This game is fraught with danger I think - going to be a very lively atmosphere in a small, close-knit ground.
We need to quieten the crowd down in the first 15-20mins by taking the sting out of the game and ideally begin it on the front foot. Don't give Blackpool fans and their side any cause in the game to believe that they're going to get a positive result.
If we start slowly and slack they'll be quite content.
A hard-fought 1-0 City win.
