Match Thread v Blackpool (A)

[Romanis]

Daviess an attacking line-up for a change:

Darlow

Fox, Hobbs, Halford, Lascelles

Jara, Reid, Mackie, Moussi

Cox, Djebbour

[Romanis]

Some options on the bench too - Hendo, Pato, Derbyshire and Majewski. Defense - Collins, Harding.

Taking a bit of a risk might well pay off for Davies.

[Romanis]

In the early games, Liverpool run riot thrashing Arsenal 5-1 while Leeds despite their off field issues secure a 2-1 win at Yowvil!

[Romanis]

Blackpool are adopting a somewhat strange formation 3-5-1-1. They believe packing the midfield will curtail our 4-4-2 formation.

Unfortunately there appears no streams or rivers today, so I guess I'll be camping here amusing myself!

[Romanis]

Elsewhere the leaders are a goal down to Watford whilst struggling Barnsley are ahead in their match with Dipswitch.

[Romanis]

6th placed Reading are also behind to Weds. The Tangerines are shading possession at this stage.

[Romanis]

Watford again take a 2 goal lead, but Leicester pull 1 back quickly. Still 1-1 at Burnley, Barnsley leading Ipswich 1-0 and Weds lead by the same score over Reading

[Romanis]

Yes, on the stroke of half-time, Lascelles scores.

[Romanis]

1 nil up at HT. Elsewhere Burnley also get a goal they are 2-1 ahead, while Leicester, Ipswich and Reading all trail.

Come on Billy urge the guys to go for it and kill them off. They obviously have to abandon their stifling tactics now that they trail, that could open a way in for us to get another.

[Romanis]

An hour gone and we still lead, as do Burnley while Leicester and Reading trail.

Chelsea cruising over Newcastle but City are still unable to break Norwich down.
