Loan stars available for play-offs

GOALSCORERS DJ Campbell and Stephen Dobbie will stay at Blackpool throughout the play-offs, should the Seasiders get that far.

And Seamus Coleman – whose loan deal runs out next Wednesday – says he also wants to stay for longer and "help the club win promotion".

"We'll see what Everton have to say and whatever both teams want is what matters," said Coleman, 21, who has made a real impression at right back – Pool are unbeaten in five games since he joined.

"I'd love to stay and help us get promoted.

"But if I have to go back then that's the way it is. I just have to do whatever I'm told – but hopefully it can be sorted."

Pool will open talks with Everton in the next few days.

But for strike duo Campbell and Dobbie there is no need. Both are signed until May 31 to allow them to take part in the play-offs, should the Seasiders get that far.

However, there is a clause in the deals which means neither could face their parent clubs in the play-offs – Campbell couldn't play against Leicester, Dobbie against Swansea.

The fact that the pair are scoring goals for the Seasiders has caused some mutterings among Leicester and Swansea fans, who can't understand why their players are at a club vying with them for a play-off place.

Holloway admits it was a tidy piece of business to get the pair, but says Leicester and Swansea weren't to know how well the duo would perform.

"We've all ended up as manager loaning out people who have done well elsewhere," said the Pool boss.

"I have watched Ishmel Demontagnac for Chesterfield in the last couple of games and he has scored and won a couple of penalties.

"The Chesterfield fans will probably be thinking 'how come he can't get in the Blackpool team?' So we've all got people that we are trying to bring on and nurture and sometimes you let them out on loan."
