    Team Against Blackpool

    I read that GB thinks the team might need tweaking to give some players a rest. (I always have my doubts about this "tiredness" thing, but that's a different issue).

    We have to see this as a chance not only to win, but to score three or four. I doubt if Marshall will be fit from what I've read, so we need to have both King and Conway on the park. At the same time, I feel both Rhodes and Gestede need to play. I'd therefore like to see a line-up such as:

    Steele
    Henley Duffy Kilgallon Olsson
    Conway Cairney Spearing King
    Rhodes Gestede

    This team is a bit light on tacklers, but it has lots of pace, and GB has to go into a game like this with a positive mindset.

    I wonder if the "tweaking" Bowyer mentions might involve giving Henley and Olsson a rest by bringing in Baptiste and Spurr. Or perhaps Brown for Gestede. (I doubt if it will involve "resting" Hanley!)

    Should be good game. Josh King will he keep his place in the team?
