SAMMY McIlroy has signed Matt Blinkhorn on loan - and the Blackpool tower could make his Morecambe debut in the Christie Park showdown with St Albans.The six-foot striker, who celebrated his 22nd birthday on Friday,has spent time on loan at Bury and has featured twice as a Blackpool substitute this season.

Meanwhile, McIlroy wants his Morecambe to kick into home action tomorrow when St Albans arrive at Christie Park.

The Shrimps, without a win on their own patch this year, got their season back on track with a marvellous 3-1 win at Forest Green Rovers last Saturday.

And they have the chance to capitalise against the lowly Saints.

"It will not be easy," says McIlroy. "There are no easy games and it is the start of a hard month - but I want us to kick on from last weekend.

"We have to get the home form back on track and it has baffled me how and why we haven't won at home this year.

"The form at Christie Park is a complete reversal of what we are achieving away and I can't work out why.

"But we must put it right."

Skipper Jim Bentley and Ged Brannan are available again after suspension while Chris Blackburn could return as he nears fitness after a knee injury.

Michael Twiss remains sidelined however.
