Holloway certainly has Blackpool FC playing a good brand of attacking football this season. For a team that are unfashionable underdogs that have been universally written off for relegation, his effort is note worthy in such a cut throat and quality league.
Guiding such a small club compared to the other Premiership clubs, with a club imposed 10k pound a week salary cap he has done extremely well thus far, especially when you factor in the bulk of the latest signings only happening a few days before the season started and just before the transfer window cut off.
Holloway steered Blackpool FC to the premier league in one season as manager via play-offs from the Championship, with basically a squad of loans, other clubs rejects and a handful of good players, his ability to motivate a team is certainly on display for all to see.
It's a long season and Blackpool may very well be relegated, but at least it won't be through lack of playing with a little heart and attacking the opposition.
Interestingly all 3 wins have been won away from Bloomfield Road, with Blackpool only having played 2 home games so far, with a draw and a loss the net result.
Ian Holloway has certainly restored his credibility after his last managerial appointment ending up being sacked at Leicester.
