Cheltenham Town v Blackpool Official Matchnight Thread 13.02.24

[18YearFreeTrial]

Disgrace. Nothing less. We're huffing and puffing, and I won't fault the effort, but the performance is National league standard if not worse.

 

[gjr]

This is abysmal, Mavis Riley needs to come up with some answers!!

 

[TangerineArmy]

This is utter shite

Need a rocket at half time please

Oh yeah I can imagine that from critch.

"Well played lads.. just not has run of the ball.. let's keep playing them sideways and back wards balls"

 

[NewburyOne]

Port Vale was bad, this is worse. They should be 2 or 3 up.

 

[1966_and_all_that]

I'm at the match and we are shit.

 

[Martonmosser]

Contender for worst half of football this season. More of the same second half Critch

Nothing will beat Burton away on Boxing Day

 

[Blackpool Are Back!]

“There up for it Cheltenham aren’t they…”

Well we aren’t

Bet they are next week though

 

[TangerineMatt]

That was the worst half of football I've ever seen from a Blackpool side

 

[doolan_legend]

A group of really weak men and I include the manager in that. No fight. No desire. No will to change. Change the formation. Change the tactics. Only team in world football that never changes its shite shape during a game. Only team in world football who insist on playing out from the back despite not having one defender who is capable with the ball at his feet.

They’ve given up.

 

[TangerineArmy]

Do you not think that against a team at the bottom of the league, that Critch would leave CJ up for their corners to draw a couple of defenders back? Critch is so risk averse

Exactly he treats every team like they are Barcelona... bigs them up

 

[tonners1212]

Spent a lot of time defending Critchley, this is McCarthy level football tonight.

Shite

 

[Roy Kent]

I'm at the match and we are shit.

How’s the mood with our fans?

 

[briar]

Can we make 12 changes 11 players plus Critchley

 

[NewburyOne]

Kouassi just isn't ready, his first touch is shocking.

 

[bill40]

I'm really enjoying the match but then again I have no comms tonight.

 

[Three_Piers]

There is just nothing likeable about this group of players and manager. No heart, no passion. Bunch of spineless pricks.

 

[THEMISSINGLINK]

Not one attempt on goal in the first half,against a team in the botton 4

 

[Hertsseasider]

52% possession. 0 shots. Ffs

 

[doolan_legend]

Andy Lyons for their goal. Wow.

Gives away a needless throw in. Gives away a needless corner. Awful

 

[AmericanTangerine]

Lol no defending Critchley tonight.

Same as Burton, Port Vale, etc. nothing learned at all.

100% on the manager.

 

[hertfordseasider]

Yeah, it takes them that long to consult the ipad and piss about with a few bits of paper.
Still I'm sure Critchley will own his mistakes

That reminds me, those 2 useless, gormless clowns that stand with him FFS! It is almost laughable?

 

[Sunpool]

Its like they have already packed up for the season, manager probably been looking for his summer holiday location this week, team talk today , just boot the ball anywhere,( usual). We should all be home by 1pm

 

[Danny Ocean]

Needs subs on at half time, need to get rid of inverted wingbacks.

 

[Discodaz1]

Sick to fkin death of wasting my life watching this disgrace of away performances week after week. I'm utterly disgusted in the ineptitude of our away form. Words fail me. Fkin raging!!

 

[Martonmosser]

I'm at the match and we are shit.

You must be daft in the head, why are you wasting time and money watching this sh1t?

 

[Blackpool_Gaz]

"Keep it tight lads" x23 away games

 

[agouti]

We clearly don't have enough quality to outplay them with our 'posession' based football so at least let's show a bit of spirit.

Irrespective of how pep critchley has set up the team its been pretty gutless by most of our lot and zero quality yet again.

 

[Maths]

Season effectively could be over this time next week and then there are some big questions that need asking.

 

[Briggsysgonagetya]

That 1st half was a disgrace. Sack the prick

 

[rememberlesshannon]

£1m English pounds for Kyle Joseph, absolute garbage again.

I'm sure we didn't sign him as a left winger. Here's a thought though play CJ left and Joseph in the box

 

[Roy Kent]

So I thought we were all about the research these days and it was a case of selecting a squad according to the opposition?

If we have paid for that can we have our money back please?

Totally unsatisfactory

 

[rease4]

Got exactly what we deserve so far.

 

[Critchknows]

Probably the worst half of football I've ever seen. Absolutely dog turd that.

 

[Wizaard]

Disgrace. Nothing less. We're huffing and puffing, and I won't fault the effort, but the performance is National league standard if not worse.

I'm there and I'm not convinced on the effort. No one has won a tackle yet.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Kouassi is just completely out of his depth.

 

[SussexTangerine8888]

Zero shots against Cheltenham at half time. This is an utter disgrace

 

[P t Barnum]

This is probably worst then Burton

 

[BFCAleman]

wonder if sadler there ? If so surely he can’t be happy with another shower of sh@te display.

 

[Wizzerboy]

Nothing will beat Burton away on Boxing Day

We didn't

 

[Macseasider]

This is utter shite

Need a rocket at half time please

Do you actually think Critchley is capable of a "rocket"?

Probably couldn't even muster a tut.

 

[NewburyOne]

Andy Lyons for their goal. Wow.

Gives away a needless throw in. Gives away a needless corner. Awful

The amount of people who was asking for him to play. He's been a liability all season. He's not the only one but he's poor, very poor.

 

[Phil_bfc deux]

Go on try it you fcuking idiot swap CJ and Lyons so they can at least cross the ball with their stronger foot

 

[AmericanTangerine]

Don’t give a fuck what anyone says about this league or the players we have; we should not be ** getting outplayed like this by Cheltenham Town.

Disgraceful, completely different Critchley than the one we had in 20/21, he’s completely lost his edge.

No adjustments, no changes, no tweaks. Great coach terrible manager.

 

[Bluecabinboy]

Truly, truly awful.

Takes me right back to those hideous away nights at Halifax, Hartlepool etc when you genuinely wondered why you bothered.

Admittedly these days I’m watching on TV, but still feeling robbed of £10 - Lord only knows how those travelling must feel.

 

[JJpool]

Lol no defending Critchley tonight.

Same as Burton, Port Vale, etc. nothing learned at all.

100% on the manager.

He's not learning is he or the players.

Massively underachieving.

Not able to display any sort of gameplan, any quality.

We just seem to keep doing the same thing and making crap sides look a lot better than they are.

 

[hertfordseasider]

The poor supporters who have gone, they deserve more than that utter garbage. Critchley has 45 minutes to save this season and possibly his job. Surely Sadler can see he's backed the wrong horse AGAIN? Why is it so boring and bland at the club, it's weird.

 

[tangerinespud]

Clueless Critchley

 

[Tangman74]

This will sell loads of tickets for Tuesday next week

 

[Bob Hatton]

Sadler, act now. Sack Shitley tonight and give it Dobbie until the end of the season. What have you got to lose?

 

[Costero Poderoso]

I like that stand they’ve built that looks like a burger van

how are the skin on fries
