What a pile of crap. The nearest stand looks like a keyboard and what the f@#k is that blue and white thing?

Is it from the gas? It looks like it say's BRFC. Oh, on the other hand, it might have come from Blackburn, as they are blue and white as well.

If we play the eay we have in the last 3 games, we can take all 3 points today.  Who is fit will be key - If Antoinne and Andi are fit we could thrash them, especially if Tommy Conway is fit too.

I know JD has had a couple of decent games, but I still think Cam Pring gives us more in that area of the pitch.

If Andi plays in midfield, I am wondering which other two will be selected in the middle - one holding and one more attacking or as we are away from home, two holding midfielders.

Sykes and Wilson both seem decent at RB but Alex Scott does a great job there too. My preference would be Sykes with Scott on the bench unless one of the 3 more forward players are not fit as he can play creatively in behind two strikers (which I think it is more natural position).

Never fancy our chances against Blackpool. Am I right in saying they’re a bit of a bogey side?

[Nogbad the Bad]

Another excellent match preview @Jerseybean.

Hav was an exceptionally tough act to follow but you're doing a great job.

How many times have we thrashed Blackpool away from home. I hope you are right but I think it will be a tough game and I would be happy with a point and keep the run going. I have these nightmare memories of  going to Blackpool and being hammered by 6 goals I think when we had a chance of the playoffs. COYR.

Watching Sunderland v Norwich. Sunderland right at it, Norwich very ordinary.  Think Sunderland will get a bit sussed in time, huge gaps behind Gooch and Clarke.

Blimey, what's happened to you lately?

I'm loving the new found optimism don't get me wrong, it's just not what I expected!

I have found that by projecting my natural happy clapper based positivity onto OTIB starting at Coventry MDT, I have brought about a change in our performances and given Nige a much needed new lease of life at BCFC. 

 

P.s dont forget what I did for Matt Smith- he still send me Christmas cards.

Sykes is suspended remember.

Yep. This is the final game of that suspension. He'll be available for Huddersfield.

With an accompanying stinking bag of gone off Offal as a present?

Will never forget that. Thought exactly the same that day but kept those thoughts to myself. Heat of the moment and all that ....

Same 11 as Cardiff. Strong bench.

[BCFCGav]

No Klose on the bench meaning no natural centre-half on the bench. Maybe a knock? Otherwise very very happy ️

[ralphindevon]

Worryingly, the comments on the cubs twitter team announcement are the most positive ive ever seen.

Usually they're doom and gloom even when we go on and win

[redkev]

Would have preferred either a klose or pring on the bench than a James or king 

could of had one of each . Like others have said very decent bench though .

That was my first reaction, too. An injury to one of the back three and we have a problem. Otherwise, fine.

[Red white and red]

Kalas nearly ready to play? 

[Mr Popodopolous]

That's positive to see the same side.

Semenyo on the bench also offers a nice option and that set-up also offers the chance to morph easily into a 4-3-3 in-game.

       Vyner Naismith Atkinson

Scott Massengo Williams DaSilva

                      Weimann

                  Wells Conway

With couple of subtle tweaks, ie Scott moving inside, Vyner to narrow RB and DaSilva to LB you have a 4-3-3. Or a 4-3-1-2 if you prefer.
