Let us move on from that demoralising defeat on Tuesday night, as we have had to do several times in this season of turmoil on the pitch, where being trounced by the opposition has become annoyingly frequent under this coach and his kamikaze tactics.
Next game it’s newcomers to the Championship, Blackpool, L1 play-off winners last season and doing well so far. In our home fixture we could only draw with them, so hoping to go one better today.
Inevitably Manning’s red card appeal was turned down on Thursday and he’s been ruled out for 4 instead of 3 matches after being sent off for the second time this season, he will be a big miss.
Some good news though as Ogbeta is in the squad for the first time and Wolf is back after Covid isolation. Downes has also recovered after limping off against Fulham.
Good luck to the team and the estimated two thousand Jack Army supporters who are making the long trip.
