Good or bad time to play Blackpool?

They are bottom 3 material, we are top 6 material with pretensions of playing in the Prem. If we can't beat them at home with so much at stake then we don't deserve to go up.

They are in total meltdown to the point where they are literally in-fighting which means a quick early goal will totally destroy them.

Good time.

It's the perfect game to see if our players actually give a crap about making the play-offs and getting promoted.

If Blackpool show more endeavour and fight in their game than we do then that shows categorically that this team needs to be broken up and a whole new squad brought in.

They are in freefall. Staying up is now a Tangerine Dream. Excellent time to play them.

I still firmly believe two more wins will be enough. Blackpool are in total free fall and Yeovil may well be down by Friday. True we could have been playing two teams with nothing to play for, but then people would say they can relax and play without fear. Truth is we could not have hand picked two better games to have at home. As others have already said, if we don't win both games at home then we don't deserve to finish 6th.

Get an early goal and we will obliterate them again.

I agree. We played Leeds when they had nothing to play for and they gave us a bloody good game despite having 1 man less for about 80 minutes.

I will be pleasantly surprised if we win them both. I do not see football as being like that. One does not always get what one 'deserves'. I see a win in one and a draw in the other as likely which will take us to Nottingham Forest and anything can happen there. Our home record over the season does not suggest easy success in any home game, whatever the opposition, we are not that good !!! We need to battle and trust to the bit of luck any side needs.

I think I would prefer to play Yeovil with them needing a win and having to attack us.

Similar to yourself I feel if we can win these two, it could be enough.

Very much agree. An up tempo start is essential but we have our part to play. If things don't go our way early on, the fans need to be patient and keep encouraging the players. Just for these three games, if we can all push in the same direction it might just make all the difference. I don't care how we win now as long as we win.
