Grayson under pressure

Blackpool midfielder Claus Jorgensen has backed manager Simon Grayson to cope with the pressure of a slow start to the League One season.
The Seasiders have won just once in nine league games this term, but Jorgensen believes that better times are around the corner if the squad show their mettle.
He told the Blackpool Gazette: "If there is pressure on him he doesn't act as if there is, and that's how a manager has to be otherwise it can transfer itself to the players.
"But there is also pressure on us players because we have to perform and when we went 2-1 behind to Oldham, it showed we could cope with that pressure.
"Basically everyone at and surrounding the club has to stick together.
"We are nine games into the season and if there is too much pressure now, then goodness knows what it is going to be like towards the end."
