Tactics tomorrow

[res]

 Blackpool players will be playing without fear and possibly for their personal contract renewals. Probably pacey but without team discipline but likely to score.
If we play a holding game, we'll get beat given our defensive frailties...and if we do lose, we're down. So we must plan aggressively, Ross must stay up front with, like it or not, lots of balls lumped up to Matt Smith...with Rodders possibly reappearing at some stage. Having Parker/Tunnicliffe/Kavanagh/Hoogland in midfield will not work.
I've got this down as a 3-2 win to us as long as we push forward and forget about just holding the game..we've got to gamble a bit. If we play a holding game, and lose, we deserve to go down

...the only tactic we employ is a draw of attrition...

I'm afraid the truly are tic tacs

Keeping it tight at the back, especially at set pieces, has to be a priority!

Hit them on the break -ideally early, before they score!!

You think with the pitch this will be a game that suits the long ball up to Smith. The big man is in great form anyway, and hopefully McCormack will be fit enough to partner him.

I'm shortly off to the game, and my record has been good this season. Out of  four away games Brum, Leeds, Blackburn and Huddersfield, I've seen 3 wins, and was also at THAT Great Escape game at City.

We should have great support there, and our support is always brilliant anyway, so let's hope for a good result for Fulham that will, with other results, banish/greatly ease our relegation fears.

and if we do lose, we're down

Well that is not exactly true now is it, maybe you should just change is slightly to read "we could be down"

Diamond formation.
