OPPONENTS GUIDE #1:BLACKPOOL(H)

Doncaster open the Championship campaign against Blackpool,who struggled last season and finished 17th,close to the drop zone.

Despite their successful promotion to the top flight in 2010,Blackpool went through three managers last season.In October,Ian Holloway left the Tangerines 
for Crystal Palace.His replacement was former West Brom player Michael Appleton.After seven games in charge,Appleton was appointed Blackburn boss and was replaced by Paul Ince.

THE GAFFER-PAUL INCE
    INCE IS THR CURRENT MANAGER
Former Liverpool and Manchester United star Paul Ince has had a fruitful managerial career.

He is best known for managing the MK Dons from June 2007 until June 2008,when he was appointed Blackburn manager.However,he was sacked after winning only 6 of his 21 games in charge.

After a return to MK Dons for the 2009/10 season,Ince became Notts County manager with Alex Rae assisting him.He left the club after five months due to poor form.

Blackpool hired Ince in February 2013 and his first game in charge was a 2-0 defeat at Leeds.

ONE TO WATCH-TOM INCE
    INCE IS ONE OF THE BEST 
The son of current manager Paul,Tom was the first person to find out his dad was the new manager of the club.

The midfielder is only 21,but was watched by the Premier League closely last season.He has played 77 games and scored 24 goals for Blackpool and is sure to put up some superb performances next season.
