agree Tim. The earlish games of an obsession with possession at an extremely slow tempo has cost us although the fat lady hasn’t quite sang yet.The management team have right royally fooked this season up with their obsession over possession, one system whatever approach and the bizarre favouritism
We should be right up there
Bore Off! We have been in the top third of the division all season all but a couple of weeks.The management team have right royally fooked this season up with their obsession over possession, one system whatever approach and the bizarre favouritism

It’s called having an opinionBore Off! We have been in the top third of the division all season all but a couple of weeks.
Our home attendances are certainly not too 10.
We have an owner keeping the club afloat.
Massive Club Bolton are on their 3rd attempt to "try" & get out of this division.
Their fans were not demanding "Evatt Out" despite (unlike Critch) he has not yet got a team promoted from Div 1 to the Championship.
We beat them 4-1 by the way.
Why do you "think" you know more about football management & ownership than the owner or the manager???
Let’s hope we can sneak inSeason not finished yet let's see where we are after 46 games.
You might want to pay a visit to their message boards to get a 2nd opinion on that!Their fans were not demanding "Evatt Out" despite (unlike Critch) he has not yet got a team promoted from Div 1 to the Championship.
I thought they were poor for much of it, very little urgency even aginst 10 until near the end when we tired.Again, if Portsmouth are the best team in the league we have missed a massive opportunity this season.
If only we'd been that strong, resolute and dogged against some of the crap sides at the bottom of the league who we have thrown away points from.
It’s not trying to keep the ball that has cost us it’s a lack of physicality to deal with lumpball. Players like CJ will never put the tin hat on and battle. Next year we need greater strength and luck with injuries.It’s called having an opinion
I am allowed one If you don’t like it tough
I’ve said from the start of the season we had a team to go up
Repeatedly losing to teams in the bottom half has cost us
I get that - and we did that todayIt’s not trying to keep the ball that has cost us it’s a lack of physicality to deal with lumpball. Players like CJ will never put the tin hat on and battle. Next year we need greater strength and luck with injuries.
You can't win games if you don't have any shots on target.I thought today their football was poor, their approach was cynical, the manager was in the face of the 4th official once a minute. I felt today marked a seed change for us. We fought for everything and with 11 men I sure we would have beat them .But ,wouda,shoulda,doesn't hack it.
What's does is the fabulous unity in all 3 stands which all rocked today. They could have played till Christmas and they wouldn't have broken either the team , the players the manager ,and us lot!
For me the best game of the season , and for the first time in a long time complete unity of all our great fans
Have a great Sunday
Their fans haven't been demanding Evatt out? Try going on their message boards and social media. Clearly you haven't!Bore Off! We have been in the top third of the division all season all but a couple of weeks.

It's hard to get that across to fans of EFL clubs as they only know their own and what they get to see as a snapshot twice a season.The best team doesn’t always play the best every week tho, just because they didn’t blow you away doesn’t mean they are poor or the league is poor. Cheltenham could say the same when they beat you lot 2-0 the other week…
It’s nothing to do with other clubs and their ambitions. We have missed a huge opportunity this season. It is unarguable that we have thrown away points due to our passive approach in many games.Bore Off! We have been in the top third of the division all season all but a couple of weeks.

Portsmouth seem to play in the same way, maintaining possession, very slow and constantly passing sideways and backwards, no urgency at all and all very predictable. Probably played into our hands a bit yesterday when we went down to ten. How they are top of the league is a mystery to me.The management team have right royally fooked this season up with their obsession over possession, one system whatever approach and the bizarre favouritism

The best team is the most consistent. It’s not a Cup it’s the best over a long season. They all have highs and lows but in the end the the cream rises to the top. Barnsley are better than Lincoln, but everyone can beat each other on any given day.The best team doesn’t go up, it’s the most consistent, that’s why you see teams that finish top sometimes struggle most in the next division
Maybe because he's been watching football for nearly 50 yrs and let's face it, most fans know more about football than Critchley and his failed system.Bore Off! We have been in the top third of the division all season all but a couple of weeks.

I never mentioned running a football club, obviously you have run manyAbsolute bollocks. I suppose you also know more about running a hedge fund than Simon Sadler
Best footballing team by a long way but their defence isn't great.The 3 games I’ve seen of them I think Peterborough are the best team we’ve played (bar the last 20 minutes in both league games)
That's why Rotherham keep getting promoted from League 1. You bully your way out of League 1 not tippy f'ing tappy footballThey’re top of the league because they’re big, physical and know how to manage games and the opposition. They win your Port Vale’s and Cheltenham away because they can. That type of team is how you get automatic promotion from this god forsaken league with shit refs. They’ve been here long enough and they know the drill.
Oh aye, we were well known for lumping it and 'bullying our way out' in 2007 and 2021.That's why Rotherham keep getting promoted from League 1. You bully your way out of League 1 not tippy f'ing tappy football
And how many times in those years have you managed a team to promotion?Maybe because he's been watching football for nearly 50 yrs and let's face it, most fans know more about football than Critchley and his failed system.
