Pre-match views from the Match Thread:
HitherImp: “We always seem to play better against the more challenging teams, strangely, so I am hopeful of a result today even without the perpetually dented Ben House (get well soon, Ben!). Much depends on their pitch maintenance whether the ball will run or whether we’ll have to punt it: Montsma travelling, perhaps, to give us the long diagonals option?
Have a safe trip, everyone who’s braving the weather to cheer the lads on!”
Scotimp: “As posted on a different thread, 9 of the 13 league goals Blackpool have conceded have come after 75 minutes. Shame House is missing, we will not have pace off the bench that we may have had otherwise.
EDIT: and only two of the 16 goals they have scored have come in that same period.
Poor fitness? Poor concentration?”
Luke Imp: “Interesting to see how we manage McGrandles through this week given that we have Grimsby in the Cup next week and now the Wrexham game off. Probably a bit of scope to play him longer than we were planning on doing now.”
