Blackpool,v Gillingham preview: Gills boss Steve Evans hoping for the result of the season at Bloomfield Road
Gillingham head to the seaside on Easter Monday to take on form team Blackpool.
It’s a huge game for the Gills in terms of their play-off hopes, up against a team who are 12 unbeaten and currently occupy sixth place in League 1.
The Gills have lost just once in nine and are fighting to keep their promotion hopes alive.
Gills boss Steve Evans has guided his team to some big results of late but pulling off a win at Blackpool would top the lot.
“It would be the best result of the season for me,” he said.
“Blackpool are a phenomenal side, I really like them, I really like the manager [Neil Critchley], he is an outstanding young man and I first met him at Priestfield when we had a chat.
“We look forward to seeing Neil but more importantly we look forward to seeing us take a team up and there and coming back with a point or three.
“I listened to Karl Robinson’s words [the Oxford manager] and he said they were going to Sunderland [on Friday] and it’s a free hit, I thought, 'I’m not so sure about that'. We have a free hit at Blackpool.
“For me, they are the best team in the league at the moment. People will say, ‘well he said that a few times’ and yeah when we went to Lincoln they were one of the best teams in the league, when we went to Hull they were the league leaders.
“We don’t kid ourselves, we have an enormous task in the run in, but we don’t fear anyone, we are looking forward to every game, we are fresh, hungry and we will be ready by the time we get to the north west on Monday.
“If someone said ‘would you take four points from Wigan (the Gills beat the Latics 1-0 on Wednesday) and Blackpool?’ I would tick the box, we would be right in the mix with five or six. My players can handle it, we can handle it, I am not sure those who continually want to talk and decry others for a way of playing can.
“I read a comment from Sean Dyche, there is no wrong way to play football. He had a formula. There is no right or wrong, it is about winning, that is what everyone wants more than anything.
“The whole team since the start of the year have been totally galvanised, totally given everything for the cause, they are so fit, they are running as hard in the 95th minute as the fifth minute and credit to the medical team, we will be fresh and ready to go again for Blackpool.”

After resigning as Stamford manager he was appointed manager of Boston United in October 1998. He managed Boston to promotion from the Southern Football League to the Football Conference in 2000 and subsequently to the Football League in 2002. Both promotions have since been overshadowed by revelations of off-the-field cheating.
Evans was suspended by Boston as manager on 4 July 2002 after a much-publicised Football Association (The FA) investigation into "contract irregularities". He later resigned as manager of the club in September 2002, after still being suspended by the club. He was found guilty by The FA in December 2002 of impeding an FA inquiry into contract irregularities. Evans was also suspended from the game for 20 months in January 2003 for involvement of the affairs of Boston, in which players' contracts lodged with the FA contained false salary details. Evans was further accused of impeding the inquiry and fined £8,000. Evans lodged an appeal against charges in May 2003, but The FA rejected his appeal later that month and the punishment stood. Evans later pleaded guilty in court to conspiring to cheat the public revenue, and was given a 12-month prison sentence, suspended for two years.
An announcement was made on 20 February 2004 that Evans would return as Boston's manager on 2 March. In September 2005, Evans and four other people connected with Boston appeared in court, denying fraud charges.[18] In November 2005, Evans was given a £1,000 fine, suspended for a year, after admitting to using insulting or abusive words to the match official in a match against Peterborough United in October 2005. On 11 February 2006, he was escorted from Grimsby Town's stadium Blundell Park by Humberside Police at half-time, after he berated the fourth official after being incensed when Grimsby goalkeeper Steve Mildenhall appeared to handle the ball outside his area and was immediately spoken to by a police officer after a complaint of alleged foul and abusive language. After the match Boston chairman Jon Sotnick accused the football authorities of waging a "conspiracy" against his manager. In October 2006, Evans was linked with the vacant Darlington managerial vacancy, but Boston chairman James Rodwell and Evans both denied the link. Also in October, Evans was sent from the dugout after an altercation with Wycombe Wanderers player Tommy Doherty for which he later received a £1,000 suspended fine from the FA. Despite this, which came on top of his conviction for tax evasion, Evans kept his manager's position at Boston, a decision that angered the Boston United Supporters' Trust.
In March 2007, Evans was left with only 11 professional footballers for the relegation clash with Bury. Although players were back from suspension, Evans was left frustrated after players such as Barnsley's on-loan striker Nathan Joynes quit the club, which left him with just 12 fit senior players and he was forced to put 16- and 17-year-olds on an incomplete substitute's bench. After drawing 1—1 in their penultimate match of the season against relegated Torquay United, Boston needed a win against relegation rivals Wrexham to avoid the drop out of league football.

Neil Critchley quashes injury fears over Blackpool duo and provides update on the fitness of James Husband
Neil Critchley has quashed fears that Blackpool defender Daniel Gretarsson has picked up another injury.
Neil Critchley has quashed fears that Blackpool defender Daniel Gretarsson has picked up another injury.
The centre-back was brought off 13 minutes from time during Blackpool’s 2-0 win against Swindon Town on Good Friday.
The 25-year-old, making his first start since January 9, having been sidelined by a hamstring injury, was keen to play on despite going to ground, causing a stoppage in play.
“Daniel is fine,” Critchley said.
“He was actually unwell leading into the game, he wasn’t feeling well so he hadn’t eaten a lot.
“It was more of a case that he was lacking energy in the final 20 minutes more than anything, it was like the blood sugar had gone out of his body and he was fatigued.
“But it was a top performance from him. It was his first start for a long time and he’s a warrior, he’s a competitor.
“He’s fine though, there’s no issues with him.
“I thought Jordan Thorniley came on and saw the game out for us very well.”
Pool fans will also have been sweating over the fitness of Sullay Kaikai, after the winger also went to ground late on in the game against Swindon.
But Critchley insists Kaikai was fine and it was a tactical decision to bring him off in the 85th minute.
“He’s fine, there’s no issues,” Critchley said.
“I say he’s fine, but I’ve not heard anything from the physio yet, so touch wood.
“It was just a tactical reason though, I wasn’t aware of any physical issues.”
The Seasiders, who are still missing a number of key first-team players through injury, could be handed a boost for their Easter Monday fixture against play-off rivals Gillingham.
Despite not being named in the squad on Friday, James Husband took part in the pre-match warm-up and is likely to train today ahead of tomorrow’s home game.
“He trained on Thursday, it was his first day of training,” Critchley explained.
“But we did light training so we wanted him to be here so we can control what he’s doing.
“He’s okay, he’s done some running so hopefully he’ll train on Sunday and be available for Monday.”

The thing is with Evans is that a lot of football fans seem to appreciate that way of playing.
Foot in, harass the opposition, be a nuisance / handfull, professional foul, hard man, get stuck in, let 'em know you're her as soon as the 1st minute.
It's a lower league dogma that loads of old school supporters cling to.
I prefer a more modern approach.
