The Contract Situation

Whilst player contracts pretty much always finish at the end of June, football clubs have to notify players by the third Sunday in May whether then intend to retain them with a new deal or not. As that date is this weekend, I thought it might be pertinent to take a look at the contract situation at Blues.

The End of the Road?

Match previews sponsored by EZE Group - Lifestyle Experts

Normally when I when I write these previews I look at statistical sequences, injuries and what-not and write a factual piece. However, we already know a bit about Blackpool – we’ve played them three times this season, including on Friday night – so I’m going to skip all that and tell you how I think Blues can win the tie.

Eating Humble Pie

Flaming typical of my record of prediction with Blues; I write something about us losing the plot promotion-wise and the lads come back and win two on the spin away. I could try to claim it was reverse psychology but I’d be lying.

The Pendulum Swings Back Blues Way…

Talking Points sponsored by John Hicken Industrial roofing and cladding materials

What a difference a couple of days make. After witnessing the lacklustre performance of Blues against Cardiff last weekend I really feared for our playoff chances – yet at the time of writing Blues sit fourth again and with results going the way that they have it looks like the pendulum has swung firmly back in Blues’ favour.

The Race For The Playoffs

Talking Points sponsored by John Hicken Industrial roofing and cladding materials

It’s been a tough few weeks for Blues and their fellow competitors for a top six slot, with most of the teams in and around the current top six having dropped points here and there. I made the point in my match reflections that I’m starting to think Blues might have blown their chances of promotion – which may be a bit reactionary as we’re still top six – and I thought having read the comments I should expand on that.
