Abject performance and naive assessment

[seanjmcginlay]

There's a way to lose a derby match - that Blackpool performance wasn't it.

Neil Critchley's assessment of the game missed the mark too.

We're well aware the Seasiders have defied expectation but that doesn't make last night any more acceptable.

My take on a night to forget at Deepdale

I can see things getting ugly at Ewood if Critch doesn't instill change. As you say, that is no way to lose a derby.

In his pre match Critchley said, I know what a local derby means to fans. Judging by his post match comments I have to say no Critchley you are wrong, you have absolutely no idea what a derby means to fans. If he can still try and defend the indefensible he has not got a clue what it means. He needs to remove his head from up his arse and read most of the comments on this board, some are ott, probably including this one but the majority are, shall we say, less pleased than he is.

What chance has he got of learning this when the fans clap the players off? Genuine question as I doubt Critch drinks in the Devvy Arms at the weekend.

Perhaps they were clapping to show they were glad it was over.

Must admit that was bizarre.

I can understand not boo'ing but don't recognise effort / desire etc when it was non existent.

Re Critch, I understand him not criticising in the press, but common sense would dictate a simple "we weren't good enough, we'll talk and sort"

He's shown his naivety and he needs to learn.

It would be an expensive taxi to Warrington if he did.
