The Seasiders got the 2026/27 campaign underway with a 3-1 victory over Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup last Saturday.
Niall Ennis’ early opener gave the Fylde Coast outfit the advantage in the tie, with Josh Bowler and Kylian Kouassi ensuring the win with second half goals either side of one from Harvey Rodgers.
Bailey Peacock-Farrell was chiefly responsible for getting Ian Evatt’s side through with a number of impressive saves, before being beaten in stoppage time.
Attention turns to the league this weekend, but injuries continue to be a topic of concern at Bloomfield Road.
While Ilmari Niskanen has been added to the list of absentees due to the shoulder issue he suffered at Blundell Park, several players should be better equipped after getting minutes off the bench.
