Holloway not getting carried away

Jason Euell put the hosts ahead in the third minute and Hameur Bouazza added a second eight minutes later to effectively secure the points.[LNB]"We are in the top six but so what?" Holloway said. "It's a great position to be in (fifth) but in a marathon we have run the first hundred yards.[LNB]"I'm not worried about our position, more about who can play in our defence on Tuesday.[LNB]"If this was a first date they haven't even taken our order yet, the night might turn out to be rubbish, she might walk out on me. Who's to say what will happen?[LNB]"But I am delighted with this win because I know Peterborough are a very good side and they will get stronger.[LNB]"They stopped us playing in midfield, they pushed forward and looked like they could score at any time.[LNB]"This is why I am delighted because today was a big test and we've come out the other end smiling."[LNB]His opposite number Darren Ferguson, however, was scathing of his side.[LNB]"We committed suicide," Ferguson said. "I'm very disappointed with the result today, although I'm more disappointed about the manner of the result.[LNB]"I stressed how much we had to concentrate from the start but the two goals we gifted them gave us an absolute mountain to climb.[LNB]"Last week against Reading was good in the second half, Tuesday's performance was very good but today was a choker.[LNB]"This was always going to be a big test but we shot ourselves in the foot.[LNB]"If we go on conceding goals like that it's going to be a very long season."[LNB]Blackpool's Algerian international Bouazza was keen to play down his stunning strike.[LNB]"Yes it was a great goal but it's a team game and I thought the team were magnificent today.[LNB]"They gave us lots of problems but we kept our shape and worked hard for the win.[LNB]"We're not thinking about our position, we just want maximum points from each game and just try and keep the run going.[LNB]"I'm really happy to be here, it's a good club and I just want to win more games."[LNB]Blackpool could have led inside the third minute when midfielder Keith Southern fired goalwards from 20 yards and Posh goalkeeper Joe Lewis was forced into a smart stop.[LNB]Seconds later, however, the opening goal came when left-back Stephen Crainey crossed dangerously and Euell rose highest to plant a firm header past Lewis from 12 yards.[LNB]Peterborough sought to find an immediate response and Aaron McLean saw his shot blocked by Blackpool defender Rob Edwards.[LNB]Yet Holloway's side retained the upper hand and after Brett Ormerod spurned a clear-cut opening from just six yards out, Bouazza added a second in the 11th minute.[LNB]Defender Neal Eardley's throw-in found its way through the former Watford and Fulham striker and he swept the ball home left-footed from six yards.[LNB][LNB][LNB]
