Carney: Pool can kick on

David Carney believes Blackpool can turn their flying start into a successful season. The Seasiders have confounded critics who expected the club to be rooted to the foot of the Barclays Premier League table by picking up seven points from their first four games to sit fourth. Although Blackpool know there will be tough times ahead, Carney, who made his debut in Saturday's 2-0 win at Newcastle, is confident they can handle it. He told Tangerine Player: "There's a good bunch of lads, and the manager's got us all really together. He likes to play attractive, fast football and I think that's why we're doing so well. "It's only early days so we've got to keep the hard work going and look forward to it because it's exciting times. If we carry on playing like this I think we can have a really good season." Next up for Blackpool is a trip to Premier League leaders Chelsea, and Australia international Carney added: "It's not an easy place to go but that's exactly why you want to be a footballer and play at the highest level, to go to places like that and test yourself against the best players in the world."
