The Blackpool home game that always comes to mind ahead of this fixture is 2009 when we won 2-1 (Rasiak late winner) and it turned out to be Brendan Rodgers only home league win for us, after the game Rodgers went round to every stand like he had just won the league - and I thought the tide was going to start to turn for him (it didn't) - it was also p*ssing down that night like it is forecast to be later.
Like a lot of people are saying - we definitely cannot underestimate Blackpool, if they beat us tonight they would only be a point behind.
On the other side of the coin, what an opportunity for us to get in the POs tonight ahead of the inevitable points deduction. Huge carrot for the players and if they play how we know they can then we would hopefully have enough to overcome the visitors.
Would be great to have a couple of first teamers back - even if that meant Halilovic and Hoilett available from the bench.
Looking forward to what will be a very wet evening at the Mad Stad!
