Blackpool<\/a> manager Ian Holloway<\/a> remains adamant that his team can surprise people and stay in the Premier League<\/a> this season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Holloway\u2019s men came from behind to secure a 1-1 draw with Newcastle to keep them out of the relegation zone on goal difference and the Seasiders manager believes his team will fight to the very end.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSo people who want to write us off can do it at their peril because we still believe we have got one hell of a fight on our hands and one hell of a chance to stay at this level,\u201d he told Sky Sports.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI thought my lads were absolutely fantastic today and they need to be to the very last game and the last whistle goes, we\u2019ve got to set that as our benchmark.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI thought we were terrific. They scored against the run of play. One shot it goes in but we didn\u2019t flinch, we carried on and kept going and kept going and that\u2019s the best we\u2019ve played for months.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Holloway felt his team should have been awarded two clear penalties in the game and was disappointed they didn\u2019t get the decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI thought we had two clear penalties, that\u2019s why I was shouting and screaming at the fourth official,” he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I didn\u2019t mean to but it\u2019s an emotional day and emotional game but today there was some strange things given and some things that didn\u2019t go our way. I cannot believe it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt can\u2019t be week in week out that we don\u2019t get decisions that other people do.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Holloway was also disappointed with the amount of time that was added on at the end of the game, believing that they should have had more time.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said: \u201cAnd how we can have three minutes of extra time there when Ameobi\u2019s taken that on his own?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEven Alan Pardew\u2019s telling him to walk a bit quicker when substituted I thought it was Easter Monday by the time he got to the bench. I thought he had a zimmer frame that\u2019s how slow he was walking and the referee should have added a bit more time than that.”<\/span><\/p>\n
