After back-to-back league defeats at the start of the campaign, the Seasiders parted ways with head coach Neil Critchley, just over a year on from his return to the club.
Richard Keogh took interim charge for a period, overseeing two draws in League One, as well as wins in both the EFL Cup against Blackburn Rovers and a EFL Trophy group stage tie with Crewe Alexandrea.
Blackpool ultimately ended up appointing Steve Bruce on a permanent basis, with the 63-year-old enjoying a bright start to life at Bloomfield Road.
Up until Saturday’s 2-0 defeat away to Mansfield Town, the Seasiders had enjoyed a five-game unbeaten run in the league under their new boss.
With plenty of change taking place, it’s been a mixed bag in terms of how the squad have performed in the last few months.
