Blackpool forward Matt Derbyshire believes that the club will give manager Paul Ince the time he needs to make his mark.

The Nottingham Forest loanee, who worked under Ince at Blackburn Rovers, declared that the Lancashire side forced him out too soon.

"Obviously I've known him from my time at Blackburn and he's a good manager," he told the club's official website. "He knows how to work with the boys and I enjoyed my time with him last time. It's always good to be playing under a manager who knows you.

"He hasn't changed that much, he's still the same manager and the same person. I think at Blackburn he didn't get enough time, and that was wrong.

"I think now though at Blackpool he'll get that time and I think he'll show a lot of people what he can do."

Blackpool play host to Bristol City in the Championship this weekend.
