Tom MayneHOST
Tonight, our attention turns to Saturday as Blackpool look to go into the international break with a victory after a pretty dodgy period.
Tom MayneHOST
After Saturday's draw with Bromley, they look to turn that around and get a victory against Tom Cleverley's men.
Tom MayneHOST
Tonight, the preview show will be focused on Plymouth Argyle, Blackpool's opponents.
Tom MayneHOST
And I'm happy to say John is joining me, I think for a hat trick appearance, potentially on the podcast.
JonGUEST
So hopefully we're sort of ramping back up to the end of last season rather than the beginning.
Tom MayneHOST
Yeah, and getting there a lot earlier, of course.
Tom MayneHOST
But yeah, we want to focus on, I haven't quite mentioned his name, but Tom Cleverley, obviously a manager who came in last campaign and...
Tom MayneHOST
There was potentially a lot of animosity towards him, obviously, towards, well, at the start and even at some points during the season, last campaign.
Jon BeerHOST
I just want you to, this is what I want you to do for homework, right? I want you to put yourself in the shoes of someone who would just gone out their way purposefully to spite you, but someone that you really respect, like someone you really admire, admire their friendship, value their advice, would ring them.
Jon BeerHOST
You don't have that relationship with Tom Cleverley.
Jon BeerHOST
No, but I'd like to.
Jon BeerHOST
I spoke to Tom Cleverley more times than you spoke to Tom Cleverley.
Jon BeerHOST
So let's not get into that.
Jon BeerHOST
No, I'm saying I'd like to.
Ben FosterHOST
Just good, honest, hard-working lads.
Ben FosterHOST
So Cleves, Tom Cleverley, for example, he would be that guy, you know.
Ben FosterHOST
He was a liver and breather of football.
Ben FosterHOST
He loved to watch it, loved to analyse it and break it down and really invested in all of it.
Ben FosterHOST
And he would start a lot of games, but then a lot of the time he'd be on the bench as well.
Ben FosterHOST
But you knew you were just going to get the same level of Tom Cleverley, regardless of whether he was starting or not.
Ben FosterHOST
He'd still prepare the same, he'd still contribute, and he'd be a positive force for all of the lads, regardless of whether he was actually starting or whether he was on the bench.
Ben FosterHOST
He was brilliantly Did
JackHOST
We could.
OliHOST
We could end up with someone like Tom Cleverley, and he would just come out of the blue.
OliHOST
you're like why
JackHOST
and you know what i'm not against that
Tim SherwoodHOST
So I used to play him up there with Christian Benteke.
Tim SherwoodHOST
And I used to say to the midfield boys, 'cause I had Tom Cleverley in there with Fabian Delph and Westwood, great lads.
Tim SherwoodHOST
Understood what you wanted.
Tim SherwoodHOST
And I'd say, "Every time we get the ball in there, I want Gabby, you show me your number.
Tim SherwoodHOST
He'd be giving them bad news before I went in there, and I would have to calm him down, tell him to sit down.
Stevo the MadmanHOST
[laughs] Fair.
Tim SherwoodHOST
And when I used to tell people some stuff what I necessarily didn't believe, him and, like, Westwood and Tom Cleverley, they were on it, and they used to look at me and go, "Nice guy."
Stevo the MadmanHOST
Yeah.
PeterHOST
They've made some signings up front for the lo- from the lower leagues.
PeterHOST
Tolai from Tom Cleverley's lot, Plymouth.
PeterHOST
Did well last year.
PeterHOST
He's doing okay, but they'll see.
Ali MaxwellHOST
Then it's an easy game when you chuck a long throw into the box, opposition keeper comes to claim, fumbles it, pops up, Ronan Curtis nods it into an empty net for 2-0.
Ali MaxwellHOST
And then at halftime the message, I assume, is pretty clear from Tom Cleverley, "All right, lads, you're doing well.
Ali MaxwellHOST
Don't get complacent.
Ali MaxwellHOST
Let's see this out." Five minutes into the second half, ball into Bim Pepple.
Hugh WoozencroftHOST
How are you? I'm good, thank you.
Hugh WoozencroftHOST
We're going to discuss Argyle's win at the weekend in a little bit more detail later on and hear from the manager, Tom Cleverley.
Hugh WoozencroftHOST
But it was great to see you appearing in your first League One game of the season, that 3-0 win over Barnsley.
Hugh WoozencroftHOST
I know you played in the League Cup a little bit earlier on in the campaign, but how did it feel to get back into league action?
32 MINS LATER
Hugh WoozencroftHOST
It's a real learning experience for some of the players that they've got, albeit with some experience that helped make the difference on Saturday afternoon as well.
Hugh WoozencroftHOST
Right, let's talk about Plymouth Argyle, your beloved.
Hugh WoozencroftHOST
Your boss, Tom Cleverley, says that moving into League One's playoff places for the first time under his leadership is a significant moment.
Hugh WoozencroftHOST
The Pilgrims rose into the top six after that 3-0 win over Barnsley at Home Park.
Sam DownPANELIST
He was a real menace for the, for the Barnsley right back.
Sam DownPANELIST
He g- he gave the Barnsley right back a horrible time of it and he, yeah, in that kind of game management phase in, in the second half where we were just keeping the shape, not doing a lot, pressing very well he was very good in that phase of play as well and the pressing game is I think something that Tom Cleverley ha- he has as a must.
Sam DownPANELIST
It's a, it's a minimum expec- expectancy from everyone, from all of his players to, to be doing that hard pressing work off the ball.
Sam DownPANELIST
It's not a nice extra.
Sam DownPANELIST
It's a non-negotiable.
Sam DownPANELIST
Um, it's like Gary Neville would say you got your non-negotiables and I think that's one of those from, from Tom Cleverley is that all the attackers make for us.
Jon AllsopHOST
Oh dear.
Sam DownPANELIST
Uh, oh dear, dear.
Tom WoodsGUEST
Iro seems to have really added something to the side.
Tom WoodsGUEST
Um, you know, Tom Cleverley calls it a bit of an X factor, and that goal kind of demonstrates it.
Tom WoodsGUEST
So something really important about having that clarity of who you want to be, and you look at how good they were the back half of last season.
Tom WoodsGUEST
They've, they've carried that on.
