Newcastle United travel to Blackpool this weekend on the back of a 0-0 result against Manchester United in midweek and have one win, two draws and three defeats from their last six games. Blackpool go into the game on the back of five defeats and a draw from their last six.

Alan Pardew will be looking at Blackpool’s recent home form and hoping to seize all three points from the game. Ian Holloway’s side have lost their last 3 home games 3-1, whilst Pardew takes his side to Bloomfield Road on a high and with no suspensions, meaning Kevin Nolan will be named in the starting eleven.

Steve Harper (knee) remains side-lined after a minor operation, Danny Guthrie (foot) could be out for the rest of the season, whilst Ben Arfa (broken leg), Leon Best (ankle), Dan Gosling (knee), Alan Smith (ankle) are all absent through long term injuries.

Holloway is without David Carney (shoulder) and Basham (broken leg), but Charlie Adam (foot) returns to fitness as does David Vaughan (hip).

Fact: Newcastle last won at Bloomfield Road in April 1971.

Fact: Of the 60 previous meetings between the two sides there have been 26 wins a piece and 8 draws.

Fact: Nolan has made 299 Premier League appearances.

That was a dangerous place for a free kick.

And again.

Not the worst result, as Blackpool are figthing for their lives and form goes out of the window when you get to this stage of the season. But we should have been looking for 3 points

But we need more depth and quality especially up front, as Shola and Lovenkrands are not going to be the answer next season

It's a point I'll take especially as there were quite a few draws today. It means we're still 9th with another away game out the way. Do think we rode our luck today so don't think we can complain too much.

We were all thinking it, or at least I was. You were just the idiot willing to put it in the open.
