Preview vs The Dingles!

Tomorrow See's the six fingered mutants from Yorkshire take on the mighty Blackpool. The inbreds are still suffering shell shock after been smashed for three last season at Bloomfield Road and I'm pretty sure Simon Grayson and the boys will be after a similar result.
Last time we played at the home of the Dingles the game ended 2-2, with Andy Morrell scoring a late equaliser. This time round Blackpool have no Morrell. But instead have three strikers who are on form and look ready to score. But who Grayson chooses to play upfront remains a mystery. But we reckon an unchanged Burgess/Kabba partnership with Nards on as a late sub going 4-3-3 may work once more.
Grayson will probably drop Fox and Jorgenson for this one, Southern and Vaughn changed the game on Saturday and hopefully will be able to recreate the same form for 90 minutes of war against Burnley. Stephen Crainey remains out, despite hoping for an early. Former Burnley target Alan Gow is also likely to remain sidelined. The on-loan midfielder suffered a knock in training last week and it's doubtful whether he will get a game this Tuesday evening.
It's likely Blackpool will take 2000 for this one, but are still likely to out-sing our rivals. The inbred bunch from the outskirts of Yorkshire have struggled to make an impact so far this season and hover just above relegation. Whilst the pride of Lancashire; Blackpool FC sit in a nice cushty joint 7th. Although Burnley did beat Forest at the weekend and will hope momentum Carry's forward.
Burnley will be without star man Chris Eagles for this game, the former Man United striker will serve the second game of a three match ban. Whilst Stephen Jordan is widely expected to retain his place in the Burnley side.
Personally I'm expecting an ugly game, but expect them to put 11 men behind the ball in an attempt to beat us. What we need to do is break them down and beat them, which is possible and should be expected. However anything can happen in a Lancashire Derby and I'm really looking forward to it.
Our Prediction: Burnley 1 Blackpool 4
