The 40-year-old began life as the club’s interim boss with a 3-1 defeat to Luton on Easter Monday despite a much improved display.
With the Seasiders seven points adrift of safety with only five games remaining, it really is now or never if Blackpool are going to pull off an unlikely great escape.

Key Events
- FT: Blackpool 1-0 Wigan
- Stephen Dobbie takes charge of first home game
- Last chance for the Seasiders in bottom-of-the-table clash
2 - GOAL BLACKPOOL!!! (1-0)
Straight back into the side and straight back among the goals. What a clinical finish too - races onto Keshi Anderson's clever through-ball and fires home across the keeper.
What a start!!
7 - Almost
Jerry Yates is almost in again but Ian Poveda just delays his pass a second too long leaving the striker offside.
12 - Blocked
Lewis Fiorini has a long-range shot blocked after some intricate play from Blackpool down the right flank.
19 - Lull
The game has instantly cooled down after that lightning fast start. Dobbie’s men appear happy to sit back in their structure and frustrate the visitors, whose fans in the East Stand are becoming increasingly frustrated.
21 - Wide
Thelo Aasgaard is invited to shoot from long range by the Wigan fans but he drags his effort well wide.
