View from the manager, Neil Critchley
“It’s been a pleasing start to the season but as coaches you always want more, and we know there is always room for improvement. I have to say the application has been outstanding and that’s all you can ask for from your players. They have given us everything and it’s a direct consequence of how they have been training. It has been really competitive in a nice way, they challenge each other and they want to get better, and they have got their rewards for that.
“It was nice for the boys to pick up some silverware last week when we beat Fleetwood Town in the final of the Lancashire Cup. You always want to win things and as a player that’s what it’s all about. Full credit to Fleetwood who gave us a really tough game but we stuck together and it was great to see the boys celebrating with the trophy at the end.”

“We have been very pleased with the way we have started the season as a group. We had a really strong pre-season, we all came back in a really good shape, and since day one we hit the ground running. Neil Critchley has worked us really hard in training, working on our shape and our movement and how he wants us to play, and I think it’s really showing in the games. In our last Premier League 2 game we came from behind to win 2-1 away at Arsenal. I thought the second-half turnaround was massive for us as a team. To score a 90th-minute winner it was great come back in the dressing room and we were all on a massive high. It was a good feeling.”
