There are plenty of people to criticise at the club at the moment, but he isn't one of them.
Think he is clearly looking long term - judge him in 12 months time.
Agreed. 6 months is no time at all in that role.
I should change your diet, mate
Stupid post. Utterly pathetic
That's a decent fart to be fair
I think January highlighted our ambitions for this season.
You know what I mean though mate… it’s not long to get the recruitment sorted though. You know yourself how fast it can pass you by….
But we have only signed up two of our out of contract players, so he isn't that bothered with what is already in the building!
Where is the evidence to support this?
I agree on the tactics point however I disagree that our squad is good enough for top six. There are a number players, who for me, are bottom league one at the very best, more league two. But saying that, if we played a tactic that works, 4-4-2 or my preference of 4-3-3, which has a defensive midfielder two attacking wingers and a striker we would probably be in the top 6. Or even having a plan b as it appears we don’t change anything when chasing a game, other than like for like subs.
Thought you was an old fart
And nonsensical squad rotation
Thames Water style at the moment seems to be withholding any investment...
What's wrong with Kouassi? He was another who did more in 15 minutes than others in 90.David Downes isn't the problem, I actually think his recruitment has been quite good.
Jordan Rhodes
Dembele
Coulson
Byers
Weir
Norburn
O'Donnell
Pennington
Morgan
Joseph
Kouassi
Finnigan
Sassi
TAB
Our problems are solely with the manager.
Which begs the question who's really to blame Critchley or Sadler for the lack of investment in the team.
Could have easily put him a tier up, forgot he was only 20, could well come good you’re right.
Agreed, I thought he did well when he came on.
System and tactics are little to do with strikers that can't put away chances or shoot properly on target. Joseph, Lavery, Kouassi, CJ have all been poor and Beesley not much better. With the exception of Dembele (sometimes) and Morgan our passing, set pieces and movement have been woeful. People moan about Norburn passing sideways to keep possession, but there are rarely players moving into space going forward. And Grimshaw's distribution to the forwards is poor and slow when players like Lavery do move for the ball. Most of the team lack quality and there is not enough creativity and goals in the team, which is nowhere near a top 2 side.
Doesn't look like he has many goals in him, not the only thing to judge a centre forward on but probably the biggest thing. I am not sure if he is good enough, leaning towards not good enough but hope to be proved wrong.
Maybe you should lay off the kale
Would agree with @Wizaard - can see him offering more going forward than Beesley can offer.
But, when you're a specialist - as Critch clearly is - in attempting to 'shoe-horn' individuals into positions they clearly aren't suited to, what else should we be expecting? A question certain players (for example, Kouassi) have doubtless been asking themselves throughout the course of the current campaign ...
Would that be, 'real kale'?
