Blackpool or Fleetwood?

Post by burnley007 » Tue Feb 28, 2023 1:29 pm

If you could only 1 of the next 2 games, which one would you choose?

It's definitely Fleetwood for me.

Fleetwood. 100%

It's happened once in almost 50 years and even that one time was a massive let down on the day.

How on Earth can you watch how we’ve played this season and seen the depth of our squad and even consider - even just as a thought experiment - games against Blackpool and Fleetwood to be one or the other?

Ladies and gentlemen, Schroedinger’s Burnley fans. Simultaneously basking in the glow of other fans/managers saying we’re the best team seen at this level in years while worrying whether we can cope with games against two of (on paper) the weakest teams we’ll face all season.

Batter both of them
I would like the Lashers to stay up but still want another 3 points towards Reading's record

who is worrying?

it's one of those hypothetical either or questions. A bit of fun, no harm done.

We'll win both at a canter if we play like we did against Preston.

Fleetwood- average League 1 team.

Blackpool-heading back to League 1 at a rate of knots.

Blackpool - but it's rare to be excited about the league and cup in the same season

2008/09 was the last time.

Before that 82/83. FA Cup QF when we should have beaten Wednesday (then a top Division One team) at TM before capitulation in the replay. League Cup SF lost 3-0 to an imperious Liverpool side at Anfield but beat them 1-0 at TM

We rallied late in the league under Frank Casper. An heroic 0-0 at Filbert Street against a Lineker-led Leicester who secured promotion to the top flight that afternoon if I remember correctly left us needing something from a trip to Palace in a winner stays up game the following Tuesday. A 1-0 defeat sealed our fate. Estimated 7k Clarets in attendance - didn't end well

Much more optimistic this time around

$th January 1975. We got beat 1-0 at Home by Wimbledon, from, if I remember correctly,
some very minor Southern League at the time.. We hit every piece of wood on the goalposts at
the Cricket field end goal, but nothing went in that day. This team we have now is great,
no mistake, but since `75 in football, I`ve never taken any result for granted.
Saying that, with this seasons VK team, which is great to watch I can`t see anything except 2 wins. UTC NNN

I may be wrong but I think Lineker missed that game at Filbert Street although his partner in crime, Lynex, did play
