Blackpool FC: Neil Critchley gives his verdict on Jordan Rhodes' Seasiders debut

The striker came on for his debut in the game against the Imps in the 26th minute after Shayne Lavery was forced off with a hamstring problem.

Rhodes made the move to Bloomfield Road on Friday, after a season-long loan was agreed with Huddersfield Town.

“Jordan showed his quality when he came on,” Critchley said.

"He made a difference straight away, he brought something we were missing.

“The keeper made a great save from him when he nearly scored.

“He held the ball up well and brought us into the game well.

“He showed his experience and that was a positive for us today.

“He’s in good condition and is a good professional- you can see that by looking at him.

“He’s had some minutes in pre-season so I’ve got no concerns about him.”
