It’s been an inconsistent campaign for Blackpool- but a number of players have still been able to standout with their individual performances.
At the moment, claiming the final play-off spot looks like a tough ask for the Seasiders, who currently sit six points off sixth place Oxford United with four games remaining. Lincoln City are also four ahead of Neil Critchley’s side, while Stevenage are just behind them on goal difference.
Despite their inconsistencies, there have been players in Tangerine who have impressed in both defence and attack throughout the campaign.
Here’s our six contenders to be Blackpool player of the year:

7. James Husband

Karamoko Dembele has been a breath of fresh air for the Seasiders this season, as he's proven to be a different type of player to anyone else in the division, nevermind just the club. It's been interesting to see him grow this season as he's adapted to the competition and the number of games he's required to play. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
Jordan Rhodes is Blackpool's top scorer this season with 15 goals- and that's without finding the back of the net since September. Without the Huddersfield loanee, the Seasiders' season would've been over long ago, and he's been a real miss in his recent stints on the sidelines. Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker
The reactions of Rhodes are impressive, with not many other players having the ability to score some of the goals that he has this season. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
