The Seasiders will feel they should be higher up the League One table, with nine points separating Steve Bruce’s side and the top six.
While they have proven difficult to beat at times, they have also struggled to find a winning edge of their own – especially at home.
Last Saturday’s 3-1 victory over Crawley Town marked their first victory at Bloomfield Road since the end of September, and ended an eight-game run of draws in front of their own fans.
Like the results, it’s been a mixed bag for some of the Blackpool players this season, with a huge gap existing between what they can do at their best and at their worst.
Here’s our ratings from the campaign so far:
