Critch and his headaches

[thecatintheroof]

"Obviously Norbs is much closer because he’s been out the least amount of time.
"With those players returning (Virtue, Joseph and Gabriel) it’ll certainly give me much more of a headache.”

Why would it give you a headache? Choose your best XI players in a formation which suits them and that's all you need to do! Simples!

There's some managers who thrive with a full squad and those who feel guilt ridden that they're not using everyone and I feel Critch falls in to that category.

It’s just a figure of speech…

Talk about clutching at straws for any excuse to have a go.

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

Just another agenda driven thread that will give the usual posters yet another opportunity to repeat, again, their usual drivel

I get the point you are making, but most players realise it is a squad game, and being dropped is not down simply to performance and they could well be brought back into the team a couple of weeks later.

He’s as stubborn as hell but his perseverance with CJ finally paid off for the greater part anyway. Don’t know why he gave up with Connelly as RWB though!!

I think he's 'figureativly speaking.

It’s a well known cliché all football managers use when they’ve a fit squad to choose from and have to make decisions.
Nothing to see here - it’s a good thing to read as last season there wasn’t any sort of selecting headache due to the level of injuries.

A "selection headache" is one of the oldest cliches in the book.

Imagine using that to criticise. We really are scraping the barrel here.

Tango, you know as we’ll as I do that some morons on here just live to have a go at the manager.
The o/p shows his ignorance of the game when he thinks it is just a matter of picking your best XI players.

I'm a big fan of the "just play your best players" mentality. No allowances for form, players improving, opposition strengths, fitness or mental state. Nope. Just pick the starting XI on the first day of the season and never change it.

I might ask people to name the strongest XI the day after the window closes next year. If they deviate at any point from it, we can just shout "PLAY YOUR BEST XI" at them.

Hopefully some of injured players will get some game time next Tue v Morecambe.

Who are the best players and what is the strongest XI?? every person on here will have there own opinions of who they are and what it is, but fortunately only one man has to make those decisions and in my opinion is that he is making the right choices and we are moving along nicely

 

[tangerine_neil]

He’s giving me a headache

 

[onlyonepool]

FFS it's only meant as encouragement to the squad. Would you rather he came out with "I've got a few coming back after injury but they're shit and won't get anywhere near the first X1"

I don't agree with a lot of his squad rotation but using this stick to beat him with is ridiculous.

I hate metaphors. A metaphor to me is like a red rag to a bull.

I’m sure he can get selection paracetamol
