Opposing View: Blackpool

Vital Blackpool Editor Simon Heaney gives us the lowdown on the faltering Tangerines...

How has the season gone compared to your expectations?

We certainly expected to be higher up. Many had visions of top two, play off's as almost a fall back.

Yet now we are not clear of relegation. Very sad really as the league could have been set up for us this year.

The fact we then have ended up a managerial merry go round has really messed things up. That and our horrific pitch

Where will Blackpool finish this season?

Would accept mid-table. Would love is to go on a mad run of victories and hit the play off's, but safety will honestly do!

Paul Ince - underwhelmed or...?

I like his interviews and the way he talks about the game and plans.

Not quite sure of reverting to 4-4-2, we have got used to outlandish entertainment!

I think next year is the better time to judge him though.

Key player on Saturday?

Tom Ince. Been patchy of late so maybe due a hat trick!

One player you'd drive to his next club?

Last time I said Broadfoot, but he has switched to centre and been a lot better. So I now seek his forgiveness.

One Watford player you'd poach?

Quite a few! The Udinese guys seem to have settled and clicked. Playing good, attractive football which is good to watch.

Any injuries/suspensions?

Gary Taylor-Fletcher is out for the season as well as Matt Evatt and Tiago Gomes.

We have a massive squad which suddenly looks a little thin if that makes sense?

Match prediction?

3-0 Blackpool (puts down pot of glue). That more a hope - we need points!

Cheers Simon - and don't try the above at home kids!
