Keith Southern wants more first-team action
Blackpool's Keith Southern is glad just to be involved again after being out since early December with an ankle ligament injury.

The 26-year-old midfielder returned for his first game in over two months to play 85 minutes in the goalless draw with Wolves on Tuesday night.

"I didn't expect to play," he said, "so it was an absolute bombshell.

"I was only told I was playing an hour before the game and thought I acquitted myself well," he told BBC Lancashire.

"He did the job I expected him to do so I was really pleased with Keith's contribution."
