11 successive play of wins for Blackpool

Didn't they just draw the last one?

Blackpool played with no fear last night, I can see them causing West Ham real problems as long as they don't concede an early goal.

I still believe West Ham's confidence is fragile and they will panic if they went behind.

Yeah this i reckon.

Still, will be awesome if Blackpool do them

[FiNeRaIn]

Yep, but not going to happen.

Cardiff is an intimidating place to go against a solid team but Nolan turned up big time, stuck a couple of early one's on their midfield, got in their faces when they were down injured...played the ref and then started gesturing and shouting at the cardiff fans for a go. He's a good version of diouf. He dropped down to this level because he loves the physical battles and being able to get at the opposing players and fans without referees pulling him up for it. Blackpool are going to be powered straight through at Wembley. Watch nolan crunch phillips and ince in the first 15 minutes. Absolute bully.

I generally agree with this but football can throw up unpredicatable results. I'm hoping this will be one of them.

[bassavage]

Depends, West Ham's tactics are to go out and score as many as they can in the first 10-15 minutes and if they can manage to get 1 or maybe 2 in that time then it will probably be theirs. However if Blackpool can keep them out then they've got every chance.

Whoever wins them first 15 minutes wins the game for me.

Bit like Barry Ferguson then?

Don't know what it is with Nolan - always liked him at Bolton/The Toon, always thought he was a good player doing a good job.

Maybe it's the combination of "lovable" West 'am, their undeniable "right" to the Premiership and his burgeoning belmont-ness that has turned him into the most unlikeable player in the Championship - a title I hope he can defend next season.

Cheltenham looking good after winning the home leg against Torquay 2-0. Very good performance from The Nam, probably their best since xmas.

WHERE ARE YOU PARTRIDGE?

Cheltenham have better players than us so fair play. Loads more attacking options compared to our 1 who is now injured.

We've done really well this season but in the last month our squad of 14 has just completely run out of gas and we were the easy team to play for whoever got in the playoffs.

[Jerry St Clair]

Yeah, they looked a shadow of the team who, frankly, walked all over us in the league game back in February.

Most Torquay fans outside seemed pretty despondent, though I don't think it matters too much - I can't see the winners of this tie beating Crewe or Southend at Wemberlee.

i disagree I think Cheltenham have an excellent chance, they have 4 strikers (all of which would start for us) Whereas we have a bloke that Tamworth said no fanks to, and 2 rapid wingers which cause rubbish L2 sides likes us and Southend problems. Toughest game Chelt could get is Crewe because they are flying.

As good as McGlashan and Kaid were today, they can also be complete bobbins. I've seen games where I had no idea Kaid was playing until he was substituted. But, yes, if they perform at Wembley, Nam have a great chance.

Jimmy Spencer can be a right lazy sod but, again, today he turned it on. Burgess is just class at this level, though. So, yeah, maybe you're right. Perhaps they do have half a chance.

Sean Morrison currently getting away with bundling a Franchise F.C. forward over in the box.

No idea how he got away with that. The other player still got a head to it as he was falling to the ground. Would have been a definite goal imo.
