Last weekend’s meeting with Mansfield Town was the Seasiders eighth consecutive draw in front of their own fans.
Following a poor display on the whole, Steve Bruce was left pleased with a point on that occasion, but will be concerned by the amount of time that has passed since his side’s last home win back in September.
Blackpool have been handed two injury boosts this week, with Odel Offiah able to train after being forced off in the 3-3 draw with Mansfield, while Matthew Pennington has also been able to take part in some sessions at Squires Gate.
