DJ Campbell Blackpool number ….9….nope..19….nope…39

There was never any doubt that DJ Campbell was going to sign, it was like Wes all over again, we were always going to get him it just took a little time to secure the deal.

Looking over his stats from the two loan spells 20 goals in 38 games which pretty decent. All that remains is where to play him? we played with four attacking players last week, could we have five?

Matt Phillips in – More to come?

admin — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 12:27:20 +0000

So transfer deadline day and we have started well with one in already, Matt Phillips from Wycombe. We’ve paid £325,000 for the winger with that possible rising to £700,000, there’s also a sell on fee. Only 19 Phillips has played 78 times for Wycombe scoring 8 goals, he’s also played for England under 19′s 5 times scoring 2 including this last minute goal against France.

He made his debut a few months after his 17th Birthday and in his time at Wycombe won two ‘Young Player of the Year’ awards at the end of the season as well as the League Two ‘Apprentice of the Year’.

He looks like another good young player to add to the squad with a raving review from Steve Claridge.

Matt Phillips in – More to come?

Blackpool 2 – 2 Fulham

admin — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 22:16:18 +0000

We nearly nearly had them today in what was a great return to top flight football at Bloomfield Road. What a day it was with a great atmosphere and some great football too. It’s astonishing that we technically started with 4 strikers today, Omerod, Grandin, Taylor-Fletch and Varney. Thats the way to play football, today West Ham went to Manchester United with one up front and Blackburn tried to pack the midfield at home to Arsenal, boring stuff and not effective, both lost.

Fulham’s first goal was very lucky, it looked like a tug on Evatt in the build up and offside, after that it looked like every decision was going against us but as ever we carried on, deserved to get level and then take the lead. Overall Mike Oliver had a bit of a mare along with his lino on the East stand.

Luke Varney played well considering he only joined on Friday, yet another reject from another club coming good for the Pool. Hopefully with another few games under his belt he’ll knock a few more in.

David Vaughan was superb today, MOTM for me. He’s had no problems making that step up, with Southern coming back soon (he warmed up on the pitch before the game) it should allow Vaughan to get a little further forward in the coming matches.

So a little break now for the internationals, we’ve a friendly in Latvia and then up to Newcastle who earned a credible draw at Wolves today. After last years performance at Newcastle I’m hope we decide to turn up, last years 4-1 drubbing was a real disappointment.

Three games in, 4 points on the table, 10th the table, three entertaining games of football. Good times!!!

Big Ben Burgess Blackpool Number ….

admin — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 17:41:33 +0000

So Big Ben’s left for League One Notts County which looks like a great deal for him. Love him or hate him he did well for the Pool.

In total he made 83 (43) starts scoring 23 goals. 2 starts (3) in the FA cup with one goal, three starts in the league cup with three goals and two goals in 5 from the LDV.

Best moment? Winning the pen against Preston in the 1-0 win and maybe a few great goals including a cracker last year at Doncaster. Cheers Ben… wonder who’s be the new number 9?
