A game which neither side can really afford to draw. The spread indicates the likelihood of a physical game. A game perhaps dictated by the midfield. Plenty of possession for The Seasiders it appears, with Wolves prepared to let them? The spread indicates The Seasiders possibly falling behind at some time in the game; but ... a card which last appeared for the Fulham game prediction ... suggests that a draw might well be the most likely outcome. The spread indicates a game of tactics between the two managers. Last time there was this game of wills it was the Birmingham game and The Seasiders were on the wrong side of a diamond formation which was their undoing. Wolves appear to indeed be in the ascendency at one point in the game, where they seem to have to drive home their advanatage. However, the spread indicates a rampant Blackpool attack somewhere in the game. Let's hope this time around that the same number of chances, created in the last game against West Ham, are created ... but this time put away. There is a need for 'goals' by The Seasiders to overcome a hardy Wolves team. Don't rule out bad refereeing decisions in this game and also an element of controversy which might bring Wolves down from their ascendant advantage some time in the game .... a draw would be a fair result here. However, the need for a win by both teams might be the telling issue in this game. Wishful thinking would love to issue three points outcome to The Seasiders here. But the spread does suggest other wise. The spread suggests 2 v 2 ... but wishful thinking says 3 v 2 to The Seasiders.Update 27th November 2010
'Goals' were indeed needed to win this tie .... Wolves in the ascendancy for most of the game. Indeed a 'bad' referee decision did come into the game ... Ian Evatt taken off the pitch for treatment following an injury not permitted to back on the field in time to prevent Doyle heading Wolves goal from a position Evatt would have defended. Controversy too ... as Wolves disputed Blackpool's 2nd goal. Plenty of opportunity for Wolves, but poor finishing .... it could have been 2 v 2.
