Port Vale v Blackpool Official Matchnight Thread 29.12.23

I swear Critchley gave up on 3 at the back and switched to 433 much sooner than this in his first stint. I don’t get what point he’s trying to prove by sticking with it so vehemently? It didn’t work last time and it’s not working this time. Is it a pride thing? Will he feel too embarrassed if he gives up on this formation now and gives into fan’s criticisms?
"... fans' criticisms." Plural possessive - innit?
 
I defended Critchley so much this season, but I can't anymore. System has been all wrong all season but he's too pig headed to change it. We are so much better in attack than defence but he sets us up defensively all the time. Setting up for possession base football, but doing fuck all with the possession when we do have it. Playing the wrong players in the wrong positions I'm done, he can fuck off for all I care. Another abject failure of a performance.
 
Beez getting injured might be the excuse he needs to sack this formation.

Twice now he’s managed to find a formation that guarantees a win for every bottom half home side in L1!!
Sit back, watch us prance around the pitch, defend for a bit until we gift you a chance and it’s 3 points in the bag.

Open your ** eyes
 
Simon Sadler reads this board, so read it and see what you have done, admit the mistake, get rid of Critchley tonight, put Dobbie in as caretaker and go and look for someone who has some personality and knows how to manage a football club and has some real passion and desire, enough of the world's dullest, greyest managers, in fact let your staff do it and stay out of the decision completely.
