Blackpool boss Ian Holloway says "we didn't expect to score today". Ian Holloway: "Am I happy? That's an understatement, my friend. "I am more than delighted with that. If there was a better word than delighted, I would like to think about it now and say it. "I might make my own up - phantasmagorical, whatever. "If you think about the end of last season, the trouncing we got here, if you look at how short a period of time it is, if you look at the quality they have got, I am absolutely delighted. "My boys get stronger and better all the time and I have got to be careful that I don't burst with pride about them because we had the worst day ever yesterday in my football management. "One of my staff is ill - I had to tell the young lads, cancel their game, I had to tell our boys and I couldn't be more proud of a group who even paid tribute to Parky on their shirts today. "If I had known that, I would have gone mad because I wouldn't have pre-empted scoring a goal here, but I am very glad that we stick together."
