A great week for Blackpool in two contrasting games. Tuesday saw us battle to three points by defending well against a physical side who tried hard to stop us at all costs. The late goal from Martinez gave us a deserved win but it was close, with the result better than the style.
By contrast, in what was expected to be a close-fought local derby game, with pressure on the team to maintain their play off ambitions, the team went out and prevailed with an abundance of verve and class, scoring four goals, but again keeping a clean sheet and to a man, playing well, building on a great display from Gilks in the first half to go on and thrash Burnley. It’s a great time to get back into form, with a place now confirmed in the playoffs and the fans starting to dare to dream again.
By contrast, the majority of our rivals have hit a bit of a lean spell, so we’ll go into the games in confident form. Much of that is down to the manager keeping faith with certain players and also judiciously adding to the mix, whether by bringing back the likes of Martinez, or getting Dobbie in on loan, who has added that spark to our attacking play.
All the squad know that we have strength in depth in all positions, and are playing well to keep their shirts.
STARMAN (v Leeds): MARTINEZ
