Very difficult match this one. While not exactly free scoring the Tangerines are only behind Pompey and Sunderland in goals conceded. I think a battling 1-0 to the mighty yellows with James Henry continuing his goal scoring form.
COYY
 
No way the attendance will be that low!

Id like to think it wont be sub 5k, however, its gonna be bitterly cold, (Met forecast for tomorrow afternoon is temperature of 2 degrees, Rain, 20mph wind plus a 'feels like' outside temperature of -5 degrees- making the Breeze block feel even more sub zero morgue like!), and, with a mere 10 days inclusive to go until Christmas day, tomorrow is a Saturday shopping day too, one of the busiest shopping days of the year....both the weather conditions as well as time of year seasonal requirements to be fulfilled, both of which combined are highly likely to have an effect on the attendance

Conversely, the Boxing day home match will, of course, have a larger than 'usual' attendance for a home game against Southend, as by tradition Boxing day home games tend to attract occasionals. Win, or at least not lose, our next 3 games, & that may see the attendance for the home match V Brizzle Rovers a few days after Boxing Day being close to 10k
 
0-0 imo. Keep the unbeaten run going and ill be happy. Blackpool are a decent side
I refer you to my comment in previous thread - draws are far more valuable than they seem and help keep our heads above water
 
2-1
Blackpool are a good side and arent a set of pushovers. However, we are playing free flowing attacking football and from minute 40-70 last week cut Peterborough open at will. Blackpool like to get down the pitch as quick as possible so Dickie going to have to be on form to stop the aerial threat. Brannagan midfield masterclass (again) aslong as we stop Spearing we'll comfortably win the midfield battle.

I would make 1 change to the team and that would be Long in for Hanson.

Eastwood
Long Nelson Dickie Ruffels
Mousinho
Henry Brannagan
Whyte Mackie Browne

Goals:Nelson and Henry
