I think it goes without saying today’s deadline should be a busy one for the Seasiders. It certainly needs to be anyway.
Neil Critchley has stated repeatedly in recent weeks that the club are looking to strengthen “in one or two areas”.

But has that all changed at the last minute? That’s the word. What a deadline day piece of business that would be! Watch this space...
