Bolton v Blackpool Preview
In a season of very little good news, no Blackpool fan will take scant consolation in the fact that Blackpool can't get relegated at the Macron on Saturday. In fact the news will probably disappoint more Trotters fans than it will please Seasiders. In fact, there is a chance that we could get past Easter without facing the drop and it could come against Reading on Tuesday night. Never has there been a season where Blackpool have had so little to fight for with more than half a dozen games to go.
With the news that Jose Cubero's contract extension has been taken up (with no guarantee that will result in him playing for us next season), the next on the list for Lee Clark must be Jamie O'Hara. The Midfielder isavailable after his return to full training. Defender Tom Aldred misses out as Clark is forced to utilise the majority of his squad.
Bolton welcome back midfielder Neil Danns from suspension whilst fellow midfielders Mark Davies and Simeon Slavchev (both knee) remain out. Strikers Zach Clough and Max Clayton are still unavailable as the Wanderers look to continue their excellent home form under manager Neil Lennon.
