Pre-Match Thoughts

He said: "Blackpool have had some really good results so I'm well aware of the difficulty of the test that faces us.
"We've got Curtis Nelson here, who played there last year, so we've got a good feel of them but we've got to try and match them.
"It will be our hardest away game so far, I think."
Midfielder Tyrese Fornah also sat down with RamsTV on Monday morning and looked ahead to the clash at Bloomfield Road.
He said: "I've got mixed memories of my trips to Blackpool so far but we know what they are about, they've got some good individual players and are good as a team so we just have to go there and give a good account of ourselves."
