The new calendar year has started with three consecutive defeats for the Seasiders, with the most recent being last Saturday’s 2-1 loss away to Barnsley.
Injuries haven’t helped the matter, with Albie Morgan recently joining the list of absentees.
In more positive news, Andy Lyons should be fine after being forced off at Oakwell, while Michael Ihiekwe has returned to training this week.
New signings have also arrived this week, with Joel Randall and Michael Obafemi making the move to Bloomfield Road.
With Northampton Town just below Blackpool in the League One table, it’s going to be vital for them to pick up three points.
