“On the pitch it’s not always been easy but it’s a challenge of something I’ve not experienced before, so it’s about dealing with that, managing it and having to be ready to make an impact on the game.

“A win means so much more because they don’t come as often as if you’re at the top end of the division, so that feeling after a win is massive which is something we want to replicate as much as possible.”

“He’s easy to play with. You just bounce off him and go with it, so I enjoyed it and hopefully there’s more to come.”

Blackpool currently sit 23rd in the table and are four points from safety with eight games remaining.

The season resumes after the international break on April 1, with the Seasiders making the trip to Deepdale to face Preston North End (K.O. 12.30pm).
