    Alex Hartridge : Exeter

    Left sided CB who’s been with them his entire career. Bigger clubs than us have sniffed around in previous years but he stayed loyal to Exeter. Has finally announced he‘ll be leaving on a free. Would be a super bit of business imo. Classy CB for the problem left hand side.

    Norburn

    I’m not his biggest fan but he was excellent yesterday. Doing the dirty work, breaking up play, showing plenty of battle and snapping a leg early in the second half. A captains performance. More please 🙏

    Gary Madine on the coaching staff?

    Just watched the highlights back on TTV and at 9:19 it looks like Madine gives Dembele a hug. Can someone tell me who I’m confusing him for ? I know he’s being doing rehab here but a trek down to Peterborough to sit on the bench doesn’t seem like your typical rehab. I hope that nasty bastard...

    Don’t sack Critchley

    Difficult to justify this argument given the absolute garbage just served up. But I don’t think Critchley is a bad coach. In fact I still think he’s a very talented coach with a knack for improving players. He’s improved plenty again this season and will continue to do so going forward. He can...

    Krauhaus Bromley

    Young lad who is apparently a product of their youth academy and looked very tidy. Controlled pretty much everything they did and definitely gave us plenty to think about. Only 18/19. Would happily see us make a bid come January

    Training Ground

    Recently looked at the planning application on the Blackpool council website and it looks like we’re being held up by United Utilities. They’ve objected the application on a few grounds with regards to waste water discharge, location of structures near to sewers etc and basically in order to get...

    East Stand

    This time last year BM said we’d see plans in early 2023. Obviously plenty has happened between then and now so it’s understandable that target came and went but does anyone on here know how the negotiations to buy up Henry street are progressing? Or any more on the rumours SS has bought the...

    Thankfully it’s just a game and our opinions are often wrong anyway.

    Disappointed we didn’t bring anyone in. Especially after Critchley indicated we expected some signings. Especially disappointing having seen some of the signings our league rivals have completed. Results haven’t been brilliant so far either and I must admit I am disappointed at the limited...

    Could netball be the answer

    Footballs a bit rubbish. A new sport maybe?

    Reason why I trust the process.

    It’s easy to forget how well organised, disciplined and meticulously prepared we were under Critchley in both League 1 and the Championship. Every player knew their role, responsibilities and that of every other player in the squad. We’d also built a culture of winning and being tough to beat...

    Another steal from Norway?

    Looks like Critchley fancies a frighteningly quick talent by the name of Munch

    Helpful Hints for Clueless Fans

    1) Football isn’t as simple as playing your ‘strongest’ XI 2) Just because a player isn’t ‘out’ injured doesn’t mean they’re fit to play 90 minutes 3) Regardless of who you are the tactics of the opposition influences your own 4) Players don’t always perform well consistently 5) It takes time...

    Hope we play the Development Squad Tuesday

    I personally hope Critchley plays the fringe players, development squad and best youngsters Tuesday night. The League cup is an unwelcome distraction. With the extra time rules this season likely meaning an extra 8-10 minutes each game that’s like playing an extra 5 matches over the course of a...

    Tyler Burrey

    £500k for a young winger at Millwall. Bids been accepted from a League 1 club - ticks all the boxes for me. Hope it’s us ! 6ft tall, quick, can play across the front 3. A real athlete.

    Morgan Rogers and Fiorini available again?

    Man City mate of mine knows some staff within the club. He’s been asking about what’s going on with some players and has been told City are having a clear out of some youngsters as they’ve not made the step up from development football (PL2). Rogers and Fiorini must surely be on that list as...

    Owen Dale

    Given some of the performances he put in in the Championship and on the back of a good season long loan with Portsmouth I’m hoping we’ll see him thrive this season under Critchley. I’d also not be disappointed if Kirk were to return tbh. He looked ok in the Championship and in League 1 with the...

    Measures of success.

    Pre season is boring. Pre season at a club with the communication ability of a Buddhist monk sworn to a life of silence is even more boring. Going in to next season and beyond - whilst not where we want to be - is exciting. Should Critchley hit the ground running, Sadler allows him to bring in...

    Brighton - Absolutely incredible.

    The change in fortune of that club over the last 20 years is mind blowing. They’ve spent a little money but have grown organically and clearly had a plan and began to execute it year on year. It shows that with the right personnel, the right mindset and with taking cautious, but positive steps...

    Players that could come in.

    Charlie Kirk I think is out of contract and Critch rated him enough to bring him to the Championship. Kyle Joseph is a youngster we tried bring in early on. He joined Swansea and hasn’t really played there. Had a successful season on loan at Oxford scoring 9 in a struggling team. Demeaco...

    If you’re not happy Critchley is manager again then you’re clueless.

    Gonna get pelters. Fact is he’s a top coach and proven to be a great manager in the circumstances we find ourselves in. He suits us to the ground and brings everything we possible need in a manager to the table. Highly unlikely anyone else we could attract could offer the same. It’s a...
