    Following on from the likes of the Manure, Chelski and Liver****e threads, here's one for the mundane, yet potentially 'ok' match tommorrow, Blackpool v Watford.

    Oh Yes,

    Come on yee 'orrnss.

    Blackpool will be without on-loan midfielder Charlie Adam against Watford, who have doubts over two players.

    The Hornets gave their hopes of beating the drop a lift in midweek with a 2-0 victory over Swansea which saw them climb out of the drop zone.

    Blackpool suffered a 4-1 thrashing away to Derby on Wednesday night which leaves them just five points better off than their weekend opponents.

    The Seasiders are again missing Adam as the Rangers man must serve the final game of a three-match ban after being shown a straight red card on his debut against Doncaster.

    Striker Ben Burgess remains sidelined with a knee injury and Keith Southern and Steve McPhee also look almost certain to miss out again.

    Midfielder Southern and forward McPhee are back in training after ankle and knee injuries respectively but are unlikely to feature against the Hornets.

    Caretaker boss Tony Parkes must decide on whether to stick with Matt Gilks between the posts which would keep regular number one Paul Rachubka on the bench for the third successive Championship game.

    Brendan Rodgers' visitors have injury concerns over Ross Jenkins and Lee Williamson.

    Jenkins sustained a foot injury in Tuesday's much-needed victory against the Swans and the young midfielder is rated as doubtful for the trip to Lancashire.

    Fellow midfielder Williamson picked up a hip injury in the same game and could also be forced to sit out the clash with the Tangerines.

    Long-term absentees Mart Poom (shoulder) and Gareth Williams (knee) remain on the sidelines and it is uncertain when the experienced duo are likely to return.

    Rodgers' side must address their away form if they are to stay out of trouble as their last league victory on the road was at Southampton on 18th October last year.

    Probable starting lineup:
    Loach
    Hoyte--DeMerit---M.Williamson--Doyley
    Cowie--L.Williamson
    --Smith
    McAnuff---
    Priskin
    Rasiak

    Subs: Lee, O'Toole, Cauna, Hoskins, Harely, Mariappa
