Their run in is horrendous!

Leeds v Blackpool
Blackpool v Burnley
Brighton v Blackpool
Wigan v Blackpool
Blackpool v Charlton

What with natives very restless and wanting the board sacked and Ferguson not having a Scooby what he is doing, I can see them going down.

That last game against Charlton could be tasty!

Yes me too. Managerless and dropping like a stone. Millwall seem to have got their game together a bit, and could well catch them.

You do have a way with words.

Exactly. The true meaning of "peaking too early". Great start to the season but shocking since. On their form, they deserve relegation.

Alright Mr Fussy Pants!

Yes agree about peaking too early, but will it be enough to stay up?

Leeds can't buy a win at the moment (mainly because they're skint but also because they're on some shocking form) and you just know they'll beat us. That's 6 points. Probably knick it against Charlton on the last day too to stay up.

I said months ago I thought that Blackpool would go down. Fair play for them giving a young manager (albeit a player-manager) a chance, but given the situation they were in they needed stability in the form of an experienced manager.

Are we playing them 3 times this season then?
