Season synopsis

Inconsistency throughout Blackpool's league season saw three straight defeats in their second, third and fourth outings, followed by three victories. Four defeats in a row occurred between 10 February and 2 March, with only one goal scored in their favour.

After two first-round replays against Crewe Alexandra (the first being abandoned after 61 minutes) in the FA Cup, Blackpool were knocked out at Bolton Wanderers in round two.
