The Seasiders suffered a 1-0 defeat to Derby County on Good Friday, before drawing 0-0 with Wycombe Wanderers a few days later, which leaves them six points off sixth place with a number of teams ahead of them with five games to go.
Form has been hit and miss at times this season, with certain dips a various moments throughout the campaign set to be costly.
Neil Critchley has enjoyed success with Blackpool at this level before, having won the play-offs in 2021, but it’ll be a big ask now to replicate that this time round.
Here’s the head coaches win percentage in all competitions this season compared to his previous stint and others who have been in the job since 2009:
