We must win after fielding a weakened team, also if we need to win to keep comfortable in the play offs and show we are looking upwards rather than down.
0-2 Charlton - COYR
We 'must win'? No such thing in football mate. Just wish Fosu was in the side and on top of his game, can be so creative. Blackpool are a more than decent side and if we are not on top of our game they will beat us. Obviously hoping for a win but will settle for a point. 1-1
You always have must win games, relegation / promotion games. However on this one i just think solely on the basis we didn't give a hoot about the FA cup game and rested the majority of our team, would seem pointless if we dont get a result tomorrow IMO.
Using that logic you may as well say the Portsmouth game is also a 'must win'. Saturday's result will not affect either our promotion hopes or our chances of relegation. Sure, if they don't turn up and give 100% on Saturday then the knives will be out. There are months to go before any game becomes a 'must win' and there will be games like Coventry - where we smashed them off the pitch and lost - and Burton where we played badly and nicked the points.
Of course it will. All points one or lost directly affect our promotion hopes
Naturally. The point I have simply been trying to make is that this ONE game is not the be all and end all of our season. It is NOT a 'must win' scenario.
Once again the Football League website doesnt want to update the Referee's officiating this weekend - If anyone is able to source who the man in black / green / orange / whatever will be on Saturday I'll update the thread accordingly
Tony Harrington from Cleveland is the referee mate! Sky bet championship referee
Safe travels. Expect no more than 1,500 home fans if that. Our Trust normally stand outside the main entrance, please pop along and say hello and please do not buy anything in the ground. Oh, and it will be cold and probably wet and the trains are likely to be "SouthEasterney". Good Luck....p.s. 2.1 Pool.

How many clowns have bought a season ticket to line the pockets of the board?
I'd have Sarr at left back, Solly on the right and something tells me that Bowyer considers Reeves a little too lightweight for the really competitive games .. so Dijk in the middle (appropriate for holding back the tide) and I'd go for Lapslie instead of Bielik.
Blackpool 0 v CAFC 1
I would have agreed with your team and your prediction but now we need a replacement for Ward. Clarke and Reeves are more like for like but neither is match ready yet. Maybe Marshall for his work-rate rather than Fosu?
Does the fact that Bow made so many changes for the FA Cup make it more important that we should target at least four points from Blackpool and Pompey?
NO!
The FA Cup has nothing to do with it. The situation is no different to before the FA Cup. Regardless to what happened in the FA Cup it was always going to be important hat we should target at least four points from Blackpool and Pompey. That is because the table is so incredibly tight in and around the chasing pack for the play-offs and there is little marging for too much error.
How is Fosu getting into peoples sides ahead of Marshall still? At least Marshall puts 100% in!
Because Fosu plays at the top of the diamond; Marshall on the other hand would play on the flanks
It's been weeks... Nay months since he's played at all. He might of been on the pitch but he looked like he was training half arsed more than playing...
Don't care how bad Reeves was last week playing for the reserves, in the Coventry home game when he shouldn't have been taken off and Doncaster and Barnsley League matches he was excellent.
Cullen is the major loss for me as Clark will be playing catch up for the rest of the season.

Seriously, are the gates that low? I know the main stand is always empty but - 1,500!?

Phillips. Fosu. Belik. Reeves. Ajose. Morgan. Hackett-Fairchild.
This would be my line up based on recent form.
I predict a b*st*rd homer ref and a depressing unjustified 0-1 defeat that leaves you feeling as bad as if it had been 0-5.
Should win 3-0 seeing as the rest of the players are fit as fiddles. Won't though as the omens for winning in December are against us.
2-0 home win.
I think we will overcome the December curse and our terrible form in the north-west and grab a 1-0 win during a turgid performance.

If we can win on Saturday, it will leave us in a great position for Tuesday to really go and have a go at Portsmouth without any fear.
Time to get behind Bowyer and the lads. 4 points from these 2 will be lovely.
Won’t be there tomorrow but will be at Pompey on Tuesday
Come on you reds
