Blackpool currently have a number of options up front at the moment, with Kylian Kouassi also in good form.

The 20-year-old provided assists for both Lavery and Karamoko Dembele in the Seasiders’ 2-0 win at Hayes Lane.

"It was a lovely through ball for Shayne on the counter attack,” Critchley added.

"Then with Kaddy it’s a lovely one-two.

"Kylian has good awareness and good technique around the penalty area.”
