Seasiders get Dobbie

Blackpool hope to have Stephen Dobbie available as they look to secure an npower Championship play-off spot against Burnley.

Dobbie has scored four times in as many starts since rejoining the Seasiders on loan from Swansea last month, but the 29-year-old forward missed Tuesday night's 1-0 win over Leeds with a stiff back.

Top-scorer Kevin Phillips is back in training after having an injection to ease a hip problem and he and Dobbie will push Gary Taylor-Fletcher and Lomana LuaLua, who are the men in possession up front.

Roman Bednar (knee) will be unable to add further firepower in attack, while centre-back Craig Cathcart remains a doubt due to a cyst on his knee.

Midfielder Keith Southern serves the final game of a three-match suspension.

Ian Holloway's side lie fifth in the Championship, and with Middlesbrough four points adrift in seventh, victory over the Clarets would seal a play-off berth.
