The Seasiders’ football has been much more pleasing on the eye under Dunn’s tutelage and that suits Dewsbury-Hall’s style of play.

“Since Dunny has come in he’s been fantastic with the lads,” the on-loan Leicester City man said.

“He’s got us working. We’re all giving 100 per cent for him and we rewarded him with a win.

“To be honest I thought we deserved the win in his first game against Bristol Rovers, when we were unlucky to lose.

“But it’s great to finally get him that win, and hopefully now we can build on that and take it into the next game against Ipswich Town on Saturday.”

Dewsbury-Hall was brought to Bloomfield Road by Simon Grayson last month on a loan deal until the end of the season.

However, barely two weeks later Dewsbury-Hall was training and playing under a different coach after Grayson was given the sack.

“Obviously it’s been difficult as the gaffer was the man that brought me in, so it was tough to see him go,” the 21-year-old added.

Football is a ruthless game as we all know, so it was about sticking to my task, remaining focused and playing as well as I can for Dunny and hopefully the new manager that comes in.

“It will happen when it happens with the new manager. All we can do is continue to play as well as we can and train as well as we can.

“When the new gaffer comes in we’ll all be ready to implement what he wants us to do on the pitch.”

Dewsbury-Hall has rightfully earned plenty of plaudits after seven appearances for the club.

The classy midfielder has displayed his quality, also scoring on his debut at Wycombe Wanderers a month ago.

“I’m really enjoying my time here,” Dewsbury-Hall said. “This is my first loan, so it’s my first proper taste of league football.

Blackpool have given me a great opportunity here. They’ve played me in games and allowed me to express myself to show what I can do.

“It’s a great club. The fans are crazy as you saw against Bolton!

“I just want to continue playing well and hopefully we can put some wins together to get us up that table.

“I’m also enjoying playing with Connor Ronan in the midfield.

“At times our combination play has been really good and we always seem to be on the same wavelength.”
