News Update

In a sort of John Craven way we're taking a look at some of previously unfeatured news. Including early team news for Saturday and it looks like there maybe a way in for Micheal Flynn, meanwhile Grayson has dismissed talk of a later push for the play off's,

Gary Taylor-Fletcher must have gone from heaven to hell in a short space on time last Saturday. After scoring a possible goal of the season and a goal earlier along with setting up another, the winger suffered a leg injury and is now doubtfull for Saturday's clash against Norwich City.

If he fails to win the race for fitness, it's likely that Stuart Green will move on to the right wing or we may see Flynn operate there. Unlikley is that Andy Welsh will be given the go ahead but Grayson's always prone to suprise us all with his team sheet. Stephen Crainey and Ian Evatt are likely to retain there places.

Meanwhile Simon Grayson has halted talk that the seasiders may sneak into the play off's at the last minute. Speaking to the Blackpool Gazette he said "I'm still looking at the bottom three. "

He added,"If anybody wants to look any further than that then they are more than welcome, but as a staff and as a group of players we are fully focused on our main aim, which is to make sure we collect enough points to avoid relegation and ensure we are a Championship side next seaso"

Looking back to teh start of the season LatvianPresident Valeri Belokon claimed the Seasiders could finish in 10th plaace, however that suggestion was laughed off by fans but looks more relaistic now and Paul Dickov recently claimed the clubc ould be pushing towards the play offs

"Don't get me wrong, my glass is always half full. But play-offs? It isn't that full! We can't get complacent. We know that there are still a lot of points at stake and the teams below us will be trying to win.

Grayson added, "It's going well, yes, but we want to get to 52 or 53 points as quickly as possible. If we do that in the next half dozen games we can maybe enjoy the rest of the season. We are 14th now so as well as having a decent points tally we also have the added bonus of having quite a few teams between ourselves and that bottom three.

"The more points we pick up and the more games that disappear then we are going to be in a decent position. But it is going to be tough this weekend because Norwich are a good side. However, the players are in very good heart in training this week, still in high spirits from the result against Charlton."
