Not to be at all pedantic but I think Derby’s awful season about 2/3 years back is now officially the worst but at this rate I can see it being ‘bettered’ by Blackpool.

At least they’ve signed a few players today, a couple of them (Cathcart and Martin) sound quite promising.

Richard – I think Swindon in 1994 would be worse.

Possibly, which Mick McCarthy will be happy as his worst record with Sunderland a few years back could be beaten.

It really is a poor squad. Of all the teams over the years, this will be up there with the worst I’d say.

Enjoyed the read Kev. Is it safe to say that Blackpool are entering the season with perhaps the weakest Premier League side ever assembled?

Yes, just as I had posted it someone pointed it out.

It was hard to pick out an XI, especially in the 4-3-3. Could be a switch to a 4-4-2, or maybe 4-5-1 for the season.

Real lack of numbers in the squad.

Can’t see Billy Clarke playing at all this season, he’s done his cruciates. Such a shame, the lad’s a decent talent and deserved a chance at the top level.
