And a goal or two from the man who signed an extended Ipswich Town contract last weekend could be just what the Blues need to break their away-day Coca-Cola Championship hoodoo.
“I have always enjoyed my games at Bloomfield Road,” said Birkenhead-born Walters.
“And I have always done well there in reserve games or whatever.

“I am looking forward to going back there, and fingers crossed it will prove to be my lucky ground again.”
Walters, who could play up front alongside Alan Lee or Pablo Counago, but is more likely to stay as a wide midfielder will be meeting up again with Blackpool boss Simon Grayson.

“It is obvious what is at stake and we don't want to throw away our great position.
“We have a wonderful opportunity to go on and make a serious promotion challenge.”
