Blackpool manager Simon Grayson was pleased with his deadline day business after landing Crystal Palace goalkeeper Scott Flinders and Tottenham youngster Joe Martin until the end of the season.

Both players can feature in the Seasiders' last six games of the campaign as Grayson aims to banish any lingering relegation fears.

He told the club's official website: "I just felt that goalkeeping was an area that we really needed to sort of have some cover.

"We went into it last year where we eventually had to use the emergency loan market. Scott's got good experience, is still only young and is hungry to improve.

"Not many people know about Joe but he's got good pedigree. He's been at Tottenham, played regularly in their reserves, is left footed and can play anywhere down the left-hand side, as well as midfield and centre-half.

"Both of them are very hungry to perform and do well here."
