Holloway does not necessarily see the Ewood Park encounter as a 'six-pointer', even though both sides have slipped alarmingly towards the Premier League relegation zone, but he insists the Tangerines will not lack desire. The 48-year-old claims his team have shown no lack of commitment throughout a dismal run of just four points from nine games that has left them only a point above the bottom three. Blackburn are in a similar rut, having won just one in six, and questions have been asked about the club's direction under new owners Venky's and manager Steve Kean. Holloway, who guided Blackpool back to the top flight after a 39-year absence, said: "What we all want to do is keep our status. "We won't like relinquishing the fact we are a Premier League side. It might take years to get back there. We want to fight and scrap. "What you have to do is want it more than the opposition, and my team have done that week in, week out. "I am not expecting anything else. Our livelihoods depend on it. "We don't want to go back to where we were, scrapping for a living in the Championship. We want to be a Premier League outfit. "That's how much it means to us. I wonder how Blackburn look at it. "Let's enjoy every minute of our lives because one day it might be the last minute. "Even if we don't get what we want, I'm not going to cry over it. "How lucky are we to go out there and try our best? "I wonder if Blackburn feel that way at the minute with what has gone on there." When asked further about events at Blackburn since Venky's takeover last year, which have been the subject of much criticism and even ridicule, Holloway was reluctant to get involved. "It is none of my business," he said. "Good luck to them whatever they do - it is their choice and their owners. Get on with it." Blackpool made a superb start to the season and underlined their success with a victory over Liverpool in January which lifted them to 28 points after 21 games. They seemed to have safety within their grasp but, with only 32 points two months later, the situation is starting to become serious as games run out. Sides below such as West Ham and Wolves have cut the gap but Holloway has been quick to play down the significance of meeting another struggling side at this stage of the campaign. He said: "It is just one of the last nine games. "We could probably be unsuccessful in at least two thirds of them and yet still have the most success we have ever had - because if we stay up this year it will be a miracle. "We think we can win every game and we are going to have a go at it. "Our goal is no different. I wish I could wind back time to when we had 28 points with 17 games left - that was a nice feeling. "It's not now. We have only got nine and we have still probably got to win three of them. "But who is to say that still won't be possible if we don't win on Saturday? I think it is." Blackpool are boosted by the return of captain and talisman Charlie Adam after suspension but top scorer DJ Campbell serves the second game of a three-match ban for his sending off at Wolves. Holloway said: "Charlie is a good player and that is why we held onto him. "He is worth a lot of money and it is a good job he didn't go in January. "He gives us a certain thing we miss when he is not there. Hopefully he is on form and will play well."
