The business end of the season.....

It's coming to that time of the season when consistency and concentration are the most important factors in determining whether promotion is achievable or not. What I like about the team now is, Ollie has finally got the defence looking a bit more responsible for their actions. I can't fault Matt Gilks this season because he has saved us time and time again. I've always believed Alex Baptiste is a better central defender than he is a full back and since Ollie moved him to the centre we've looked more solid. Last night's 1-0 win against Leeds could have been the classic banana skin especially after we beat them 5-0 at their place. Fortunately after last night's results one more win should be enough to guarantee us a play-off place. We should be in the mix with West Ham, Birmingham and Cardiff because I think Middlesborough have blown their chance by their inconsistency at home.

I fancy our chances against any of the other sides, if, we maintain our concentration and don't make silly mistakes. I know that could apply to any side, but we tend to hit the self-destruct button at the wrong time. I know the other sides won't look forward to playing us because they know on our day we are capable of beating them. It's going to be an interesting end to another remarkable season. I hope the neutrals get behind Blackpool along with every Pool fan because if nothing else we will entertain you. Up the Mighty Pool.
