Obviously, given Blackpool’s penchant for a stalemate, backing something in the draw market for our correct score prediction is preferable.

Instantly, when he picked up the ball and got his first assist for me, when he went on his dribble, you could see his ability. That's when I thought 'OK, he sees things, this is a good player'.
