Anyone else not overwhelmed by the Critchley return?

Yes. Very underwhelmed. And if we don't start well you just know the fans will be on his back big time.

I wish him well but I hope Sadler has a contingency plan this time. Feels flat.

Me too & Dobbs must be disappointed.
SS had best support Critchley with a very good assistant, sports director & player budget to rebuild the team or he's got no chance of succeeding.

Again, as said a thousand times before, that’s a problem with the fans, not anyone else.

Grown men crying after a few defeats is pathetic

The best thing the club could do would be to stop engaging with fans, get their heads down and get on with the job at hand. Let the results do the talking.

The entitlement of some to want to know the forensics of every facet of the club is pathetic.
 
Tough one to consider.... On the one hand its another appointment of a former manager, but on the other and just looking strictly at his CV, I would say wow he should be holding out for a job at the lower end of the championship. So its hard to say, its not like Appleton who was a league one manager at best.

It’s not what QPR fans might be saying
 
We've had too many saying who should be appointed, putting all their eggs in that basket, then throwing a strop when they don't get their way.

It's juvenile at best.

Either support the manager, the team and the club or stop.

The last thing we need is a grumbling, entitled fanbase.

When it comes down to it, who has a better CV from the many names that have appeared over the last few weeks?
 
A bit underwhelmed but not too upset about it either. He's a proven L1 promotion manager and easily kept us up in the championship. I'm quite positive about the appointment, his QPR championship failure apart,but I think 4 years is a bit o t t

Obviously upto Simon as he pays the bills at the end of the day but I was personally bored senseless by his style of play before he left…… hope it’s a bit more exciting this time round 🤔🙄

Agree it was the style of play rather than how he left that was the issue for me( as, well as, signing far more players, than we could name in a, squad which screwed us up last summer)
Dobbie was often without a recognised striker, but we still had significant goal attempts.
Some players will be happy
Matty Virtue, Carey, Hubbie to name but 3, maybe our performances toward the end of his first stint have influenced my thinking, but if he wants to win fans, round we will have to be far more attacking than he was

yes we all need to stop bickering and slagging each other and start backing the coach players and club , and hopefully Simon has learnt from last seasons mistakes and he start rectifying the problems
I never wanted Dobbie , but I still like the man , I just thought he lacked the experience, and if it went wrong Then where next for Dobbie 🤷
I’ve bade mistakes in my life , and I e had to put back my mistakes , I was angry at Simon for relegation,
but now it’s time to support
in my time as a pool fan I’ve never seen pool win a league , be nice 🤞🧡
 
I’m absolutely over the moon with the appointment to be honest. I very much doubt there was a more suitable / better candidate.

A great manager who is capable of the kind of pragmatism, creativity and tactical intelligence that will see us maximise the bang for our buck.

There’s now the added bonus that he’s much more likely to be around for the longer term, having sampled life outside the tangerine bubble.

Every single supporter needs to get behind this appointment and cut out the negative shit that ruined last season…👍

This is a first class appointment…. And we will be successful…

EPL here we come !!

Personally I was hoping for a clean slate appointment if not Dobbs who must feel somewhat deflated I would have thought

Critchley is going to have a task on his hands winning some over - an issue any new appointment wouldn't have had to deal with

Up to SS to support him to make sure we get off to a good start

You'd hope SS and NC will be talking to Dobbie about his development, his value, helping him in his career. Be very poor not to. NC was valued at Liverpool and knows the value of developing all the coaching staff and them getting involved with the first team at times. We will want to bring dev squad players into the first team and the coaches to work together. Dobs could and should get a pay rise too perhaps. Handle him right, keep him on board and prepare him for the future.

Too obvious mate….should have been a slightly subtler bait to hook some Big AVFTT Fish

Dobbie had some Prem loan players like Rogers, Poveda and Patino. NC needs to show he can bring that type of player in and integrate them into his system. I hope he doesn't just do the same thing again, we really struggled to supply the likes of Yates.

I like being juvenile, it keeps me young in mind
 
Look on the bright side. If Critchley can’t get us going by November then we can always ask Mick McCarthy to come back and see if TC has any more tunes left 😂

Player selection will be based on ability to pass sideways, and back to frustrate the opposition and the fans.
He needs, to integrate Dobs and Dev feam into squad so they can play as fringe players this, season and have a real route to first team selection.

Absolutely. Will be gutted to see Dobbie walk on the back of this
 
His style of play is a bullshit narrative which was created following his departure first time. I don’t recall hardly anybody complaining about it when we were storming up the league in League 1, and when he kept us up comfortably in the championship.

Or is everyone just now hooked by that sexy, expansive 4-3-3 style that Appleton gave us? 🤣
 
Just proves how unimaginative we've been post boycott. This is our 5th appointment and Sadler has already begun recycling his old appointments, when 2 out of 4 appointments prior to that were recycled appointments from before the boycott.

It has the potential to go absolutely tits up, if it doesn't go well the place will implode. I just hope that Sadler is aware of that and he'll back Critchley good and proper. I'm sure everyone would forgive him with a promotion.

Maybe but lets wait and see what he does and what players we sign.
 
I'm not unhappy he's back, I think the reason we were dull to watch in the Championship was because he wasn't supported properly by Sadler and the board and nor were MA or MM either. My gripe is still with the man at the top, he is the one who has to prove himself for me, he has made way too many fuck ups in the last 18 months and he HAS to support NC properly, we can't go another season without a proper, tough skilful central midfielder, we haven't sorted that out for 3 ** years!

So I hope the supporters get behind Quitch, I know what people are saying but if we do an MA on him then we are culpable of ** things up too. I will be watching how well Sadler supports him and who else he is bringing in for the boardroom etc., He has to support him or else the wrath will fall well and truly at his door.
