Blackpool held Cardiff City to a 0-0 draw in South Wales on Saturday afternoon.

Ian Evatt states Karoy Anderson delivered everything he had hoped for in Blackpool’s 0-0 stalemate with Cardiff City.

The midfielder was brought into the Seasiders’ starting XI for the game in South Wales as one of five changes from Tuesday’s 3-2 victory over Port Vale.

It proved to be one of the 21-year-old’s best performances to date since making a Deadline Day switch to Bloomfield Road on loan from Charlton Athletic last month.

After featuring 10 times for the Addicks in the Championship during the first half of the campaign, Anderson joined Blackpool in order to experience more regular game time, and has already matched his total of outings in the second tier.

Seasiders boss Evatt was left impressed by the Jamaican international’s impact on Saturday afternoon, and highlighted the key qualities that earned him a place in the team.

“Kay is an out of possession monster,” he said.

“He’s incredible against the ball. His timing of when to jump and when to press, how he presses, blocking passing lanes - he’s just really intelligent at doing that side of the game.

“He’s a young boy and will develop in possession, but we knew today we’d spend large spells out of possession and he was the perfect man for that job.”
