BLACKPOOL v CHESTERFIELD
Head to heads:
League: Blackpool 18, draws 23, Chesterfield 21
04/5 Blackpool 1, Chesterfield 0.......Chesterfield 1 Blackpool 0
03/4 Chesterfield 1, Blackpool 0.......Blackpool 1 Chesterfield 0
02/3 Blackpool 1, Chesterfield 1.......Chesterfield 1, Blackpool 0
....looks like an under 2.5 already, backed up by only 11 goals in the last 8 meets
It goes as far back as 2000/1 since one of them took an away win from the other
BLACKPOOL:
Last season: 16th, 46-8-7-8-28-30-7-5-11-26-29-57
Billy Dearden has recently left as Asst.manager to join MK Dons
Pre season:
Keith A, won 5-1
Ross Co. A lost 2-1
ICT A lost 1-0
Morecombe A 1-1
Lancaster City A lost 1-0
Chester City H won 6-0 (not exactly breeding confidence here
)
Players In: Scott Vernon from Oldham (10 goals in 17 games 04/5) John Doolan (35 apps for Doncaster 04/5) Rory Prendergast from Acc.Stanley
Players out: Martin Bullock, Richie Wellens, Robbie Clarke, Paul Edwards, Zarko Grabovac, Leam Richardson, Steve Boyack, Sean Patterson
From what I could see their top scorer was S Taylor with 12 in 24 games last term, & nobody else hit double figures. So Vernon is obviously bought for goals but I know little about Prendergast.....any offers ??
CHESTERFIELD
Last season: 17th. 46-9-8-6-32-28-5-7-11-23-34-57
Players in: Colin Larkin from Mansfield, Paul Hill from Tranmere, Reuben Hazell from Kiddy, Barry Roche from Forest, & according to the website today they are on the verge of signing Janos Kovacs from MTK of Hungary.
Pre season:
Matlock A won 2-0
Staveley A won 7-0
Scarborough A 1-1
Malaga H lost 2-1
Halifax A 2-2
Looks like an under 2.5 to me but obviously no form at all. Any offers ??
