Views from the Match Thread ahead of kick-off:
Scotimp: “Some surprising forecasts on the AVFTT forum, some of whom are predicting a big win for Blackpool.
4-0 or 4-1 has been mentioned. Should we be afraid?
Everyone supports their own club and believes their players to be far superior to everyone else’s, but are they right to be so confident? Here are the hard numbers:
Blackpool 2020-21:
P5 W2 D0 L3 F2 A3
Lincoln 2020-21:
P7 W6 D0 L1 F16 A10 (7 scored by Liverpool).
Without the Liverpool game:
P6 W6 D0 L0 F14 A3
Blackpool scorers (2):
2: Hamilton
Lincoln scorers (16):
4: Montsma
2: Grant, Hopper, Scully
1: Anderson, Edun, Jackson, Jones, Morton, OG
So, Lincoln’s newbie centre-half has scored twice as many goals as Blackpool so far.”
JT_LCFC: “Always thought Hamilton was destined for the Championship under Flitcroft at Mansfield but often flattered to deceive. Probably the move will do him good.
I would take a point, Blackpool have had a big turn around of personnel and have been one of few clubs to open the cheque book.”
sedgleyimp: “Afternoon all. Hope everyone is fine and dandy under the wet clouds which seem to be covering the majority of the country.
Tough game today but they all are. Optimistic of a decent result.”
