Been solidly in the “replace Critch before it’s too late camp” since February, but woke up this morning feeling different.

Maybe it’s delusion, maybe it’s the polluted American air, can’t really tell or explain why but have a gut feeling that he’s going to work out now.

He’s gonna rebuild the squad this Summer and then take us up easily next year, I can feel it in my loins.

Have absolutely no logical evidence to support my claim, just trust me.

I think the key phrase there is ‘absolutely no logical evidence to support my claim’
 
Going to cost a few quid to rebuild our squad seeing as our best 3 players are loanees and Marv, Lavery, Husband, Connolly,Virtue, O'Donnell,Carey(+1 option)are all out of contract.

Isnt the fact that he got us promoted in his second season last time logical evidence ?
 
I'm in agreement with the OP but we need to see some good signings over the summer and removal of the handbrake with which we seem to leave on in most games. If we're not top 6 by November, it's time to say goodbye! 👋🏼
 
What scares me about this Critch and his formation is that it looks like we’re constantly down to 9 men when playing. There’s nobody in the centre of the pitch, nobody available for a quick one two, nobody between the lines. We just pass from side to side until we lose the ball. Then when we lose the ball it’s the same story, we get countered outnumbered!!

I’m undecided on whether or not Critch is the man for the job. I do think a summer off for everybody, including the manager, will hopefully do us a world of good coming into next year.
 
The call to change the manager every time we lose is counter-productive. Some Clubs who have a gate average in the 20k region have found it very hard to get out of League 1 despite the extra income they generate. Our budget is the sixth or seventh biggest in this league and our league position is not massively under performing if we look at it honestly. The smaller teams that get promoted with the bigger clubs tend to get relegated quickly from the higher divisions and often end in a downward financial spiral chasing dreams.

We all want Blackpool to be successful but patience and a long term plan is required for that. I think our chairman knows this and is willing to back Critchley with patience to get us there. At the moment our squad is certainly lacking in some areas. Our defence does not always dominate in the air and is guilty of too many individual errors. Out wide we have a tendency to give the opposition the time and space to cross the ball.

In midfield we have not always shown the aggression to compete with other teams or creativity to play through them. Up front there is a genuine lack of pace and often a failure to hold the ball up to allow the midfield to support them. There is certainly a question mark over the touch and footballing intelligence of a few. We have relied too heavily on Dembele for the creative spark and the lack of protection he has received from the referees this season has been criminal.

On the plus side, we have a very strong home record and a fantastic support when we get behind the team. Our keeper is very good. We do have a number of players with the ability to be successful at this level and we have been outplayed on only a couple of times this season. We also have a committed chairman with a long term plan for the development of the club.

A couple of quicker players, a dominant centre half and a creative midfield player have to be the immediate goals for our recruitment team. However, we do have to realise that those qualities are not easy to find and will come with a high price and a lot of competition from other clubs.

Alternatively we can show patience and focus on our academy to produce the type of players we need in our first team to successfully compete in the Championship. This route takes time but a good example is the players now being produced through the Blackburn academy.

Personally I would give the present manager the time and support to achieve this but everyone is entitled to their own opinion, that is why football is so exciting and everyone can take part.

I think the only chance Critchley has is if Sadler spends a fortune on bringing in real quality players.

If it’s down to Critchley getting the best out of a poor squad then we will stay in league 1 for sure.

I know it’s not an easy job but he’s been poor this season, to not change formation away from home was baffling to me.

Just try something different, be positive, so frustrating.

Critchley doesn't need the money to succeed, he's just going to do it (trust me)

Delusional but well meaning. He has failed his mandate, not improved players and not got the best from what he has got. That is why people are fed up.

There’s as much chance of getting promotion with Critchley as Biden doing break dancing

Now you see, I’m sort of going the other way. And agreeing with the op for the simple reason a few more heads will explode in the Critchley Out Brigade aka miserable twats.

Let’s face it. It’s not hard to trigger an amygdala hijacking with that lot.

As a recent example they moaned at numerous away games because we were boring and lost.

They also moaned even though we beat Cambridge because we were boring.

And last night they moaned even though it was an exciting game which we won because we should’ve walked it.

When we get promoted back to the PL in two or three seasons it’s going to get very messy.

You're probably right, it is waring though and that's just for people having to read their short form diatribes, it's a cottage industry now, like you say, the fella can't do right.

The entertaining bit is reading who they want for next manager, about to be relegated Charlie is a favourite now because he was a bit gobby on the touchline.

He’s got a lot balder and fatter since I last saw him. Although to be fair he can still kick a ball.

Don't know why the feckin useless Olly Nogood is missing but we've been much better since Byers took up his place. Critchley too scared to drop him because he no doubt cost a lot of money off the Peterborough Snake Oil salesman.
