[Guest ttfn]

Blimey.

[Brooksy]

Taylor-Fletcher on bench.

[Hirsty The Blue 94]

No Wood on the bench, bit of a surprise.

[Brooksy]

No Wood either, strange.

I think a lot of them are made of plastic these days.

I've already got my coat on.

[Mark_w]

Pearson's Daughter. Headbutt.

[marko]

Obviously head-butted Pearson's daughter.

[Happy Fox]

Wood has been crap so no surprise hopefully this will be a wake up call for him. Otherwise strong team again

[Bryn]

He's probably got a knock.

Brilliant

[wattolcfc]

I've heard he headbutted Pearson's daughter, not confirmed though....

Never confident in 442 away from home out midfield is not strong enough.

Isn't Blackpool quite a small pitch? Maybe Nige thinks 3 in CM is overkill on a small pitch.

[ousefox]

Surprised by Wood and definitely thought we'd change formation. Seem to be doing well away without 442 but NP knows what he's doing.

[Guest Basildon Fox]

That bench looks decent now. Was not feeling positive at all at the start of the season but I am impressed by the way we have started the season and the new signings will allow us to be much more solid when needed.

Think we may well have a side capable of promotion. The squad looks like they will be much harder to beat this season. We were to weak mentally and physically last season.

[Merchant]

Never overly confident with 4-4-2 away from home but I suppose it'd be harsh to change a team on the back of 2 good wins and man for man we're better than these

On the plus side that bench looks stronger than we've had it for a while.

1-0 City, Vardy with the goal

Haha very good, although most are lovely leather things now. No wonder Conrad doesn't want to leave.

[Number 6]

I am a big fan of Wood but agree with that bench today. Wood was turd when he came on against Blackburn and was turd at Blackpool last year. Reckon GTF might fancy a goal against his old club.

[Fox92]

I would have had Wood on bench, maybe for Bakayogo because Miquel and even Schlupp can cover at the back.

[kingfox]

Nice to see him having confidence in this 11, let's see how it goes.

 

Wood will probably be loaned out to Millwall in the week, and then we will get Jay Bothroyd in on a one year deal.

Chris Wood â€@officialcwood1m

All the best to the lads in the game today! Big 3 points, bring them home boys!!

[Happy Fox]

Schlupp as a LW perhaps?

Despite Wood scoring a perfectly good goal, wrongly ruled out for offside against Blackburn, (watch the highlights on skys website).

Personally i think that Wood is our best finisher.

[Libertine Dream]

What a fall from grace for Wood, couldn't stop scoring and now can't even get on the bench. Not surprised, his first touch is terrible, he's weak, not got the energy to compete with our other strikers and doesn't even bother to jump for the ball
