Holloway gives three debuts against Wigan

Ian Holloway ended up with three new signings in his starting line-up for Blackpool’s first top-flight appearance since 1971.

Marlon Harewood, Craig Cathcart and Elliot Grandin were part of a rapid recruitment policy this week as Holloway finally injected some new blood into a squad that secured Premier League status by beating Cardiff in the play-off final at Wembley.
