Blackpool v Bolton Official Matchday Thread 17.02.24

Going to be a big crowd looking at the ticket sales so far.
As always we need to cheer the lads on and it should be a fantastic atmosphere all round the ground. If and I think we will win on Saturday then Tuesday nights disappointment will be forgotten for most. League game most important and Critchley needs to get his team selections and subs spot on. Start the league games with the strongest 11 every game and get goals then make decent subs(goals win games not possession). I don’t accept squad rotations needed every game. Most teams play a settled side which is something we havent done all season under critchley

cmon the mighty pool. 3 points please 🧡🤍🧡🤍🧡🤍
 
Hope I’m wrong but I just can’t see anything other than all the points going to Bolton.
It’s something like 25/26 years since they last won here so it’s long overdue.
We just looked like a team that haven’t played together on Tuesday night and I honestly feel Bolton are a better/stronger side than Peterborough.
We simply have to put our best starting 11 out sadly Critchley is still working out who it is. 😩
 
Massive game after a great win and v good 2nd half at Peterborough last week. Dembele should be fresh after only playing about an hour over the last week. Fringe players from Tuesday can return to the bench. Got to get at them from the off!

Pretty sure you can make that more like 47 years since they won here
 
Only 14 tickets left in the whole of the north stand. West not too many left and two thirds sold in the south. Should be a belting atmosphere if we start well and play well for the full 90 minutes instead of 45 with the strongest 11 on the pitch from minute 1.
 
The players owe is after that shambolic display on Tuesday night. What I’d go with (sticking to the bollocks formation we MUST not deviate from):

Grimmy

Casey
Ekpiteta
Pennington

Gabriel
Dembele
Norburn
Byers
Lyons

Lavery
Joseph

Subs: O’Donnell, Pennington, Husband Morgan, CJ, Virtue, Kouassi

Husband been poor for a while, Morgan was awful on Tuesday and needs dropping as a kick up the arse. Don’t want see Connolly in a tangerine shirt ever again.

We’re playing Bolton. Not Real Madrid. Play our best team and just go for it

I agree but with that team there is only 1 left footed player in Dembele in the team. Husband, despite being awful for a decent spell now, plays because of a lack of left footed players in the squad ! Another failing of our recruitment process.

Good lad.

Enough of this ‘we will lose’ sh1te.

This is a serious game and we’re not gong to mess about. If you will it to happen, it usually does.

Exactly . Also if you can’t get up for a game against any of our local rivals then what can you get up for?

It’s not as if our season is over. We are still well in contention of the play offs. 6 points away with 13 games to go.

If we beat in Bolton I will forget Tuesday night quite quickly.
 
After the shit show on Tuesday these players have to perform… a bit like after the shit show last Tuesday ! Losing 0-3 to Peterborough bizzarely could be argued as pretty good preparation for a match of this magnitude. There’s literally no excuses. This is our season now.
