Ian Holloway: Wants a bit of revenge against Everton after suffering relegation from the Premier League
Blackpool boss Ian Holloway has challenged his side to go to Everton and cause a shock in the FA Cup fifth round after a victory over Sheffield Wednesday which left Gary Megson prioritising the league.
The Seasiders booked their trip to Goodison Park thanks to the easiest of victories in their fourth-round replay at Hillsborough, which came courtesy of first-half efforts from Matt Phillips and Lomana LuaLua, while Ludovic Sylvestre struck after the interval.All three goals were from the top drawer and after an incisive attacking display, Holloway wanted his side to reproduce that form on Merseyside."We have to try and replicate that at his place against his team," he said when asked what Everton manager David Moyes would have thought of Tuesday night's performance."They beat us 5-3 at their place last season and we drew 2-2 at ours and they kept their status and we didn't.Chop and change"We have to go there, a very tough place to go and they will be favourites, but let's see what we can do."We have got some unbelievably exciting games before that, though."Wednesday boss Megson insisted he wanted to progress, but was happy to now concentrate on their quest to earn promotion from League One."We certainly wanted to win, but everything at this football club points to being successful in the league and we are not strong enough to beat Yeovil, take on a strong Blackpool side and then go to Exeter (on Saturday)," he said."We had to chop and change the team."If anybody would have said to me, 'you're playing three games in the next seven days which two do you want to win?', I would have said the two league games."Our priority has to be the league and we now have to pitch up and put in a performance at Exeter."Read more http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/7494734/
