The Seasiders opened the campaign with a 2-1 defeat away to Crawley Town last weekend, but bounced back with a 4-0 victory over Burton Albion at the Pirelli Stadium on Tuesday night in the first round of the EFL Cup.
Following a number of standout performances against the Brewers, there’ll be some tough decisions for Neil Critchley to make.
