Blackpool leapt up to the dizzy heights of seventh in the Coca-Cola Championship and manager Ian Holloway admitted his team had committed "burglary" at Nottingham Forest.

Holloway, who saw his side claim a 1-0 win thanks to a Charlie Adam goal, even apologised to his opposite number Billy Davies for grabbing all three points at the City Ground.

The former QPR and Leicester manager Holloway said: "I felt as though we've nicked something, put it in the bag and got out of here with a win.

"In some ways it was `after the Lord Mayor's show' for us after beating Newcastle on Wednesday because we looked very tired. But at the end of the game we've come away with three points - fantastic!

"Forest were what our reports said about them - great going forward. But we managed to get a goal and then exploited them at the back. The goal that Charlie Adam scored was superb and it would have graced any level of football."
