Blackpool

Before the game Robins talked about the dangers of Blackpool’s attack, and how import it would be to stop them dead. That we did. There was not a second when any Blackpool player had any type of control over the game, which we commanded for 90 minutes. Our defence was rock solid; I can’t remember [...]

The Reds have pissed on Ian Holloway’s Bonfire today with a deserved win at Oakwell.Always the one for a subtle summary, according to BBC Sport, Holloway moaned, “Our bonfire’s not even smoking. Let’s hope it sparks for us next week.”Barnsley FC Fans, …

** Cardiff 1-1 Blackpool **

Blackpool pay a visit to fellow promotion hopefuls Cardiff City.

Cardiff’s first match of 2010 turned out to be similar to their last one of 2009 – a dmineering first half and a lead but a poor 2nd half and having to concede a full time draw. Unlike the collapse at Peterborough, Cardiff were able to point to injur…

Even at his best, Gavin Rae is still the Cardiff City equivalent of Marmite – loved by many, loathed by as many so when he’s been a shadow of himself in recent weeks, you know that means not very good at all. His detractors were therefore pr…

Unless your team was unfortunate enough to be struck by bad weather (particularly Barnsley), you may realise we are now at the halfway point of the Championship season. 23 games gone and all of sudden ambitions become a bit clearer for clubs.

Sierra Leone is a football crazy nation, with the beautiful game offering a much needed diversion from the disasters that have befallen the nation over many years. Sierra Leone has enjoyed some successes over the years, by beating some of their more illustrious neighbours. However, these minor successes have never had the chance to lead [...]

Err…’The Oscar for Football’

If they gave out Oscars or Nobles for football management, Mark Robins would be staring an academy award down the throat. Although Holloway’s offensive 4-3-3 wiped out our standard 4-4-2 from the start, Robin’s thought about it, and made a series of tactical changes to which the Blackpool manager had no answers. [...]

The Blackpool manager Ian Holloway has had the Arsenal youngster Jay Thomas on loan since the beginning of the season, and has let him return to the Emirates reluctantly!
Thomas played 11 games for Blackpool, scoring twice, and Holloway thinks he has the potential to be a brilliant player.
“He certainly gave me food for thought with [...]

It is probably against all the rules of a blog to direct the reader away in the first paragraph, but I think it’s worth it.

Fun, isn’t [...]

In a game many fans thought would bring a new look and the chance to see our reserve players show off turned into a dismall show of football. There may be many reasons for this but what it will do is put the whole team down, it was not like there wasnt exprienced players in [...]

Changes seem to be likely with Chris Kirkland and Jordi Gomez both picking up knocks. While i suspect other changes will be less forth coming although players who played internationals will be rested it is believed so that looks like Figuroe, Hendry, Roddellega, Scharner, Koumas will not feature. Which is right this will allow the [...]

It would be unfair of me to give a full opinion of the draw at Blackpool when I wasn’t there. I’m quite happy with the result because every point away from home is valuable but it’s the game on Saturday that will tell us if it was a decent point or not. There are a [...]
