Holloway seeks home comforts

Blackpool boss Ian Holloway is happy to be back at home after learning some harsh lessons on his travels. Holloway's side play only their second game at Bloomfield Road since winning promotion to the Barclays Premier League when they take on Blackburn. Building work has meant four of the Tangerines' first five games have been on the road and two of them have proved rude awakenings - a 6-0 hammering at Arsenal and a 4-0 thrashing by Chelsea. "Whatever we'd have done we'd still be out there now languishing against a team that are light years ahead of us," said Holloway of the Stamford Bridge drubbing. "Whatever I did, whatever I tried they were better than us. "At half-time it was already done and dusted - they were that good, they scored a goal every 10 minutes. But let's move on. We've got Blackburn at home. "It'll be nice to have a home game. We have only had one home game and that seems a lifetime ago. When I walked across the grass I thought I was on someone else's pitch. I want to try to score some goals. If we can do that, we might be a handful."
