Town boss Paul Lambert has made three changes from the team which drew 1-1 away against the MK Dons for this afternoon’s game at Blackpool with Myles Kenlock, Emyr Huws and Alan Judge coming into the XI.

Kenlock is at left-back for Stephen Ward, who was expected to miss out with the achilles injury he suffered at Stadium MK, Huws takes over in midfield for Jon Nolan, who is left out as a precaution due to a calf strain, and Judge comes in for Freddie Sears, who drops to the bench.

Loanees Mark McGuinness and Keanan Bennetts are both included in the 18 for the first time, while Luke Woolfenden and Kayden Jackson are also among the subs.

Former Town midfielder Grant Ward and ex-loanee Luke Garbutt, making his full league debut, both start for the Seasiders.

Striker Gary Madine is handed his first start of the season, while new addition Jordan Gabriel makes his league debut for the home side.

Blackpool: Maxwell (c), Gabriel, Robson, Anderson, Yates, Madine, Ward, Turton, Ekpiteta, Hamilton, Garbutt. Subs: Sims, Thorniley, Williams, Mitchell, Kemp, Antwi, Lubala.

Town: Holy, Chambers (c), Nsiala, Wilson, Kenlock, Dozzell, Huws, Bishop, Judge, Edwards, Hawkins. Subs: McGuinness, Woolfenden, Jackson, Lankester, Bennetts, Sears, Cornell. Referee: Christopher Sarginson (Staffordshire).

Suffolkboy added 14:50 - Oct 10 NOT another sickie and ‘mere ‘ strain !? Are there any natural athletes in our squad , or are too many operating at the limits of their natural ability ? Such a shame to read Nolan is not available , especially as it seemed he'd at last started to look the ‘real deal ‘ ,and become a scoring mid- fielder . Bury good to see Hughes in the team; he had enormous potential when first he came ,and a return to form will be exceptionally welcome . But COYB !

Marinersnose added 14:52 - Oct 10 Picking Judge is somewhat puzzling. He had no impact from the bench last weekend. PL cannot revert to type as he did last season by picking his so called seasoned pros. These decisions cost us dearly

Linkboy13 added 12:00 - Oct 11 ArnieM Dobra's got to work much harder at his team game. Needs to watch Edwards and see how hard he works for the team. Loan deal would be ideal for him.
