Blackpool manager Ian Holloway is delighted that Kevin Phillips and Roman Bednar have picked up where they left off at West Brom.
Bednar joined the Seasiders on loan until the end of the season last month and was reunited with veteran striker Phillips, with whom he enjoyed such a fruitful alliance during their time together at the Hawthorns.
In both Bednar's games for Blackpool so far he has come off the bench with Phillips to watch his strike partner level a 1-0 deficit before the Tangerines claimed dramatic wins over Coventry and Cardiff.
Speaking about the 28-year-old Czech forward, Holloway said: "How long have I said to my chairman that I need a big `un? But I need a big `un who can run and a big one who's clever and has got a brain.
"They are hard to find and I think we've got one. You have to have subs who can make a difference."
He added: "It was like watching West Brom a couple of years ago - those two floating around each other. I wonder how many goals they got between them? Let's hope they do that for us."

Superkev is great,wish Baggies still had him as we cant seem to buy a goal!
Good luck to both of them, they were quality at WBA
hope they do the business and get your team back where it should be as the premietrship is the poorer for your tem not being there.
