HOLLOWAY HAPPY WITH THE WIN

Blackpool boss Ian Holloway has said that he is extremely happy with the club’s win over Stoke city. “To come to a place that is so hard to win at was a fantastic display. This is as good as we have been,” he said. “Even Lionel Messi couldn’t have done any better.”

DJ Campbell’s scored the only goal of the game to move the Seasiders up to 10th on a total of 22 points.

“Someone had us down for only 10 after 38 games,” reflected Holloway. “Bit of a laughing stock we were going to be.”

Blackpool now have four away wins – a total only bettered by Premier League leaders Chelsea and Man Utd.
