Team / Score / Attendance
Team: I'm more about trying to second guess Grayson at the moment rather than say what team I'd prefer personally. I don't know all the players well enough for that yet. Grayson made some comments about the defence after the Coventry match so I think Heneghan will be coming in. More than likely in place of Turton but possibly Edwards.
Thompson will be coming back from international duty to reclaim his place. Will Grayson drop an attacker of a midfielder? I think he'll drop guy but would like to see him leave Nuttall out instead.
Alnwick
Heneghan, Tilt, Edwards
Feeney, Guy Spearing, Thompson, Husband
Kaikai, Gnanduillet
Score: We desperately need a win. 2-0 win for us - clean sheet.
Attendance: I've not the foggiest how many MK Dons would be likely to bring. 500 perhaps? Total attendance 8,850 |  |

An interesting 4/3/3 Red.
I'd say all 3 front players would have to be dynamic in order to get the best out of that system.
I don't see Gnanduillet as being flexible enough to adopt a variety of other attacking roles and therefore interchanging with the other 2.
Delfouneso would be better suited to this but he's injured. Either Nuttall or Hardie MIGHT be a better choice IF and when they're ready.
As it stands, Feeney and Kaikai would have to play off the big man which is pretty much what's happening at the moment but may work a slightly better.
I just think it's better when the 3 front lads can rotate among themselves. A DJ, Varney, GTF sort of thing.
When all a fit and available, I'd certainly have a go with Feeney, Delfouneso, Kaikai. | |

I don't often predict us to win but I will this time, 3-1.

Subs. Mafoumbi, Bushiri, Edwards, Scannell, Virtue, Hardie, Shaw
I think Larry might consider resting Gnando for this one to try and play a different way. Just a guess, but I think we need to adjust things and we can bring Gnu on if it's not working out.
I would try a back 4 as shown above, I'm not sure Larry will drop Edwards but I think the Heneghan / Tilt central partnership is worth resurrecting and Turton seems good at right back, and provides the cover for Feeney to attack at will.
Virtue might start, in place of Guy or Thompson - I guess Larry will look at how training has gone. Virtue would provide another different dynamic, but is probably not up to full speed yet, more likely to be used as a sub.
Attendance: 8.300. |  |

Spell it's a 4 - 1 - 2 - 3

I'd go with a flat back 4 as well, just so we can get an extra body in midfield. It's unfortunate for Edwards, but I think after playing together last season Tilt/Heneghan might have a better understanding of each others play. | |

You never know, he's not on anyone's wish list but Scannell might've been pulling up trees in training. | |

Another thing.
Today's Edwards' interview would suggest that he's playing on Saturday.
Hence Turton will be the man to drop out.
It stays as a back 3 or back 5 if you want.
Ryan Edwards vows to right the wrongs in tough week of training at Blackpool by BringBackTheRedRoom 11 Sep 2019 8:13Ryan Edwards says he and his Blackpool team-mates must work hard to put things right on the training pitch this week.
The Seasiders fell to their first League One defeat of the season on Saturday, going down 3-2 away to Coventry City.
Simon Grayson’s men were guilty of basic defensive errors, which Edwards says need to be addressed before Saturday’s home game against MK Dons.
The defender said: “There’s no Tuesday game, which we’ve had a lot of recently, so that gives us a chance to get on the training pitch and put things right.
“I’m sure the manager will get us well drilled and ready for MK Dons next Saturday.
“We knew the goals we had conceded were sloppy. The manager knows he didn’t have to tell us — we’re not stupid, we knew.
“It’s frustrating because it’s not like us. We’ve been pretty solid all season.
“So to switch off like that and have a lapse in concentration is massively disappointing.”
Edwards himself was culpable for the first of the Sky Blues’ goals when he was involved in a mix-up with Ollie Turton. This allowed the hosts a route back into a game which Pool had led 2-0.
“It’s nothing to do with anyone else. It’s not the fans, it’s not the management team or the lads on the bench,” Edwards said.
“It’s about taking responsibility on the pitch and that’s what we should have done.
“I should have been a voice and told people where to go and where to slot in to see us through to half-time.
“Had we done that and been 2-0 away at half-time away to Coventry ... you couldn’t have asked for much more than that.”
If Blackpool are to get back to winning ways on Saturday, Edwards believes their vociferous home support will have a big part to play.
“Home or away, we bring a lot of fans and they bring a great atmosphere,” the 25-year-old said.
“Certainly at Bloomfield Road there’s a big change this year since the ownership has changed.
“We know they will keep coming back. But we also know we’ve got to keep playing well for them to come back in their numbers and raise that atmosphere.”
The atmosphere at Bloomfield Road is likely to be in stark contrast to that at St Andrew’s, where Coventry now ground-share with Birmingham City.
The home support took up just one stand on Saturday, while the remainder of the ground was unused, except by the away contingent.
Edwards added: “It was strange seeing half the stadium empty. It doesn’t affect you on the pitch, if I’m being honest. We’ve all done it before, so this was just another game.
“They had one stand open for the home fans and the away fans are in a corner, but it makes no difference to how the game goes.”

I think it would be a mistake to drop Turton instead of Edwards, tbh. Three centre halves is not the answer IMO. But I can see Larry doing it. He'll come back to a back four at some point, I'm sure of it! | |
