Blackpool boss Neil Critchley

โ€œWe want to always try and play our way and improve playing our way, we want our team to be organised, hard working but play with some creativity as well.

โ€œI think weโ€™ve done that and had a good example of that in the last few games, the next two games are going to be really important I think to see where we can go after the international break with nine games to go.”

Swans boss Russell Martin

โ€œBlackpool are a team I know well from my time in League One. Neil [Critchley] is another manager who is showing the benefit of time with a group. Heโ€™s done a brilliant job and theyโ€™ve had a really solid first season back in the Championship.

โ€œTheyโ€™ll be really organised out of possession and make it really difficult. They pose a threat as well and in possession they can be really brave on the ball.”
