feel more confident for Blackpool than I do for Vale on Saturday.

They have only won 3 league games away, Good wins though. Against Portsmouth, Barnsley and Brizzie R.
Not won a mid week game away in the league all season. Although they seemed to have played more midweek games at home.
Figures indicate we have a good chance of at least something. Hopefully all 3.

Confirmed, Rhodes not playing, still injured. What a shame.!
He has scored approx 1/3 rd of all their goals this season. Big miss for them.
Most of their fans think they are going to whup us because we are in the bottom 3.
If any of their fans are reading this, I think you might get a bit of a surprise waiting for you.
Suggest you read fans forums from Portsmouth, Bolton, Derby and Cambridge about playing us recently.
Whatever the result you are going to have one hell of a hard game.
We do like a home game on a Tuesday night under the lights. Ask Ipswich, Sunderland and Sheff Wed.
Hope you enjoy the delights of Cheltenham but not the result. Some complimentary reports from your fans about Cheltenham. Nice to read,
If you like to visit Cheltenham I suggest you let us win so we are both still in the same league next year!! ;)

Despite the very good Tuesday nights we've had at Whaddon Road over the last few seasons.....i still can't erase that hiding off Cambridge we got :lol: . Always makes me cautious.

No point, they think we are rubbish anyway.
Just hope to read some comments from them which don't belittle us.
Interestingly during DC,s time here compared with the same time for Blackpool they have played a couple more matches more than us and have 7 more points than we have accrued. So they haven't out performed us by much.

Be nice for ex Blackpool player Joe N to come on and score the winner. Hope he is up for it.
