The league campaign began with a
West Lancashire derby fixture at Preston North End. The home side won 3–1. Blackpool's first victory didn't come until the sixth game, a 2–1 scoreline over Bristol City at Bloomfield Road. Out of the seven games in December, Blackpool won five, which — coupled with five victories in the final eight games of the season — assisted in their eighth-place finish. Their FA Cup campaign ended at the first hurdle, the Third Round stage, again. ==Table==
