Bailey Peacock-Farrell has been named Blackpool's Player of the Month for August. The goalkeeper says the recognition is a reward for his consistent work.
Peacock-Farrell told reporters he has enjoyed his start to the campaign. He said his good form is the result of hard work from the previous season now showing benefits.
His performances included notable saves in away games at Grimsby Town and Stockport County. The shutout he values most came in the league win over Peterborough United. It was his first of the season. He expressed a desire for many more clean sheets this year.
He was also among the nominees for the League One Player of the Month award. The Northern Ireland international is set to join up with his national team next week.
Team context
Blackpool currently sit 10th in the League One table with eight points from six matches. Their recent form has been mixed, with one win, one draw and three defeats in their last five outings. The most recent result was a draw at home to Bromley.
The goalkeeper noted a shift in the team's overall mentality compared to last season. He said the squad now looks more comfortable both in and out of possession.
Peacock-Farrell's immediate focus is on international duty before returning for Blackpool's next league fixture. The Seasiders host Plymouth Argyle at Bloomfield Road. Fans can check the full schedule on the club's fixtures page and see how the team stacks up in the standings.
