currently playing for portsmouth,though not had much first team action judging by his appearence stats

For those travelling parking on Bloomfield is a nightmare most machines are out some are taking coins only £6 in coins whilst the parking app is having issues taking card payments on the phone 🤬took 49 mins to get a valid parking ticket

Wouldn't Carter play Right Back? He played left back well earlier in the season and did okay? He's right footer I think?

With things getting a bit makeshift I would avoid moving Pickering as well.

                          Kaminski

Carter.     Lenihan.   Ayala.   Pickering

                 Travis.     Rothwell

     Dolan.         Buckley.       Brereton

                         Gallagher

Subs : Pears, Edun, Johnson, Khadra,  Butterworth, Poveda, McBride

Very thin at the back.

Magloire starts. Time to bet big on Blackpool - he's not a Championship level player.

His inclusion also screams to me "Buckley at right back with a back three" which to my knowledge is a formation that Tony has tried time and again and it literally never works.

[Bigdoggsteel]

I can't believe Magloire is starting. I know we are stuck for players, but surely we could have done something else? He looks miles off it. I really, really hope he proves me wrong because a win here would give us serious momentum and a great level of accomplishment before the break. Lose and we are looking at midtable and just a point ahead of Blackpool 

[benhben]

How on Earth is Magolore starting. he was utterly abysmal midweek. Edun must not be impressing in training. 

Think I'd even take Bennett at RB above Magolore. 

At least he's not CB which was a disaster. 

EDIT....ermmm please don't be a back 3

Is the match on TV live?

[Miker]

I suspect Magloire might be decent for us tonight. He struggles against the better Championship teams, but against a team like Blackpool who have just come up from League One I think he will do okay.

Still think he’s miles off it, but hoping it won’t be a complete disaster!

[West Yorks Rover]

Don't worry folks Poveda is on the bench and raring to go.

He was one of Hudds best players the other night, I was hoping he might have picked up a niggle in training.

No unless you live abroad

[Mercer]

Rovers win today in a high scoring thriller.  Think Dick Keogh always has been an accident waiting to happen - a sandwich short of a picnic!

At almost 2/1, a great chance to get the Christmas fund going.

[davulsukur]

Big risk starting Magloire but thats what happens when you have a threadbare squad.

It's nothing to do with not impressing. It's Mowbray getting these ideas in his head about who is ready and who isn't. Sometimes he puts them straight in, sometimes waits too long and there is no consistency as to his decision making process around this

He struggled physically the other night,so i think this is a bad game for him 

[K-Hod]

Probs the best line up we could have fielded, given the circumstances. COYB.

Or register with Blackpool FC TV and pay £10 for a match pass. That's what I have done. 

[simongarnerisgod]

blackpool will targeting magloire no doubt,he`s not up to it physically imo

[WacoRover]

so young & thin at the back 

[booth]

Selecting Magloire after such a terrible performance mid-week just shows Tony is still bafflingly bonkers when it comes to picking a team. Unfair to pick him and can't be good for his confidence.

[TruRover]

Why did we loan out pike…

Poor management. Arrogance. Stupidity. Take your pick.

I take it you haven't seen how our defence is lining up then. Either that or you're just relentlessly mercering regardless.
