Blackpool v QPR (Carabao Cup 3rd Round) 2 - 0 FT

If Smyth is available then he must play in this game. I see the starting line up as:

Ingram, Kakay, Hall, Baptiste, Hamalainen, Wszolek, Chair, Cousins, Osayi-Samuel, Smith, Smyth

I fancy quite a lot of fans will just pay on the gate so expect there to be 500-600 in the end. If we can get ahead/win it will be a cracking atmosphere as we have not had any cup excitement for many a year and the league season looks set to be another drag.



Just had a look and Blackpool have only lost once in their 9 league games so far (drawing 5 so perhaps penalties are a good bet).

They have actually drawn 0-0 4 times and only conceded 5 goals in those 9 games so are a tough nut to crack.... but like QPR aren't the most prolific, scoring only 8 in 9, 1 more than QPR.

They are unbeaten in 7 league matches, only losing to Portsmouth who are 2nd.

• Blackpool have won only one of their last 20 matches against QPR in all competitions (D8 L11)
• QPR have only made the 4th round once in the last 22 years

Team has NINE changes from Saturday:

Ingram
Kakay Baptiste Hall Hamalainen
Wszolek Cousins Scowen Osay-Samuel
Smith Chair

Subs: Brozowski/ Goss/ Omar/ Dalling/ Smyth/ Owens/ Oteh

Very annoyed at the team, this is our best chance for excitement this season.

Blackpool have more ball boys than fans.

We are all housed in the main stand, QPR have a bigger section. Very odd.

Shambles. We've all known some woeful performances supporting QPR over the years but that was embarrassing.

Scowen is a disgrace. He came out with his head down and wanted to get sent off. Should be fined.

We have been so bad I am in shock.

McClaren deserves stick, he has completely devalued the cup.

We are second to every ball and every player is getting booked as we chase shadows and constantly trip them up.

So bad.

I know there are 45 minutes left but there is no way we are winning this. We haven't even been in their box twice.

Dominated
