Just a few games into the campaign, the club underwent a massive change following the sacking of Neil Critchley and the appointment of Steve Bruce.
The wing-back focused system of the previous 12 months was thrown out of the window, with a 4-4-2 formation making its return on the Fylde Coast.
Initially this change left the Seasiders short in certain areas, but during the January transfer window some early radical changes were made – which will no doubt be a sign of things to come this summer.
While Blackpool have been hard to beat under Bruce, a lack of winning edge at times is set to be costly to their top six ambitions, with a big swing needed for them to reach the play-offs.
Despite this, there have been a number of impressive figures throughout the season so far.
Here’s our strongest Seasiders XI and bench:

13. SUB: Elkan Baggott

14. SUB: Hayden Coulson
Hayden Coulson certainly brings more attacking threat to the Seasiders when he's on the pitch, but can sometimes be caught out defensively. Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker

15. SUB: Rob Apter
Rob Apter is extremely unfortunate to miss out based on what he's done at times this season, but he's probably been overplayed a bit too much - which has caught up with him at times. Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker

16. SUB: CJ Hamilton
CJ Hamilton can be a threat on his day but just lacks a bit of consistency. Photo: CameraSport - Rich Linley

17. SUB: Sammy Silvera
There's been a couple of bright signs since Sammy Silvera joined the Seasiders on loan from Middlesbrough in January, but not enough to suggest he should be given a starting spot. Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker

18. SUB: Jake Beesley
It's not been a great season for Jake Beesley, and he's nowhere near those in the starting XI based on that, but in the past he has proven himself to be a goal threat. Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker
