Blackpool 0 - 2 Sheffield Wednesday

Filed Under Alex Baptiste, Blackpool FC, Joe Martin | Leave a Comment

That’s the first time we’ve lost four games on the trot since the 2002-03 season. I wasn’t able to go tonight but from messages on the forums it’s seems some fans are getting on the backs of the players and Grayson which can’t help really when the players are obviously down and out.

If I had a bad day at work, made some mistakes and coded something wrong the last thing I’d want is someone ranting at me.

Joe Martin came in for Mo Camera tonight to start at left back, feedback was that he did well but it’s going to be essential to get Crainey back in the team and playing well. Poor Stephen McPhee came on as a sub and 5 minutes later he went off with an injury, not a good night at all.

Saturday we play Plymouth, I think the players will be grateful for an away game. Argyle have won 4 at home, drawn two and lost three, lets home for at least a point!

Wolves 2 - 0 Blackpool

Not a good day again going down two nil to Wolves, no doubt that the better team won but at times we showed a real lack of passion.

The two plus points had to be Lee Hendrie and Alex Babtiste who started their first games in a pool shirt.

At right back Babtiste replaced Barker and should keep his place in the side. Hendrie replaced Jorgensen and did really well linking up play and getting forward.

Camara still looks suspect but a second half peformance should help him keep his place in the side. Gow and Kabba didn’t really work upfront and Burgess was poor for his cameo at the end.

Second goal was hand ball too…..

I’m sat at Molineux watching pool warm up including Nardiello who is back in the match squad.

It’s freezing, meatloaf is playing at it’s cost £28 to get in, better be a good game!

Blackpool FC Squad in Football Manager 2009

The new Football Manager 2009 was released in the past week, I’ve downloaded a demo version rather than buying it as I’m still hooked on Fifa 09 (won the Prem today with Blackpool in my second season). The squad list is pretty accurate, no Hendry of course by no Mo Camera.

I tried playing tonight as soon as I started a match it crashed my Mac, which doesn’t happen often. Reading over the website for the game it seems that there have been a few teething problems so it might be best to wait a couple of weeks until patches are released.

Blackpool 1 - 3 Preston North End

I’ve just about calmed down following our defeat today to the nobbers. I have to say I’m really disappointed in the performance, especially as it’s two weeks in a row when we’ve not come out to play. Preston didn’t look all that but were first to the ball in the middle and upfront, also they seem to have a couple of players who are able to finish.

Adam Hammill did well on the wing and took his goal well, pity he wasn’t able to add to it in the second half with the couple of chances he had. Preston in the end managed to press the right areas and managed to break down the right wing for all three goals. I think that a few clubs are targeting Shaun Barker and Gary Taylor-Fletcher down the right, I wounder how many goals we have conceded from the right side?

Anyway we have to pick ourselves up now for the Wolves game which isn’t going to be easy.

Blackpool V Preston North End 2008/09

It’s the big one, Blackpool V Preston North End the one we’ve been waiting for. After last years win at Deepdale and a draw at home we quiet wrightly had the bragging rights for the season. The amazing fact was last year Preston were pre match favourites, as established Championship team compare to ourselves new boys in the division. 

This time round the teams are even, Preston are only above us by goal differance in the league and Alan Ivine has his own team, no Agent Paul Simpson’s. 

Once again the result is all important. I’m hoping that that it’s not going to be a bore draw like last season but if that means we avoid defeat I’ll take it!

Blackpool 0 - 1 Ipswich

Pretty much an awful game yesturday with Ispwich just about deserving the points. We had a few good chances the pick falling to Gary Taylor-Fletcher who headed onto the bar in the second half.

Anyway the concentration now goes onto the Blackpool V preston match next week. Preston grabbed a draw at Norwich, Neil Mellor’s goal on 81 mins evened the game up at 2-2. I’m hoping it should be a good game but last year’s 0-0 draw at home was pretty boring to be honest.

Both teams have 21 points, with Preston one place ahead of us in the league thanks to a one goal better goal difference. So the teams seem to be pretty even, hopefully not another draw then?

Tractor Boys Visit Town

After the amazing result last week over Watford the Tractor boys come to town, Ispwich are current 8th in the league on 21 points, the same as us, but have a better goal differance of plus 7.

It’s a transformed team from last season as they have managed to win a few away games this year winning at Burnley and Plymouth. They’ve even got Ivan Campo playng for them.

Anway it should be three points in the bag, Gow, Burgess and Taylor-Fletcher are on top form at the moment, a win and results going our way could see us move one place below the play-offs.

Watford 3 - 4 Blackpool

Well, what a game that was and what a game to pick for an away day. I don’t get to many away games in London but I managed to arrange a meeting on Friday in London and then stayed the night. Watford is a bit of dump (yes I know Blackpool is too), the ground is strange too as you enter the away stand and your at the top of the stand, it’s build on a hill.

The game was great, both sides defended poorly which lead to the seven goals. I’m sure the back four were not happy with conceding three but it’s a good job we have a selection of players that can grab a goal a game.

Ben’s cracking lob / shot was the pick of the goals but when Gow slotted in the winner the roof came off the away stand. It was a great day to be a Pool fan!

The rest of the month looks good too, Ipswich at home, the big one agaist the nobbers, Wolves a great away trip, Sheffeild Wednesday away and we finish up on the south coast at Plymouth!

EDIT : Poor old Aidy Boothroyd was sacked today!
