Ollie targeting double over Argyle a they beat the Pilgrims 2-0 at Bloomfield Road back in October with goals from Marcel Seip and David Vaughan sealing the victory. The Seasiders boss has fond memories of his time at Home Park, but is focused on Blackpool's play-off challenge.Holloway told the club's official website: "I'm looking forward to taking my team down there, we beat them 2-0 here and I thought we played them off the park. I've got to try and make sure we do that again."I know when I was down there I was Green Army through and through and I loved it. I've got some fantastic memories and I've got some fantastic pictures of me there. Everything I said down there I meant. I'm at Blackpool and water has now gone under the bridge, so they can say what they like."They've had a great run of results lately. Well done to Paul Mariner because it's not easy to turn around a side that was struggling a bit. He's done ever so well but I don't want him to do well on Saturday.Ollie has been boosted by Dobbie return as the Scottish forward is on loan at Bloomfield Road from Swansea but was ineligible to face his parent club on Tuesday due to the terms of the deal. Blackpool hammered the Swans 5-1 to keep their play-off hopes alive and Holloway will be reluctant to make changes as he prepares to return to his former club.Yet midfielder David Vaughan remains a doubt with an ankle injury and on-loan Leicester striker DJ Campbell is still missing with a thigh problem.Defender Neal Eardley is also absent due to a hamstring tear and Algeria international Hameur Bouazza is still sidelined with a groin problem.Chris Barker is a doubt for Blackpool after limping off with a hamstring problem against Ipswich in midweek.With Richard Eckersley (ankle) and David McNamee (hamstring) out and Gary Sawyer joining Bristol City, Chris Clark may have to fill in at left-back.
