I've got friends & distant relatives who support both Fleetwood & Bolton & I'm happy if they do ok. Not at our expense of course. Most of all I want us to succeed. Got to admit to having a bit of a laugh at Preston's recent plunge though.

Like you say, he runs around a lot but not sure if he knows what Critch wants him to do or how to play.

Performance was utterly turgid today. Connolly again so far off it, CJ was laughably awful, lazy and gutless. Back to his usual self.
Rhodes and Dembele are a class above and it shows. Formation is clearly not working, and with most teams playing the same way the games are very difficult to watch. So rigid, no flair, hard to find spaces. I’d love us to find a manager or for Critch to change his way of playing to entertain rather than be functional. It’s an entertainment industry, after all.

Pathetic comments. You clearly weren’t there today. Very lazy by CJ closing the defender down to win the ball and then closing down the keeper and wrapping up the win.

Is that not normal after watching Burton and Port Vale. I'd be worried if it was half full.Some folk have to have a glass half empty
"... & I might start to warm 'to' Critchley again."We are down to almost our bare bones with injuries & illness. I thought it was a workmanlike performance where they really only had one glaring miss in the first half, other than that I don’t think Grimshaw had much to do. Dale, Morgan, Rhodes & Casey we’re all decent & Hubby seemed more like himself. Joseph for me is trying too hard & I can understand why although I think he’ll be ok. Dembeles tricks are a joy to watch & he will get some more goals & assists. Glad to see Matty get 90 minutes in a more defensive role than his preferred position. Pleased for CJ for his persistence & he got his reward. Glad to see Marv towards the end & whilst I don’t rate Connolly as a starter he did ok & had a decent shot on target, also I hope he’s ok after his clattering & the claret I couldn’t see what happened from the North. All in all I actually enjoyed the game today apart from the flat spots a well deserved win. Sort the system for away games & I might start to warm for Critchley again. All made sweeter hearing the Preston result

Connolly was obviously under the weather, never feigns injury or shirks, a challenge.
As soon as he went down Eki should have been stripped off and ready for what should have been a straightforward substitution.
Instead we played with 10 men for about 3 minutes. That was pretty stupid IMHO as he obviously should not have continued.
I watched it on the tv as I’m ill and when Connolly went down it looked like he spewed a lot of blood up. Hope the lads ok

Closed down midfield and put strong challenges in. He is improving all the time and I prefer him to Norburn, and I agree he was not far off MOM

Yes
His ability may be questionable, but never his commitment, and I would still give him a new contract but play him off the bench or covering injuries
Because of the recent arrival of an absolute BFC legend to be their latest acting manager, maybe.
Can I ask? Is the task of putting two & two together really so far beyond you!? I mean, even my pet hamster was aware of that recent sporting develpoment! And I know for a fact he's not even particulary arsed about football. He tells me darts is his all-consuming passion.
He doesn't want Blackpool to win either because Critchley is manager

I don't get it. Not sure how you could want Fleetwood to win just because Charlie Adam is now manager. Maybe I am on my own now and Fleetwood are everyone's second team.
PS. I want Critchley out but always want Blackpool to win.

Good win.
Which rather begs the question; are we even sure Critch knows what he wants him to do, or how to play?
I mean, let's face it, if he still sees the need to name Connelly as a part of the starting line-up, I can only think there must be some weird s--t goin' on his head ...
You only ever have one team don't understand people having two, it was probably me meaning your a miserable git and never happy

Good result and a decent performance today. Lincoln aren’t a bad team. We did it with plenty of injuries and on the back of a hectic schedule - also with a referee who for the opening 20 minutes let everything go and thereafter blew his whistle for just about every challenge on a Lincoln player. Clearly a lot of tired legs in Tangerine but a well deserved 3 points and we were good value for them.
Just like last time in League 1 it’s time for a mid-season spring clean and time to move on some fringe players and bring in some new energy. Possibly time to move on some older team members too and build for the future. No players bigger than the club and if they see themselves playing elsewhere then good luck to them.

I was there as I am every week. He’s comfortably one of the least technically gifted players I’ve ever seen play for us. Shirks every single challenge, watch him closely and you’ll see how lazy he is.
Loved it when Marv came on. Just how many challenges did he win during the period he played? I also thought we looked so much more comfortable when we reverted to four at the back, with two towering centre backs and Andy and Jimmy at full back. Andy seemed much more at home on his natural right side.
They are but more back than wing
