The Seasiders have picked up 13 points in their last six League One outings, which has seen them close the gap between themselves and sixth place Stevenage- who still have a game in hand.
Matthew Pennington’s second half goal proved to be the difference on Tuesday night as Neil Critchley’s side claimed a 1-0 victory over Northampton Town at Sixfields.
