Holloway to decide on recalls

Blackpool boss Ian Holloway must decide how many of the 10 players he left out of Wednesday’s 3-2 defeat by Aston Villa to recall for tomorrow’s Barclays Premier League trip to West Ham.

The Premier League are investigating whether Holloway fielded a weakened team but the Tangerines manager was adamant the players deserved their chance and admitted yesterday they have given him a major headache for Upton Park.

Defender Craig Cathcart will also be in contention after a scan on his knee problem came back clear and he could replace Dekel Keinan, who hobbled out of the game at Villa Park.

Team (from): Gilks, Kingson, Keinan, Edwards, Eardley, Taylor-Fletcher, Crainey, Evatt, Adam, Vaughan, Varney, Ormerod, Campbell, Grandin, Harewood, Southern, Carney, Basham, Euell, Sylvestre, Demontagnac, Phillips, Cathcart.
