Blackpool Manager’s comments

Sums it up quite well I think:
“It’s not been pleasant for them,” Critchley said ahead of tonight’s encounter.

“Paul Cook and the team last season were doing a fantastic job. They had an unbelievable second half to the season and were mid-table in the Championship.

“Then for that to happen completely out of the blue was really shocking, and you can only feel for the people at the club and the supporters especially.

“It’s not a nice situation for them to be in at all and you’d have to say they’re very unfortunate to be where they are and to even be in this division.

“You only have to look at the squad of players they had last season and how well they did. They were quite deservedly a Championship team.”
