this one looks very winnable on paper, but football is a funny old game and as soon as you solve one problem the next one comes along...complacency could be the danger here...taking them too lightly. can we start transferring some of our good home form to away games. www.statto.com/football/stats/england/league-championship/2014-2015/form-table/awayour away form has us 23rd in the table..1 win 5 defeats www.statto.com/football/stats/england/league-championship/2014-2015/form-table/homeblackpool have had 1 win, 1 draw and 4 defeats. blackpool's problem has been not scoring goals... only 4 scored in 8 home games. conceding 11. they don't ship that badly tbf and haven't been getting thrashed. in our 8 away we've scored 4, and conceded 15. so i'm expecting it to be fairly low scoring. i'll go for us to edge it 2-1 but wouldn't be quite as surprised as some by a draw or narrow defeat. |

I've every confidence we'll win this one comfortably. I think the side is now looking settled and players are beginning to gel with each other. As long as we can stay clear of injuries I can only see us getting better and better so 0-2 to the Whites for me.

Its basically a banana skin fixture for me, everyone expects Blackpool to lose and get well beaten in the league but as said they've been combative in most of our games. Play like we did at Cardiff and Wigan and we would brush past most sides but if we've not had a full squad training and with our away form anything could happen.
Still not drawn under Lennon, and 2-2 has been a popular prediction. Think 4 points from this and Huddersfield would still be progress and keeping with Lennons 2 points a game tally. So score draw.

Bolton of old (under DF) coming off a two week break would mean we'd lose.. However I feel under Lennon the lads will be well up for it and start as we left off and demolish Blackpool 1-3!! Come on lads get it done!

I'm confident we'll get a result, but may have to settle for a point. I read today that Eagles may be making his Blackpool debut in an article where he's spilling the beans on DF. I hope it's a win, will give us a lot of confidence going into the Huddersfield game, but my head says 1-1 or maybe even a slip up at 2-1 I had a cheeky fiver on us beating Wigan that netted me £18 .. so I've gone daft and put it all on a win for us at 13/10 .. hopefully £41.40 coming my way  |

here's a few of those beans, Eagles is spilling...nowt much that we didn't know already, apart from claiming he was offered a new contract. while not being totally without blame, i'm much more on Eagles side than Df's. i find it hard to believe we actually offered him a contract though considering how bad relations had deteriorated, although you wonder if we had a stab at trying to get a fee by getting him to resign then selling him !??. www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk/sport/blackpool-fc/eagles-blackpool-made-me-feel-wanted-1-6960487www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/11614225.Eagles_launches_war_of_words_with_former_Wanderers_boss_Dougie_Freedman/And Eagles is clearly still unhappy about events at Wanderers. He said: “Now I can say my piece about what happened at Bolton. “I believe Dougie Freedman was saying I was a disruptive influence and they never offered me a contract. “They offered me a number of contracts but I felt it wasn’t worth signing. I didn’t like him and I didn’t like the way he managed. “He showed me no respect, which is a shame as I loved it at Bolton. I would like to thank Bolton and their fans. I’ve had to keep my mouth shut. |

What happened with Dougie and Eagles because at one point Dougie said he would guarantee Chris a game even if he was off form. Then never played him. Maybe contract refusal and that's that!

I am going for a very close win. Can we keep a clean sheet? We may have to score 2 and win 2-1

Same team that played against Wigan with the obvious exception that Mark Davies has been replaced with Pratley, who would have played if not suspended in that game. I can have no arguments with that line up after the last two games but DP will not be playing in that left side free role that Clayton will play. Its whether he has the box to box skills that Davies has is my concern that and what type of performance we may get from Feeney.
Other options of Spearing and Trotter plus Vela and bringing back McNaughton at right back. Lets hope Lennons almost Midas though continues.
