Ultimate Edge Revealed: 7 Proven Techniques for Crushing Any Major Sports Match!
Blackpool boss Ian Evatt says he will no longer allow the pressure of their precarious position to force him to be cautious during the League One run-in.
Blackpool's most recent win before Tuesday's victory against Port Vale was against Mansfield Town on 17 February [Getty Images] Blackpool manager Ian Evatt has said he will no longer allow the pressure of their precarious position to force him to be cautious during the League One run-in. The Seasiders twice came from behind to beat Vale on Tuesday and move to within a point of safety by virtue of their victory, as well as 20th-placed Wigan's draw with Barnsley. That win ended a run of five games without a win for Evatt's side as they battle against relegation with the end of the season in sight.
"Maybe the situation we've been in, the amount of injuries we've had, the run of results we've been on, perhaps I've felt pressure," Evatt told BBC Radio Lancashire. "In terms of the pressure [I've been] a little bit too cautious. It's not going to happen now.
"I reminded myself this weekend of what this club is - a club that outscores or tries to outscore the opposition in every game, and that's what we're going to try and do. " Josh Bowler set up Blackpool's first goal and returned to the wing having played as an attacking midfielder of late. Evatt, who said he has not experienced a relegation battle during his time as a manager, credited Bowler's response.
"I'm an experienced manager now. I've been doing this for my eighth season and I've had a lot of success. But I also know I'm not the oracle," he added.
