Seems like we play great....play bad...play great..etc.
Therefore I fully expect a comfortable win.

Good to have a semi decent ref for a change.
Very wary about this game. New manager bounce etc.
We badly need a win otherwise we could slip out of top 6, because of international break.

They're last but one in the table, with a -9 goal difference.
We have to be looking at a win here, surely? I predict 3-1 City.

We should be looking at a win, but they have a new manager in Ian Evatt and a few players returning from injury..... and we will be missing Ng, Willock and probably Fish - with Lawlor getting over an injury even if available - so thin at the back. They are not the same prospect that they were a month ago, and we have hit an inconsistent patch.

I'm in Blackpool tonight but had completely missed that we are playing here tomorrow. Sadly leaving again about an hour before kick off

This is the sort of game we need to be winning to get our season back on track.
Not too many selection problems, particularly in defence
Trott
Kpakio
Chambers
Osho
Bagan
Wintlle
Colwill R
Cokwill J
Kellyman
Salech
Ashford

I would love to find a spot for Robinson, but then it's a choice between Salech or Colwill R.
2-0 City win.

Blackpool have won just two of their last 17 league games against Cardiff City (D6 L9), with those wins coming in February 2012 and October 2014.

Cardiff City have won each of their last two away league games against Blackpool, as many as across their prior 24 visits to Bloomfield Road between 1969 and 2014.

Blackpool have lost each of their last four league games against sides from Wales, only once have they suffered a longer losing streak against Welsh teams, a five-match spell between February 1978 and April 1981.

With 26 points across their opening 13 league games this season, Cardiff are enjoying their best start to a league campaign since 2017-18 when they were eventually promoted to the Premier League (27 through 13 matches that season).

Re: BLACKPOOL v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

It will be a nervy afternoon imo. Position in the table will count for nothing.

Bolton, Bourton and now Blackpool Can we please play a team that doesn’t start with B to settle my anxiety.
