Holloway: We'll come out fighting

Blackpool manager Ian Holloway has told his side it is time to start all over again.

The club slipped into the Barclays Premier League relegation zone for the first time this season with a 3-1 home defeat against Wigan Athletic.
The Seasiders fell behind in just the third minute at Bloomfield Road when Hugo Rodallega slotted through Matt Gilks' legs, and Charles N'Zogbia made it 2-0 in first-half stoppage time.
Mohamed Diame sent in a third for the visitors via a deflection off Neal Eardley midway through the second period, rendering DJ Campbell's late reply a mere consolation.

The win lifted Wigan above their opponents and into 17th, leaving Holloway "just about ready to snarl".
"We have to start again now, because you are not given anything in life - you have to take it," he said.
"This suits us now. We are like a wounded animal and we know we are the dirtiest in the dog zone and we have to come out fighting for every scrap that is left.
"We should be the hungriest dog left in this and we have some scrapping and fighting to do. I am just about ready to snarl."
