Blackpool manager Simon Grayson could reshuffle his strikeforce for the visit to table toppers Wolves on Saturday.

Steve Kabba and Steve McPhee were both brought off the bench in the shocking defeat to Preston on Sunday, so Ben Burgess and Alan Gow will be looking nervously over their shoulders.

Licking their wounds from last Sunday’s terrible second half against Preston when they left the field to the unfamiliar sound of boos from their own supporters, the Blackpool players have been forced to watch the whole debacle again on video.

Now they have to pick themselves up to face table topping Wolves at Molineux on Saturday.

Things can change very quickly in football, and often do. It’s only a couple of weeks since Pool were basking in the glory of the 4-3 win at Watford.

You could argue that the performance against their arch rivals was a continuation from the week before, when they surrendered meekly at home to Ipswich.

And a continuation of poor home form this season - the Seasiders have only won two of their nine home games so far, and have taken just nine points from the 27 on offer.

But they started so well against Preston, looking the more eager and organised side, and swept into a deserved lead after 10 minutes when Adam Hammill notched his first goal for the club.

And the Pool went in at half time in good fettle, with no sense of what was about to come.

Whatever Preston boss Alan Irvine said at half time, it made a huge difference.

From the start of the second half the Preston players looked far more interested and far more hungry than their Blackpool counterparts, and the tangerines were drowned under a white wave that completely extinguished the sense of superiority felt by the home supporters after last season’s games and the first half of this match.

The manner of the collapse was difficult to stomach for Pool fans fans who were left reeling in anger at the lack of resistance against the staunchest of enemies.

Pool manager Simon Grayson was obviously shocked in the aftermath, and has a job on his hands to repair the damage going into such a tough game on Saturday.

He will be hoping for a strong reaction from his players, and a continuation of the good away form.

So many players underperformed last week that Grayson will have a tough job deciding what to change and what not to change.

Mo Camara is available for the last time before he returns to Derby County at the end of his loan, and Danny Coid is hoping to recover from injury in time.

David Vaughan may also be available, having missed the Preston match.

The manager may be tempted to throw new loan signing Lee Hendrie on from the start.

Hendrie arrived from Sheffield United just in time to make his debut on Sunday as a second half substitute, and has been brought in to spice up the centre of midfield.

With very little football under his belt this season it would be foolish to expect miracles straight away but Hendrie, now 31, has played most of his football in the Premiership and Grayson will be hoping to re-kindle his form - having played alongside him in the Villa side early in Hendrie’s career.

Given the way things can change in football, you wouldn’t bet against Pool going to Wolves and snatching a good result.
