Blackpool v Leeds - Team/Reports/Ratings

Post by **1964white** » Mon Dec 23, 2013 6:52 pm

I fear the worst in this fixture, the Seasiders haven't won in 5 or 6 games if my memory serves me right but no doubt they will torment us with their pace & silky passing game as we continue to hoof the ball into the sea

Interesting team selection posers for BM :

Our best midfielder of late Murphy is suspended
Our best player overall Z is a doubt
Sam doesn't look the same player as last season
Mowatt looks to be struggling

Really hope our No.24 if fit & our No.44 has his shooting boots on or else we are doomed

Oh I forgot we do have Tom Lees & Rudi Austin to call upon

Chin up there 1964 just another game and wer`e on the march so to speak aren`t we unbeaten in what three .And they don`t look that good and you know, decent enough side that they are they to me struggle to score goals. How that for upbeat . MOT.

There is the option of resorting to 4-4-2 with Pugh and Byram as wingers, Warnock and Peltier as full backs. Should offer us enough pace and strength out wide to neutralise Blackpool's wingers. Austin and Mowatt in the center. McCormack and Smith up front. I would genuinely fear for our back 3 if Z wasn't there, I think he makes that formation tick.

I'm confident in Brian's plans but I wouldn't be overly confident if we just do Wooton for Zaliukas and Tonge for Murphy.

Just concerned two of our better players which are part of the spine of the team maybe missing, Murphy is definitely out, Zaliukas would be a major loss !

Yes I am going Paddy

Rochdale & Sheff Wed tickets on the sideboard

Don't count on Kommander Z. Egg said in today's presser he was "hopeful but it's very doubtful he wil play"

Here's the horrible stamp by tugay:

A deliberate stamp? Of course he got red carded. Should be banned for life. Crap like that should be eliminated from football. unnecessary and mercenary.

Thing is, its not of course he got red carded. Offenses similar to this gets overlooked waaay to often.

Was bad in real time, but looks worse the more you watch it. I agree that suspensions should be extended above the standard 2 (or 3) you get for a straight red for things like this - looks deliberate, and he left his foot in for a long time after the initial contact.

My quotes are valid as they relate to our better players, every game is winnable but our away form is average at best so going into a difficult fixture without our best eleven doesn't feel me with confidence as our back up is limited somewhat, we certainly don't seem to have a player off the bench who can change a game !

Maybe that's the odds at the bookies 6/1 for us to win !!!! We're due to beat Blackpool and even things up after that master class of goalkeeping by Rachubka so I'm sticking a fiver on 2-0 Leeds.

Have a feeling BM will set his stall out not to lose this rather than try to win it, dangerous tactic, which with our defence could easily backfire if he does.
