The 2021–22 Blackpool F.C. season is the club's 113th season in the English Football League, and their first season back in the EFL Championship, the second tier of the Football League, after winning the EFL League One play-offs.[1][2] The season covers the period from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022.

The club reached the second round of the EFL Cup, exiting at the hands of Sunderland.

Pre-season[]

Blackpool announced they would have friendly matches against Squires Gate,[3] Southport,[3] Newport County,[3] Rangers,[4] Carlisle United,[3] Burnley,[5] Bamber Bridge[3] and Morecambe[3] as part of the club's pre-season preparations.

Accrington Stanley replaced Newport County in a change that was made on 16 July. The same day, the planned friendly against Bamber Bridge was cancelled.[6]

Irish defender Richard Keogh joined the club on 17 July following his release by Huddersfield Town.[7]

The Rangers friendly was cancelled on 19 July after a COVID-19 outbreak amongst the Blackpool squad.[8]

Former Scotland international Stuart McCall joined the club as assistant head coach to Neil Critchley on 22 July 2021, replacing the departed Colin Calderwood. McCall's father, Andy, played for the club in the 1940s and 1950s, and his sister was born in the town.[9]

Striker Tyreece John-Jules joined on a season-long loan from Arsenal on 29 July.[10]

A behind-closed-doors friendly was arranged against Manchester City on 3 August.[11]

Results[]

Blackpool's visit to nearby Squires Gate on 9 July ended in a 7–0 victory for the Tangerines, the goals coming from seven different players: Harrison, Mariette, Matshazi, Francis, Bange, Yelegon and Nyame.[12]

Another local derby, at Southport, the following day saw Blackpool win 2–0. The goals came from Demetri Mitchell and new signing Shayne Lavery. The visitors, who named different starting line-ups for each half, played most of the second with ten men, after CJ Hamilton went off with an injury.[13]

A visit to Accrington Stanley on 17 July ended in a 3–1 defeat. Demetri Mitchell scored the visitors' goal, from the penalty spot.[14] The same day, veteran defender Richard Keogh joined the club on a free transfer.

Blackpool travelled north to face Carlisle United on 24 July. Demetri Mitchell scored his third goal in the four fixtures in what was the only goal of the game.[15]

On 27 July, Burnley visited Bloomfield Road, and they returned east with a single-goal victory.[16]

On 29 July, 20-year-old forward Tyreece John-Jules joined on loan from Arsenal for the season.

Pre-season continued with a 1–1 draw at Morecambe on 31 July[17] (the visitors' goal coming from CJ Hamilton) and concluded with a 4–1 defeat at Premier League champions Manchester City on 3 August. Luke Garbutt scored Blackpool's goal from the penalty spot.[18]

"It was so demanding. I was really impressed with Blackpool – they have a young side with quality. They lost two or three balls in the build-up in the first minutes, but continued to do it. They did really well. We played against a good side – they did very well in many things, especially in the build-up. We had to do things to regain the ball as quick as possible."

— Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola after the match[19]

Season proper[]

August[]

Blackpool opened their league campaign with a 1–1 draw at Nigel Pearson's Bristol City on 7 August. Chris Martin put the hosts ahead just before the interval, and the score remained that way until the fourth minute of injury time, when second-half substitute Shayne Lavery scored on his debut. Blackpool were eighth place at the final whistle,[20] but dropped to thirteenth after the remaining fixtures were played.

Middlesbrough visited Bloomfield Road in the first round of the EFL Cup on 11 August. Blackpool won 3–0, with goals from Callum Connolly, Shayne Lavery and Keshi Anderson.[21]

Mick McCarthy's Cardiff City were next up at the seaside, and they returned to Wales with all three points after a 2–0 victory.[22]

A second-successive Championship defeat followed on 17 August, 1–0 at home at the hands of Coventry City. Blackpool did climb, to 22nd, after other results that evening.[23]

Blackpool made the long trip to Bournemouth on 21 August, and found themselves two goals down inside twenty minutes after a double from Dominic Solanke. Goals from James Husband and Jerry Yates (penalty) levelled matters,[24] giving the visitors their second point from a possible twelve since the start of the league campaign.

Three days later, Blackpool exited the EFL Cup at the second-round stage after losing 3–2 at home to Sunderland, whose Aiden O'Brien rounded out his hat-trick with a 92nd-minute winner.[25]

A third League defeat in Blackpool's opening five fixtures occurred at Millwall on 28 August. The visitors' Callum Connolly was sent off on 14 minutes, but Blackpool took the lead, with Shayne Lavery's fourth goal of the season, eleven minutes into the second half. Jed Wallace levelled for the Lions on 63 minutes from a free-kick. Jake Cooper scored the winner in the final minute.[26]

On transfer-deadline day, 31 August, Blackpool brought in four players: Jordan Gabriel (returning after being on loan at the club the previous season) in a permanent, four-year deal, while Ryan Wintle (Cardiff City), Dujon Sterling (Chelsea) and Owen Dale (Crewe Alexandra) joined on loan.

September[]

On 9 September, Blackpool named their 25-man squad. Due to injuries to Matty Virtue, Grant Ward and Gary Madine, three spaces were left open.[27]

The squad:

Goalkeepers: Daniel Grimshaw, Chris Maxwell, Stuart Moore. Defenders: Callum Connolly, Marvin Ekpiteta, Jordan Gabriel, Luke Garbutt, Daniel Gretarsson, James Husband, Reece James, Richard Keogh, Dujon Sterling (loan). Midfielders: Keshi Anderson, Josh Bowler, Owen Dale (loan), Kenny Dougall, Demetri Mitchell, Kevin Stewart, Ryan Wintle (loan). Forwards: Tyreece John-Jules (loan), Shayne Lavery, Jerry Yates.[27] Gary Madine, injured since last season, was registered just before the Huddersfield fixture on 14 September. He was named on the bench for that match.[28]

The under-21s:

Goalkeepers: Charlie Monks. Defenders: Oliver Casey, Ryan Grant, Cameron Hill, Sky Sinclair. Midfielders: Cameron Antwi, Rob Apter, Sonny Carey, Luke Mariette, Matthew Liptrott. Forwards: Ewan Bange, Brad Holmes, Johnny Johnston.[27]

Also on 9 September, youth defender Charlie Penman joined Brighton and Hove Albion for an undisclosed fee.[29]

Division leaders Fulham visited Bloomfield Road on 11 September. Josh Bowler's second-half strike gave Blackpool their first League win of the season, while also handing the visitors their first League defeat. The hosts climbed three places to 19th.[30]

A 3–0 home defeat followed to Huddersfield Town on 14 September.[31]

Blackpool's second league victory of the campaign was achieved at Middlesbrough on 18 September. Marcus Tavernier put Boro ahead inside ten minutes, but goal from Marvin Ekpiteta and own goal by former Blackpool loanee Grant Hall gave Blackpool the three points.[32]
