Squad28 Sep 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Albie Morgan

61 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Blackpool lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Blackpool

Conor Townsend was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Words at Blackpool training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Oliver Casey is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Michael Ihiekwe gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match26 Sep 2026

Blackpool draw a blank against Luton Town

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Luton Town defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

Market28 Sep 2026

Dan Sassi leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Dan Sassi leaves Blackpool the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.

Squad7 Sep 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Albie Morgan

86 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Blackpool lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Nobody could get near Joel Randall

Successful dribbles: 29. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Blackpool

Josh Flint was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match5 Sep 2026

Blackpool see off Reading

Three points for Blackpool, 1‑0 the final word against Reading in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Words at Blackpool training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Leighton Clarkson is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Ninety minutes of Dale Taylor at his very best

Marked 8.13. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Blackpool.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Albie Morgan damages knee ligaments — 110 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 110 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match15 Aug 2026

Cruel end for Burton Albion as Blackpool pounce

There is no crueller way to lose a football match. Blackpool scored in the 94th minute, the restart barely happened, and the away end was still standing when the whistle went.

Market17 Aug 2026

Blackpool say no — this time

The offer from Middlesbrough for Dale Taylor was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Nobody could get near George Honeyman

Successful dribbles: 27. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Conor Townsend was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match15 Aug 2026

Blackpool get the job done against Burton Albion

A 1‑0 win over Burton Albion, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Words at Blackpool training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Oliver Casey is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

CJ Hamilton in the eights

A performance of 8.12 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Conor Townsend has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Blackpool know it, and so does everybody who watches him.
