Despite the fine form that has confounded critics, Holloway insists he is focused only on extending the Seasiders' stay in the top flight after their promotion from the Championship last season.
The club were last in English football's top division in 1971.
"I just want to keep going. Twenty-two points won't keep you safe. How many more do we need? Maybe more than 40 points," he added.
"We are getting quite used to hanging on and we normally buckle, so I'm delighted things broke for us.
"They could easily have got an equaliser and if they had they might have gone on and won it.
"Let's finish the season now thanks very much, ninth place will do me, but it is not going to be. We have got to play 38 games and we've only played 16."
Stoke boss Tony Pulis, who spent his early playing days in the Bristol Rovers youth ranks alongside Holloway, was full of admiration for his counterpart's commitment to attacking football.
Pulis blames missed chances for defeat
"We have watched a lot of Blackpool this year and they are playing roulette football," he said.
"They are throwing the dice and hoping things will drop for them. They are very positive with it and playing with no fear."
Stoke hit the woodwork through Matthew Etherington and Ricardo Fuller before Rory Delap's injury-time effort was cleared off the line as the hosts pressed for an equaliser.
"I have never known us to have so many chances in the game since we won promotion. We have hit the woodwork and people were getting in the way of each other," stated Pulis.
"But even in the last three minutes of injury time we have had chances to score. Sometimes you have to take it on the chin and this is one of those occasions."
