Critchley out

In fairness Hendry wasn’t boring. There were mad cap rumours pouring out of the club, some excellent football played by the teams pumping us and John ‘the English Pirlo’ Doolan pulling the strings in midfield. It was horrific but very entertaining in its own way!

I just remember the horrific part! 😂
 
Nope you simpleton, I’m implying that Mick McCarthy’s football was a lot more boring than this and was just last season? Or have you forgot?
No this is far worse as it's League One football and we should be winning more.

On another BFC platform, I predicted 1-0 Stevenage. Things are just too predictable. People get giddy and think we are improving. I challenge this and get pelters. Funny

It was edge of your seat stuff, watching a man crumble before our very eyes, the thousand yard stare getting longer and longer every week.

Well done on your prediction, did you back it £££?

If not it’s a poor brag, but at least it makes you feel good 😊 it does doesn’t it, cos it seems watching Blackpool doesn’t… when the fun stops STOP 💪🏽
 
In fairness to Hendry he had to put up with a lot of crap that no other manager would ever have to endure. If half of what he dealt with was in the public domain I doubt many would judge him so harshly.
 
Clearly never went when Lee Clark, Colin Hendry and Nigel Worthington were in charge!
We didn’t have the players back then like we do today and it’s still no better.
Players still being played out of position best players sat on the bench others not even making the squad at least we didn’t see that under Clark, Worthington, Hendry.
And yes they were crap granted but so to is our current manager and he has the tools for the job.

Did you go to any of the Mick McCarthy games last season?

Daft question i suppose… but it must have been boring watching on telly?
Maybe frustrating but not slow and boring … and we got to watch decent Championship opposition saw us win 6..1 and he wasn’t here long anyway ..

Not that I can claim to know the identity of the poster going by the 'handle' of A_Tense_Grin but perhaps the individual concerned is of rather tender years and therefore has the good fortune to have missed out on the 'sparten offerings' served up by the illustrious trio during the time of their tenure manning the helm at BR.

All I would say to the individual concerned is that he/she seriously needs to count their blessings, whilst they should also be hugely. grateful for their incredible good fortune in missing out on one of the less illustrious episodes in the clubs already slightly checkered history ...

Why should we walk this division . We are in it because the standard of football last season has got us here and you should accept that . The players last season were not good enough. Now this season we are holding our own and winning enough games to challenge for a play off position . I did not want Critchley back, but strangely I see improvement and if you think beating Pompey 4-0 , holding our own against Bolton not an improvement then I believe you are sadly mistaken. Yes there have been bad performances too ,but there is defenately an improvement from earlier in the season.

We go into away games expecting defeat. We play an over complicated formation that will never work. If that's progression, then I must be seeing things completely different.

Sorry, but watching them at Donny under Henry was probably one of my worst ever football experiences, other than on the same day I saw Wizaards scarf.
