Wigan Tomorrow

Filed Under Blackpool FC, Ian Holloway | Leave a Comment

So the journey and the ride begins again tomorrow at Wigan, unfortunately I’ll be joining a little later on with it being the other half’s Birthday tomorrow! I know first game of the season how disrespectful of her!

Joking aside, tomorrow and for the rest of the season we need to back the players, back Ollie and back the club no matter the results. Just a week ago people were worried about not bring in anyone, getting angry at KO and Ollie, we’ve now got 6 players in, players with top flight experience and young talented players. There was no need to worry.

If we lose 6-0 one week thats ok, we have pick ourselves up, forget the result, keep on singing, keep the noise levels up allow the lads to keep playing football. Some of the new lads might take weeks and maybe months to settle down but everyone Ollie’s brought in so far has been an improvement on before.

So here’s looking forward to another great season of ups and downs, but this time in the PREMIER LEAGUE!

In Ollie we trust!

and now Marlon Harewood signs!

The latest name to linked is Ludovic Sylvestre. The French midfielder started off at Barcelona, he moved onto Sparta Prague and to Mladá Boleslav where he played last season. A quick check on YouTube and there are a couple good vids, the first one he sets up a goal 1:25 and scored a cracker 2:00. Another goal at 5:50 after a great break-a-way run.

In the second video great bit of play and skill at 1:10. Sets up a goal on 5:00. Scored at 7:30

Pool 1 – 2 Hibs FT

A third loss on the trot but a good performance in the 1st half while our starting 11 played. With a little better finishing we could and should have been up by 3 or 4 in the first half. Jason Euell alone should have 3 or four goals. Let’s hope for some signings this week!

Pool 1- 1 Hibs HT

A good half of football and we’ve created about 8 chances but only taken one. Euell grabbed the one with a great one two with Demon after a surge forward from Vaughan. Baps and Charlie hit the bar, Brett nearly chipped the keeper, Euell headed wide twice.

We conceded from them getting behind Crainey, cross then a neat header.

2nd half underway!

Pool V Hibs

With a week to go till the big kick off today match was suppose to be the first chance for us to see our new summer signings. But there are none.

It’s our strongest 11, Gilks, Crainey, Evatt, Baptiste, Eardley, Adam, Vaughan, Euell, Ormerod, Taylor-Fletcher and Demon.

No new faces on the bench, very quiet, not many Pool fans

Poll Results : What do you think of the new shirt?

With the announcement today that our new shirt will be in the shops for Friday the 13th (it’s set up for a delay) I’ve closed the poll on your thoughts on the new shirt.

From the 161 votes cast, 34% concluded it was “horrid”, 31% are disappointed but accept it, while 17% wanted a new design. 9 people didn’t care and 20 liked it, guess they will be first in the queue at the shop on Friday.

This week has all been about signings, to be exact the lack of them. At the moment it’s looking like Dekel Keinan will be the only signing to get a game before the opener against Wigan.

So the poll is about why you think we’ve not signed any players. Options are

- Low bids
- Low wages
- Players not up for challenge
-  Training facilities

Get voting!

Good things come to those who wait

We have always been a club to wait til the last moment in the summer to make signings. Not sure why, maybe to avoid a wage bill in July? Here’s a quick list of 9 players we have signed in in August, remember in the football league the start of the season is a week before the start to the Premier League.

Right, all you Tony Hart and Neil Buchanan wannabes watch and enjoy MrWalks12 on YouTube drawing Charlie Adam. It’s a lot better than his Dirk Kuyt, it’s strange what you find on YouTube…..
