Critchley OUT!

[bfc1993]

Neil Critchley's first season in League One wasn't going well at all until Colin Calderwood was appointed as his no.2.
Some fantastic loans enabled Blackpool to have a brilliant central defensive partnership between any two of Marvin Ekpiteta, Richard Keogh, and loanee Dan Ballard. Midfield benefitted greatly with Elliott Embleton and the forward line vastly improved with Ellis Simms.
This season, after playing well and beating Wigan, we've returned to full scale defence, which we are just not good enough at, especially with players out of their natural positions, and in a new 3-5-2 formation.
If things don't quickly improve, I fear we could easily slide straight through to the 4th Division. Halfway through last season, I predicted a relegation followed by a League One relegation battle. When Stephen Dobbie had the caretaker manager's job for the last six matches last season, I felt relieved for our future, but now, I'm fearful for it.

Keogh wasn’t here in his first season

Once again!
Critchley is Not a good manager! We're going nowhere until he gets replaced!

Piss poor today but I’m willing to give Critch more time. People were giving him pelters for his slow start last time in L1 and this is eerily similar, so I’m still hopeful he’ll come good. That being said, CJ had the worst game I’ve ever seen from him today, and we really need a rethink of this 532 system because it’s clearly not working.

That’s just a typical Blackpool fan talk history isn’t necessary going to repeat itself this ten game talk come from Graysons quote we reappointed the same managers as before expecting the same results it hasn’t happened we are constantly looking at past players Charlie Adam for example we need to move on and critchley needs gone asap he’s done nothing since he left us and he is taking downhill further we need rid and for gods sake don’t appoint Holloway next.

I nearly suffocated reading that.

The last time he was here you could actually see what he wanted us to do, we had a team and squad who could do that

Difference being he had some really, really good loan players

Agreed, but I think we may have given Morgan a 3 year contract, if so, why ? Charlton fans said he was no better than a squad player in League 1. Couldn't we have seen that ? Maybe we expected to sign some better midfield players later, but we didn't.

If he’s worth a three year contract I’m a Chinaman.

The interesting thing is that we always hear about a 'Management team' - unless Critch is a stubborn old mule who won't listen to other opinions, surely others in this 'team' must see the folly of their ways?
