Mirror Blackpool & We Will Do Well States Grayson

Simon Grayson will be heading back to the place where he spent six years as a player and a manager tonight when Huddersfield Town visit Blackpool to take on The Tangerines in The Championship. The terriers are on a five game unbeaten streak but face one of the favourites to gain promotion tonight at Bloomfield Road and Grayson stated that if Town can mirror the way Blackpool have played over the years then they will go a long way;

"Blackpool have a fantastic way of playing and a team ethic which is very strong, and that's exactly what I've tried to create at every club I've been at including here. When I was a player at Leicester we had a fantastic camaraderie and spirit about us and we never knew when we were beaten."

"It reflects in the supporters too. If they can see players are running and running, chasing things down and making tackles, they can forgive you the odd mistake along the way and will back you to the hilt. That's always been my attitude to the game, I've always looked for that in players and tried to get the message across to them and supporters definitely buy into that and love to see their team playing that way."

"Tonight's game will be a test, that's for sure, but the aim will be the same as always, to earn the right to play, win the battle, and then go and do what we are capable of."

Grayson continued to describe how his team has won their last two games against Derby & Sheffield Wednesday;

"We have got good players in our side, lads who like to get on the ball and play, and as a group we have the attitude that we want to be hard to beat. There are different ways of doing that, like we've already shown, and we'll have to do it again when we come up against a very good Blackpool side."

"Against Sheffield Wednesday we put bodies on the line, while against Derby we ran ourselves into the ground against a team with plenty of rotation, so we know we can dig in and do the job. Tonight is a great challenge for myself, for Keith Southern and for Peter Clarke, who was also a big part of the club's emergence over the last few years, but the only way we will all enjoy going back to Blackpool is if we win the game."
