We'll start with Richard O'Donnell in goal. Throughout his time at Bloomfield Road, the 36-year-old was always a solid enough back-up option, but never truly pushed to be the main starter.

Why defender deserved the main Blackpool honour after stellar season

We'll start with an obvious choice, it's got to be Harry Tyrer in goal. Despite his early struggles, which saw him lose his spot at one stage, the Everton loanee has been able to cement his spot between the sticks in recent times.

Elliot Embleton's Blackpool departure was dealt with swiftly at the start of the window. Having joined the club back in the summer, the attacking midfielder was clearly lacking match fitness following a long spell on the sidelines, and soon saw his favoured position taken out of the equation after Bruce's appointment. The 25-year-old never looked quite right filling in as a winger, and the decision to part ways was best for everyone involved.
