I’m in the ground, no eardley in the team so Edwards starts withs Babs at right back.

It’s cold but there a good following from Pool. Love the feature in the program with our tactics from David Bust. All wrong.

QPR Have No Hart

Today it’s back to normal football, no more freezing conditions or snow but one thing remains the same, QPR changing managers.

After former Pool defender Paul Hart left as manager of QPR this week the stats about the merry-go-round at QPR were revealed. Since the new owners came into Loftus Road in 2007 the team has had 9 managers and amazing 90 transfers of players in the same time.

Stability has been the foundation of success, in the same time that QPR have seen off 9 manager we have had three. Grayson, Parks and Ollie.

It’s hard to predict todays game, a team that’s recently recently lost it’s manager is similar to a wounded animal. It might get up, try to fight or it’s going to lie down to die. Let’s hope that QPR are going to lie down and roll over.

Back to the South Stand

Rumours have been flying around ever since the work started on the South and today it was confirmed the residents of the North will be moving to the South Stand. The reason why hasn’t been given but it’s most likely that the North will now be used for away fans.

In footballing terms I’m sure the players don’t really care but at least now there will be fans at both ends of the ground to kick towards.

This most likely is the nail in the coffin for the temporary East stand which is falling apart, ask the Preston fan that broke the floor of the stand.

It will be strand to see the atmosphere change and I’m guessing that the fans in the most Northern parts of the West stand will be looking to move.

Any opinions add them to a comment below!

Cardiff 1 – 1 Blackpool FT

This is the kind of result we should be grinding out away from home. We’ve too often gone behind away from home and not fought back. Yesterday was the third time we have managed to grab a point after going behind, the other two away at Watford and the 3-3 cracker at Doncaster.

We’ve still yet to come from behind away and win but the performance yesterday and the win at Derby shows we are starting to play a lot better away from home.

Credit also has to go to the back four, missing Evatt, Edwards and Crainey, debutant Andy Butler (above) and Joe Martin apparently did well after a dodgy start to the game.

Let just hope we have some games to play in the coming weeks!

Blackpool 1 – 2 Ipswich FT

It didn’t go to plan today which was partly due to ourselves and a little bit from referee Eddie Ilderton. We got off to a shocker again conceding an early goal to Ipswich, but after that started to get into the swing of things. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a game with as many cross-field balls.

The pen looked an easy one to give for the lino, Brett played for it but not a surprise that Charlie missed. Second half we seemed to have Ipswich ready for the taking after the great goal from Brett.

Then Mr Eddie Ilderton intervened, the first on from my view looked like Evatt didn’t get the ball. The second looked really harsh decision, there were covering players and also Edwards didn’t look to know that Jon Walters was coming from behind him.

Here’s looking forward to some new faces in the coming week!

The game is on but the pitch looks very firm and will get slippy as the sun goes down.

The covers are pilled up at the south and a closer look they do look second hand.

The good news is that we have a match to look forward too!!

Another match off?

It’s 2:17 in the morning and I can’t sleep. I’m not sure if thats due to me sleeping half of today or the excitement that a Blackpool home game may be going ahead tomorrow after two matches being called off.

After the two matches fell foul of the cold weather we seem to have borrowed some sheets to cover the pitch, the webcam caught the sheets in action, there wasn’t a big announcement about them on the website unlike Fleetwood Town who ranted on about them paying 15k for the covers.
