v Blackpool (a) - 31/8/22

[Andy]

I get the theory of having Dolan up top, but I really can’t remember his last genuinely good game.

Really hope Adam Wharton starts, looks the real deal.

And agreed on most opinions on Markanday - surely worth a shot now?

[yankfan]

Poveda available for Blackpool tonight...cant wait to watch him walk around the pitch not giving a toss in a different jersey.

Morton for Wharton and I reckon you'll be Bob on with that.

We couldn’t last year, in their first season back at that level.

Hear on good info that Ayala is out tonight. Hyam and Phillips at CB. A.Wharton gets a start next to Morton, Trav at RB

That is true. He was due to have a scan today on a calf injury. 

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Beyond a joke now. The most injury prone centre half I’ve ever heard of. Wasn’t it only last week he was saying how great it was to be fit again ?

Where’s Carter then ? On the bench ?

Worrying if Ayala is out, always a good chance it's for a good few months when he gets injured.

Ledley King was injury prone, played for Spurs, loved by the supporters, they understood he wouldn't play ever game.

He did manage 260 appearances in 12yrs.

Ayala is absolute class in this league, as fans we need to understand he'll not play every game, but can we afford that luxury?

I’ve heard of centre halves who’s knees were that bad they couldn’t train indoors. They still turned out every game though.

It’s not like Ayala misses the odd game. He gets injuries out of nowhere and then he goes missing for months.

i wonder if povedo has reverted to being a stone overweight 🙂

[Tricky]

Hope BBD features otherwise he's as good as gone

I suspect so although I didn't hear who the substitutes were.

His shirt is on a peg in the changing room if that helps.

More importantly, hide Vale's quick!

Probably best to assume we will be outfought, out-thought, outgunned and leave stunned. It worked for me last week at Bratfud. Maybe my optimistic pessimism will do the trick once again...?

Hoping for a good performance, on the back of an improved second half against Stoke. Just need the rub of the green to get the ball in the net (theirs anyway) and away we go...

I'd say if Diaz is on the teamsheet we are looking at a no-sale this window. If not, then it would likely mean he is off - although having said that, the other side of having a limited arsenal for bringing players in is that there are few troops available to manage them out...I mean, has Waggot actually got the fax machine to cough yet?

Back to tonight - 

COYB!

I’ll wait whilst I see the team but I’m expecting a weakened side turning out tonight. We’ve been beyond unlucky with injuries. I’m wondering when we’ll be able to field our best 11.
