Slept on it, thought about it and I have to say I feel like we deserved exactly what we got, Sweet FA!
We just had to win our last game and if we had done that and missed out then fair enough, but the manner in which we played in such an important game was horrible to witness and the fact we were having to scrabble like mad to get the last play off place really should never have been the scenario. Poor tactics away from home throughout the season was the reason and yesterday those awful tactics were in evidence again and for that you can only point the finger at the manager and his 2 sidekicks.
We were never really challenging for the play offs all season apart from the last 5 games when we won 4 on the bounce and then capitulated yesterday. We all know Sadler is going to stick with Critchley next season so we are going to witness the same stubborn persistence with his awful formation, we will need 10 to 15 new players and they will have to learn his dreadful tactics from scratch. If we are mid table by Christmas he will be gone but then we have to get another manager in mid season to take over someone else's squad and reshape them. It would be far more sensible to get someone new in now so he can build through the summer, someone who will reignite the players and the supporters because another summer with Critchley in charge is going to be so deflating.
To be honest if we had won yesterday and won the play offs we would be in real shit street next season as we would be a million miles from a Championship squad and manager, but we finished where we deserved 1.5 points a game, 8th place.
