DEADLY BEESLEY IS AT IT AGAIN!

NEIL Critchley was full of praise for Jake Beesley after the hitman scored twice to help crush Shrewsbury Town.

Beesley scored once in each half, either side of a Kyle Joseph strike that sealed all three points after Jordan Rhodes opened the scoring from the spot.

It was the striker’s first league goals of the season following a double in midweek against Morecambe in the EFL Trophy.

The result halts a three-game winless run in the league for the Seasiders and moves them to within goal difference of the League One play-offs.

“I’m made up for Jake,” said Critchley. “Four goals in a week is a great way to make your mark. He’s seen players come in before him but kept his professionalism. It’s been a good day for us. Scoring four goals and keeping a clean sheet is important as well because we’ve not had one for a while.

“You can become loose and complacent, so the message at half-time was to keep doing the basics well.
