The free weekend puts even more emphasis on how important the next game for Blackpool is. The game at Ewood Park takes on crucial importance after last week’s defeat to another of our relegation rivals.. With the gap at only four points, it’s essential that we get something out of the game. In all likelihood, a win goes a huge way to ensuring our safety, with maybe one more win needed after that.
The club has underperformed this season after such a promising start, disrupted by a succession of managerial changes and a sense of drifting along rather than taking the bull by the horns and really going for it. It’s been a frustrating season because in all truth, no one side has really stood out and looked better than us. The sooner we can ensure safety and put this season behind us the better. With eight games to go, I remain convinced that we have enough about us to ensure we gather the points needed to guarantee that and then go into a summer of change where Paul Ince can get the squad he wants and start afresh.
With two games over the forthcoming weekend, and a large support expected to travel to Blackburn, it would be great to get maximum points. That trip is followed by the return of Ian Holloway. He gave us three wonderful years, but it’s no time for sentiment as the need for the win is overwhelming.
It’s time for the fans to get right behind the team and ensure we survive; any recriminations can wait until after the end of the season.
