CJ Hamilton

Because 0f the hoof ball we tend to play ,forced by the poor passing at the back . Its either Lavery what seems to be getting the stick or CJ . Does anyone on here realise that if we passed the ball from mid field to feet,Lavery could get in more and CJ could run on to passed balls rather then having to control a long pass where the defenders can get goal side of him. We change tactics ,I think bothh Lavery and CJ would be muched improved.
 
He is so frustrating to watch. There was a moment in the second half when he was out on the rh side with the ball coming towards him away from their box. He had about 5yds in front of him yet he stood and waited for the ball to reach him. Like kids football. Instead of attacking it, going forwards and getting in early, his delay meant a defender was tight on the ball and he had to go sideways with a lame pass. Basics.

So ,your opinion is right . Well a lot of fans would agree with you ,but if you can name 1 Blackpool player that is at least getting the ball in the box as much as he is then you would be lying. Yes he is not physical and yes most of his crosses are intercepted and I would agree he is not a great winger , but the fact remains he is our best source on the pitch and it is you what may watch the football ,but needs to let your brain actually soak up what is happening.

That isn't fact though is it? My brain states he has half the amount of assists than Dembele this season.

So factually, you are 100% incorrect.

Like I said, the post I was replying to was a load of absolute and utter shit.

Just to add, you clearly know about nothing and I mean nothing about football if you think CJ Hamilton is offering more than Dembele. He isn't football league standard.

Sorry ,I thought we were writing about Blackpool players ,not players that belong to other teams and should be in at least a league higher.

If we played the ball to him in space and at speed, we might see a different CJ. That of course assumes, that he does not have to defend, we can pass quick enough to find space and we have enough bodies forward, to have a chance of finding a BFC player.
It's not a lot to ask for.

He is an impact sub 2nd half and needs to play on the half way with balls over top... to run at tired legs... but critch doesn't see that. Position he plays him essential we might as well play with 10.... but critch won't change.

That’s exactly as I see it.
But given Critchley’s stubbornness, and our lack of creativity beyond Dembele, it’s not likely to happen. Frustrating

I like CJ, in the right set up he’s a good player for us.

Unfortunately he’s the scapegoat for a lot of the posters on AVTT.

And I doubt many have played at the level he is playing at.

Uck you AVTT posters ( that’s what I’d say if I were CJ)

I should think anybody on here would have played at his level, that’s the very essence of the problem.

Funny how talking to other League One fans (I have mates who are Wigan, Bolton, Shrewsbury and Barnsley fans) and they have singled out CJ, Dembele and Rhodes as the three players who have impressed them this season. I wonder if we know what he can do and when he doesn't we go in to meltdown and forget the things he does well.

Funny how none of the clubs you mention have expressed any kind of interest whatsoever in him. And no, I don’t know that for fact, but it would have leaked out somewhere.

He's lacking confidence like the rest of team, play him in his right position on the wing and by bringing him on in the 2nd half as an impact sub.

I got slated after telling people who praise him on here twice a season that they need to watch him for 90 minutes critically.
He is so devoid of confidence now that he looks even less like a footballer than when I said it a couple of months ago.

He doesn't even look like a sprinter now and although he is limited as a footballer Crotchless has destroyed the lad with his shite system and making him look like a fish out of water at wing-back.

Terrible man management......

but he doesn’t even want to get involved. Watch him closely, he moves into positions as to not have the ball passed to him, bottles tackles and headers regularly. He should be demanding the ball, he just wanders about pointing.

This is spot on. Imagine being in the team to create chances and not wanting the ball. He’s hides when he have the ball and when he does get it he can’t wait to get rid of it.

People can talk about him being used correctly & this and that, but off memory in the last 3 years he’s probably had:-

2 good game in the 1st season back in the Championship. Reading at home as a sub stands out.

2 last season in the Championship. Nobbers stands out.

4-5 this season. Wigan, Pompey and he scored at end of one.

Are we really thinking a player who’s struggling to make double figures of good games in 3 seasons is the answer? It’s about 130 games.

We need to section who ever signed off that 2.5 year extension with a plus 1.

Still makes me laugh his Ireland call up, he played 10 mins in 3 games and never got asked again. They obviously saw him in training and thought WTF.

If we had a defender behind him rather then using him as a wing back ,then he just could work as an attacking midfielder which may make it safer at the back and leave CJ slightly more forward where he could be fed balls in front of him more easily. Sadly ,its back to Critchley and his tactics that won't be changed. You can't feed the ball in front of a man who has to be in his own penalty box defending.

Totally agree with this.
The players (not just CJ) are being forced into roles that suit the system rather than Critch picking a formation that suits the personel he has at his disposal. Is there any player who is showing their best ability in the current setup?

That is the problem with the coach, focus the player on the thing he is least able to do and negate the positives.

Because of the sheer lunacy of the utterly bizarre points you make with regard to the player in question!

And if, indeed, your post with regard to CJ was actually intended to be both balanced and objective, all I can think to say, to quote from one of the tennis greats from years gone by, is: "You can not be serious!"

Not so much 'terrible man management', as 'non-existent man management ...'

I was taking the p*** at the moment he is awful and i don't blame systems or formations, you cant blame the manager for bad crosses lack of tackling or headers.

"best source on the pitch". ? Nope that would be Dembele.

Really?

I was thinking more along the lines of a medium-lenght term period in custody ...

Already done and as I pointed out Dembele is not a Blackpool player ,he is a loan player . Now name a BLACKPOOL player that gets the ball in the box as much as CJ. He is what we will have next year ,not Dembele.

Like it not Dembele signed on loan for Blackpool this season so that makes him a Blackpool player. All his goals and assists this season are for Blackpool. He's registered to play for Blackpool this season so you are wrong.
 
....just to add, who is Blackpools leading scorer this season? It's Jordan Rhodes. You can't say it's not because he's only a loan player.

The reason I was pointing out that CJ ,no matter how bad people think he is , has the best record for getting crosses and passes into the box as a Blackpool player . Fans can still slag CJ ,but he will be here for next year and that was the point that was originally being made . So Dembele has absolutely nothing to do with the original post , but as usual you have gone off on a tangent . You should leave it to the adults to have an adult discussion.

no, you simply wanted to deflect away from what are the stats for this season. Like i said, in 20 years of posting on here, you're the thickest poster I've come across. Nevertheless, where have you got this evidence that CJ has the best record for getting crosses and passes into the box?

He's bereft of confidence due to the role (whatever) that is Critchley is playing or asking him to do is.
There is a brilliant attacking winger in him, but unfortunately under Critchley Is looking a lost soul.

And the points you make, in essence, capture just how utterly clueless has been this season. Rather an apt choice of phrase, given the location of the club he presently (mis)manages, would be: '... all at sea'.
 
Loco said:
Just had a look at some stats: goals + assists. CJ is our third most effective player in that area.

Rhodes (18), Kaddy (17), CJ (10).

Next comes Bees (7) and Morgan (6).

So CJ might be frustrating but he does contribute more than most.

It'll be the same lot that can't see how good Carey is. Both I feel are victims of Critchball.

To edit: '... capture just how utterly clueless CRITCHLEY has been this season ...'
 
If he just did what he's good at every time the chance presented himself he might be more appreciated.
If he gets the ball wide in the opposing half, he needs to pin his ears back, skin the defender/s break into the box / sling over a cross.
If he gets tackled we won't mind if he's caught driving forward - he's weapon.
If the put two on him - more space elsewhere.
Hiding, dithering, bottling the chance to take on a defender is not acceptable - and that's what he does most of the time.

Statistically and factually that second sentence is correct, but why does he only have 4 assists all season?

6 assists and 4 goals. Not bad for the passive position he is asked to play in for most of the game. Anyway you go and make up some more stats off the top of your head 👍

I don't need evidence ,I'm not in court ,but if you think Dembele is going to make some impact for Blackpool next season then you carry on ,but it's funny how I already have 1 or 2 likes about having adult conversations.

I am not saying he is good . I also hope he improves ,but unless we get other wingers in ,we are going to be stuck with him . So while all these Blackpool fans slag him off at matches and on line , this will not help his play or confidence and I think they should hold off at least till a replacement has been brought in.
