Survival or rel.........

......I can't bring myself to write the opposite of premiership survival on here. We go into the final stages of the season when points are essential. It wouldn't be Blackpool if we didn't make things hard for ourselves, which we have since the start of the year. Just thinking back to when we leading against United, Bolton, Blackburn and Everton only to see that lead disappear and instead of getting 12 points, we ended up with two. The 10 missing points would have left us in a very safe place. Unfortunately, we are just hovering above the drop-zone. Last Sunday's defeat against Arsenal was not totally unexpected, but this Saturday's game against fellow strugglers Wigan is a massive game for both clubs. We need to stop the slide now and get back into a winning mentality. Otherwise we'll seal our own fate and all the know-all pundits will be telling us "they told us so". We deserve another season in the premiership because we have shown we are capable of playing attractive football against the bigger teams and getting the results. It would also give us a better chance to bolster our squad with quality players. Last season was a mad rush following on from our play-off success and something that did us no favours. But Ollie has managed to get the best out of the players that have cost a fraction of the price of other teams. Ok, football is a hard master and good luck stories are not guaranteed, but let's just hope our particular premiership good luck story continues starting on Saturday with 3 welcomed points.
