Heading into the final eight games of the season, the Seasiders find themselves 21st in League One, and will be determined to get themselves out of trouble as quickly as possible.
On Tuesday evening, Ian Evatt’s side were able to pick up a vital three points, beating Port Vale 3-2 at Bloomfield Road.
The visitors led twice through Dajaune Brown and Rhys Walters, with equalisers coming from Niall Ennis and Ashley Fletcher, before a volley from substitute James Husband deflected in off Reuell Walters for the winner.
