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.

Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and
wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
Swansea reject Cullen contract and trigger one year option Liam Cullen has had his request for a new contract dismissed by Swansea City after discussions broke down last week. The lowest paid ‘senior’ player at the club ( he is twenty five) asked for a better contract increasing his £3,500 a week to around £7,000 a week over three years.
Sam Parker hasn’t turned down a new deal, he is willing to negotiate He was a revelation for the Swans for the few games he played this season, and now it emerges Sam Parker has ‘turned down’ a new Swansea City contract. News is thin on the ground, and some of it just incorrect as he looks to involve his representatives in some further negotiations. Plus his current contract runs for two more years.
Swansea City : The vision is clearer, so Jamal Lowe ? There were some worrying moments for the Swans yesterday, on three occasions mistakes from playing out from the back nearly saw the home side score. And is there now a case for Jamal Lowe to be offered a contract at Swansea ?
