What transfer business Blackpool faithful want to see in January window - as Swansea City man named

Blackpool fans have taken to social media to share their thoughts on the upcoming January window.

It’s been a poor opening four months to the campaign at Bloomfield Road, with the Seasiders currently occupying a place in the relegation zone having picked up just 16 points from their opening 17 matches.

Despite a significant overhaul in the summer, which saw the arrivals of 12 new faces on the Fylde Coast under Steve Bruce, the head coach was sacked in October, with the club sat bottom of League One.

With Ian Evatt now in the hot seat, it has prompted a significant improvement in performances, with Blackpool winning two of their first four matches under the former Bolton Wanderers man.

Although the a busy festive period is coming up, the January window is fast approaching and there is no doubt preparations will be well underway behind the scenes as Evatt looks stamp his mark on the squad.

We penned the question to the Bloomfield Road faithful as to what should be the priority for the Seasiders in January as they bid to escape the relegation battle during the second half of the season.

Here’s the best of the reaction from Facebook - and there’s one name which stands out to supporters.

What Blackpool fans want in January

Martin Howell: Santos on loan from Swansea!!! It'd guaranteed, probably play one game and be injured for the rest of the season!! But the family fridge will be full.

Akim Polakovs: A big striker who can jump and win the ball and a midfield player who gets stuck in to the tackle we are too weak at the moment.

Ian Yates: Definitely a goalkeeper, 2 midfielders and a winger. At least.

Scotty Martin: Keeper, centre half.

Graham Parker: Goalkeeper, striker and a midfielder who can pass a ball accurately.

Wayne Heys: Two central midfield players who can play forward between the lines and a winger who can cross the ball.

Simon Yates: His favourite Santos on loan from Swansea is a certainty.

Bluey Greene: Midfield General.

Alan James Kilbride: A decent squad of players, definitely a keeper as priority.

Martin Newton: Goalkeeper and experienced goal scorer.

Matthew J Holder: Speed merchant on the wing so we're not solely relying on CJ, keep teams guessing as we've not replaced Apter yet. Probably just let the rest get fit and we'll have a team that could beat anyone in the league.

Matt Turner: Ball playing CM we have enough attacking options.

Alan Clark: More quality wanted across the board

Ryan Philip Stott: Big Rico Santos.

Vincent Holder: Attacking midfield, wingers and wing backs.
