Ian Holloway launches an attack on his players, calling them "horrendous" following Blackpool's crushing home defeat to West Ham.

Blackpool manager Ian Holloway has described his team's performance as "horrendous", following their 4-1 home defeat to ten-man West Ham United.

The Hammers had goalkeeper Robert Green sent off after 53 minutes and were forced to play with midfielder Henri Lansbury between the posts for the remainder of the game.

The Seasiders were unable to capitalise on either the one-man advantage or the inexperienced stopper and, after the game, Holloway attacked his side's lack of professionalism.

He said: "It was pretty horrendous from our point of view. Only one team turned up. In every single way they were better than us, they were more professional than us, they played it in the right way on a difficult surface and we just made mistake after mistake after mistake.

"To be honest, at half time, God knows what the real score should have been.

"Just about everything that could go wrong did. I felt my lot were caught in the emotion of it, they weren't professional, they didn't get it right and we were beaten by a better team."

The defeat was Blackpool's first of 2012 and it saw them drop out of the play-off places in the Championship table.
