Crainey Out! And More!

Stephen Crainey will not be ready to return to first team football this Saturday as previously expected. The official site is reporting that Stephen Crainey will be out for up-to six weeks. The former player of the season underwent an operation on his groin yesterday, hopefully this will see an end to Crainey's recent injury problems.

His loss has been softened with the news that Mo Camara has extended his current loan deal, whilst Joe Martin also returns from injury. Danny Coid can also play there and that means that despite Grayson's number one left back been out injured, he still has three very decent players who can play there.

Tomorrow See's the reserves in action against Preston North End once again. The game, which will be played at Fleetwood's Highbury Ground kicks off at 7pm. Entry is free for season ticket holders, whilst non ST Holder will have to pay £4 an adult or £2 a kid. The game has taken a higher importance having been thrashed by PNE 7-1 last week. Another result like that won't be tolerated and more passion is required.

For those wandering about this years wage bill, a recent report in the Evening Gazette suggested it was the highest ever. Karl Oyston told the paper "I think it is fair to say our wage bill is the highest in our history, but we know we had to do that to progress and hopefully build on last season's achievements." Anything less then survival will be considered a failure by the board. Next year See's mega tv money come into the championship, something which will make Blackpool a much richer club.

Finally Kieth Southern returns this weekend after fulfilling his recent suspension, lets pray Grayson throws him straight back in. Jorgenson and Fox does not work and is far to lightweight when were taking on the physical sides in this division.
