D-Day for Blackpool Managers now seems to be short for Doncaster Day! Hold on Larry!
2-2 prediction sounds a good game, but we need the points as much as you so I think it will be a very tense 1-0.
Well 2-2, 1-0 all good predictions but I have the feeling Larrys boys will come good today watch out Doncaster. As the previous match I think the Ref is the one to watch!!
Hopefully we can get a result or sadly I see Larrys days being numbered, a little luck and we could be motivated into a positive mental attitude..GOODLUCK BOYS !!
