Blackpool vs Fulham preview - Clark to keep changes to minimum

Posted Friday, April 17, 2015 by PA

Lee Clark is unlikely to make too many changes to Blackpool's side against Fulham, despite the 4-0 drubbing they suffered against Derby on Tuesday.

The Seasiders selected seven substitutes who were all 21 or under - four still in their teens - against the Rams and three have never started a game for the already-relegated outfit.

Miles Addison (knee) is due to return to the squad soon but Tom Aldred (hamstring), Joe Lewis (ankle), Mark Waddington (foot) and Grant Hall (ankle) are all out for the season.

The Tangerines still need one point to equal the lowest ever tally accrued by a club in the second tier since it was expanded to 24 teams in 1988.

Fulham boss Kit Symons could make changes after a poor display in their midweek 1-1 draw with fellow strugglers Rotherham.

Symons is still without Lasse Vigen Christensen (hamstring) and Emerson Hyndman (collarbone), although both could play some part before the end of the season.

Fellow midfielder George Williams remains a long-term absentee after suffering cruciate ligament damage.

Tim Hoogland, Sean Kavanagh, Shaun Hutchinson and Hugo Rodallega are among the players pushing for recalls as Fulham attempt to banish any lingering fears of joining Blackpool in League One.
