Blackpool boss Ian Holloway is proud of his players after they book their place in the Championship playoff final with victory over Birmingham.

Blackpool manager Ian Holloway has expressed his pride after the Seasiders booked their place in the Championship playoff final with victory over Birmingham City.

Despite relinquishing their two-goal lead, a 2-2 draw on the night at St Andrews was enough to give Holloway's side a 3-2 aggregate victory over the Blues.

"I'm so proud, we got ourselves in a brilliant situation, but what a fantastic fightback that was," he told Sky Sports News. "If they got an equaliser, I couldn't see us coming back, but it's over and we're going to Wembley again.

"I've got a great group of lads. We've played some fantastic stuff and I think we are getting better."

Blackpool will now play West Ham United for a place in the Premier League on Saturday, May 19.
