Blackpool boss Neil Critchley says the team’s forthcoming free week is “very welcome” as he lays out his strategy ahead of Charlton Athletic’s visit. Neil Critchley is thrilled to have more time in the next week to work on enhancing his team’s performances.

The last month has been quite hectic for the Seasiders due to a packed schedule that includes many cup games and the Christmas season.

Prior to Saturday’s match at Bloomfield Road versus Charlton Athletic, Critchley will have his team’s first opportunity in a while to work on specific areas.

“I’m a coach and I want to get on the training pitch,” he said.

“I want to improve my team and work on certain aspects of our performance. I can’t remember the last time we had what I would call a real training session where you tactically get better; we’ve not had a chance to do that. It’s been pretty much maintenance in between games and preparing for the next match, so we’ll get a chance to do that, which will be most welcome from my point of view.

“After a couple of midweek games and that period around Christmas, we’ve got a free week now- which is much-needed. We’re building a little bit of momentum in the league, so we need to keep winning. If we want to be where we want to be at the end of the season we need to keep picking up points.”
