More of the same please!

Seasiders boss Nigel Worthington has put four of his players on the transfer list, including recently signed goalkeeper Adam Rachel.

Aldridge, Garvey and Shuttleworth are the other three available for transfer.

Worthington says he is reshaping his team following a run which sees the Seasiders undefeated in four matches lifting themselves free from the relegation zone.

When Blackpool signed Rachel, Scunthorpe United were also keen on his signature, while Carlisle may be interested in having Aldridge on loan, although the Seasiders have had not been formally approached yet.

Meanwhile, the club is looking forward to next week's FA Cup second round tie against non-league Hendon.

And if (more probably when) the Seasiders make it through then they could come face to face with one of the Premiership big guns. "That would be terrific. It's every club's dream to get one of the big teams. But until our name is etched in stone in round three I wouldn't like to think about that," said Nigel.

"We put in a terrific performance against Stoke in the first round and a good draw against Hendon from the point of view it's a home tie.

"We can't afford to be complacent, they're something of an unknown entity. I am quietly confident, but there will be eleven players and a manager hoping to stop us reaching round three.

"But we've received the added boost of David Lee and John Durnin being allowed to play for us against Hendon.

"But I've decided to freshen up the squad a bit and that's why the four players are being allowed to go.

"We're now looking forward to Sunday's trip to Burnley (Nov 14). With good performances behind us it's a case of more of the same please."
