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.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

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.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Albie Morgan damages knee ligaments — 94 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 94 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.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near George Honeyman

Successful dribbles: 40. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market31 Aug 2026

Harvey Bardsley puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Blackpool, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad31 Aug 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.

Squad31 Aug 2026

James Husband falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match29 Aug 2026

Blackpool see off Stevenage

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

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Ninety minutes of CJ Hamilton at his very best

Marked 8.15. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Blackpool.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Too much change too quickly at Blackpool

10 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Market31 Aug 2026

Talks stall between Blackpool and Josh Flint

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

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.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

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

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.

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.
