Match Thread City v Blackpool Tuesday (2 Viewers)

[slowpoke]

One player will more than likely go anyway regardless of where we finish this season.

I don’t mind who leaves thats football but we know only a fraction of any fee or fees end up with the manager to spend

Would presume Fadz, Allen, Hamer & Kane will be back in as they didn't play much on Sat. Would like to see Jodi given a start, but from all accounts he wasn't great on Sat

[Hod dog]

Moore
Kane
Hyam
Fadz
JCS
Bidwell
Hamer
Sheaf
Maatsen - really impressedin AM
O hare
Viktor


but as others have said, feel we have some strong options available with Allen, Rose, Waghorn and Eccles, dont feel like team is weakened with any of them starting which is great.

3-0 Cov, Viktor x 2 and Hamer rocket!

Be very surprised if JCS starts, looked out on his feet for all of extra time.

Totally agree - the obvious one for Fadz to come in for.

2-0 City Waghorn with a brace

 

[Covkid1968#]

Blackpool are a good team - just won 3 on the bounce; after Saturday's excursion, any type of win will be welcome. Come on City, pre-match rituals already started (2 slices of toast at about 9ish, followed by 8 cans of White Lightning and a couple of snorts of Persil non-bio)

Just a small tweak here for me. Snorting the Persil non bio means getting in the ever growing queues for a cubicle and then there is the hygiene question mark around racking up a line on the lid of one of the minging toilets. Not for everyone but personally I’d switch to shoving one of these up your backdoor in the morning and your good to go for the whole day and night!! No need to thank me

 

[covhead1]

Evenly matched game and has draw written all over it.
2-2

I see our referee from hell Steve Hatter until I die Martin is the fourth official. Thank god there is no VAR.

 

[Tommo1993]

Andre Marriner ref too. Some City fans make me laugh. Fussing that he’s a Villa supporter, the made up vendetta on CCFC continues!

 

[kg82]

Goddamnit, which other team has an elephant on their crest?!

 

[procdoc]

2-1 win. Gyo and Maatsen

 

[djr8369]

Have reason to feel confident after recent performances but I wonder if this is a potential banana skin with players being tired after Saturday. 2-1 for me but not sure which way.

 

[Bertola]

Don't know what to expect, apart from a very different line up to Saturday. The effort they put in, will no doubtedly mean a lot of weary legs.

Not sure if I'm keen on Maatsen as the number 10. I rate him highly, but his finishing (fulham goal aside) is on a par with O'Hare's. Playing both of them there puts a lot of pressure on Viktor if he starts. Otherwise it'll be Waghorn.... and if he doesn't score early, I can see some fans getting on his back.

Even a jaded Viktor should be too much for Dicky Keogh to handle, so hopefully he's good to go

 

[Liquid Gold]

I'd start Waghorn and have 2 up top when going forward but for him to drop into an AM slot and play the box when we're holding on to the ball or in defence.

 

[AOM]

Goddamnit, which other team has an elephant on their crest?!

(I cheated)

 

[AOM]

Would bring Waghorn for Bidwell and Kane for Eccles.
Also McFadzean for Clarke-Salter if he's not quite fit.


Really could do with 3 points

 

[lifeskyblue]

Really tough game and the extra time Saturday has made it more difficult. Blackpool playing well and getting results recently.
Hopefully we take a couple early chances and can then relax a bit and rotate numbers early second half.

I think he'll start Waghorn alongside Vik.
He put an incredible shift in Saturday, hecould do with a slightly lighter work load tonight

 

[better days]

Think we all may be slightly surprised when tonight's line up is announced
Not many changes apart from anyone who picked up knocks on Saturday I suspect

He was dead on his feet going into extra time. Just hope he’s recovered enough for tonight.

 

[Marty]

Tired legs after Saturday, will be a poor game. 2-0 loss.

 

[Hutch11]

Got a soft spot for Blackpool , it's where we got Tommy Hutch from back in the day .
Still hope we smash them though

Godden?

 

[JeffB]

Just as long as we do not get some patronising Blackpool fan coming on to our Forum saying that we gave them a footballing lesson and we are the best side they have played all year after inflicting us with a 1-0 defeat. I am sick, tired and weary of this scenario.

Along with Gordon Milne & John Craven

Looks like majority have come through , Eccles has picked up an injury but not surprising after being out so long , so Kane should start .
Think Maatsen will start at LWB to hopefully combat Bowler , the back 3 have probably earned the right to keep their places
Can’t see MR going 2 up at the moment with no cover , so could be box formation with Shipley perhaps , the rest pick themselves

Can see the bench being fully utilised with Allen coming off the bench having a bigger impact than Shipley does when he comes on , that’s why I think Shipley will start

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Godden?

Id literally give the ST holders around me a free tug if God is back now.

[Great_Expectations]

Going to be late leaving work so I’ll be driving straight to the game which I don’t normally do.

Any advice on parking? I guess Tesco is the obvious one but there’s fines for over two hours isn’t there?
