Blackpool finally has 11 players! But no goalkeepers.

In a major step for the club, Blackpool have 11 players now.

Paul Thomas

Congratulations to Blackpool, who have signed three players and now have a full 11-man team.

Small problem: They still don’t have a goalkeeper.

Blackpool, who had to cancel a preseason tour to Spain because they only had seven players, added one earlier in the summer and just signed three more, giving them a full team of 11. At least they can play matches that way, assuming no one gets hurt or tired, but none of their 11 players is a goalkeeper.

It’s okay, though. After all, Blackpool’s season only starts in 12 days.

The club’s supporters aren’t taking too well to the mess either. They have taken to the streets in protest, demanding that competent ownership and management be put in place so they are not relegated from the Championship. Signing a full bench would probably be helpful in that endeavor.

But the fans are overlooking one key aspect here: If any of them are goalkeepers, they could be starting for their beloved club in 12 days!
