Derby County v Blackpool Official Matchday Thread 29.03.24

[bleed_the_freak]

He's not been found out its the players who aren't good enough

Nonsense

Dale scored on his debut, set up a 2nd and got MOM - Dropped for next game
Koussi scored on his debut, got MOM - Dropped for next game
Dembelle was on fire - Dropped for two games

Can't blame the players when a manager doesn't know how to pick a winning team

.

I don't think they have played too badly but the tactics are terrible. We could have done with Rhodes playing. We look like we will be the only team out of the 4 to lose today. I didn't think we would win today but we need 16 points from the last 6, can't see it happening though, we haven't had a run like that all season.

If Critchley is sacked tonight we may

 

[Halifax71]

Even 12/12 from the next 4 is unlikely to keep us in it

Game over - fall on your sword Neil. Please.

 

[SeasideKurt]

After Reading, he's got to go. No signs of any progress at all.

 

[TangerineArmy]

Yellow card for critch... for being shit defensive and boring...

He needs to go.. really does.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

I hope we now All except the play offs are a pipe dream.

 

[I bleed Tangerine]

Oh well, think that secures our league 1 status. We aren't catching Lincoln, they're flying. Time to start preparing for next season, although with Critchley in charge I can't see if going much better.

 

[TangerineEggCup]

Roll up Roll up get your Season tickets….

I won't bother if he's still here next season. No entertainment value or identity.

 

[Cardboardshinpads]

Lincoln deserve to be where they are with their attacking football. We deserve fuck all with the dull boring football we get served up. Critchley just has to go

 

[hertfordseasider]

We are still clinging on, toughest game of the last 7 but we have to throw caution to the wind and have to win the next 4 on the bounce. Lose one of those and it will be all over.

 

[Yarmouth Seasider]

Same old, same old Critchley
Controlled possession erm
No luck in front of goal erm
Beaten by a good team erm
Worldy goal erm
Thought we were unlucky erm
I got booked erm

Fuck off

 

[CAGU]

Dreadful performance and Derby weren’t much better

 

[TangerineMatt]

I know we've said this 5 times already this season, but really feels as if that is it. Unacceptable to be 9th with this squad. Something needs to change

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

What have we become. A stale football club that is losing its fans.

 

[bleed_the_freak]

Lets be clear, away performances didn't end our season

Constant unnecessary tinkering ended our season

 

[no9]

I don’t disagree but you could give Critchley the Man City squad and I’m convinced he’d turn them to shit .

What I don’t get is why he doesn’t change the formation - what’s he got to lose

 

[Roy Kent]

Just not good enough.

Summary of season.

Summary of manager.

Summary of a number of players.

Simon Sadler - over to you!

 

[King Billy]

It’s the standard 1-0 defeat. That game just sums up our season.

 

[Olliesoffhistrolley]

Yellow card for critch... for being shit defensive and boring...

He needs to go.. really does.

Absolutely and such a well deserved yellow for those failings .

 

[mull]

No urgency by Blackpool until 6 minutes of injury time is shown . Terrible to watch... Mostly played like an end of season dead rubber . Painful tactics , painful performance

 

[Macseasider]

Just abject boring crap. Attacking football my arse.

 

[Paul Gardner No2]

Message from fat bird… how many times do you want me to sing ffs!!!

 

[Sir_Stanley]

Carbon copy of Wigan game.

 

[Olliesoffhistrolley]

Roll up Roll up get your Season tickets….

Jesus I can’t even bare to think of it just yet .

 

[BestTrip]

Go a goal down and lose. All a bit predictable again

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Massive decision for Sadler in the summer keeping hold of Critchley v a massive drop in season ticket sales.

 

[NewburyOne]

A quick word on Kyle Joseph, the worst number 9 I've ever seen in a Blackpool shirt. £1M worth of !

 

[agouti]

Lets be clear, away performances didn't end our season

Constant unnecessary tinkering ended our season

End it, when did we ever think it started? Flattered to deceive all season.

 

[premierdream2010]

Critchley will be happy it was only 1-0 he’ll see that as a positive. Fine margins blah blah blah. He’s stealing a living at Blackpool.

 

[Roy Kent]

Just abject boring crap. Attacking football my arse.

There’s a football attacking your arse??

 

[tangysider]

I won't bother if he's still here next season. No entertainment value or identity.

Goodbye

 

[glasshalffull]

Lincoln four points clear with a miles better gosl difference so I reckon that’s us definitely about. done for this season.
Pity we don’t seem to have any ‘kids’ that are ready that we could bring in for the last few games.

 

[agouti]

A quick word on Kyle Joseph, the worst number 9 I've ever seen in a Blackpool shirt. £1M worth of !

Stand up Chris Malkin

 

[hertfordseasider]

I know we've said this 5 times already this season, but really feels as if that is it. Unacceptable to be 9th with this squad. Something needs to change

 

[Wilburrabbit]

The minute we concede a goal in any away game we are stuffed. We also seem to have a crop of forwards (Beesley, Joseph and Lavery) who seem incapable of scoring goals away from BR.

Dembele seems to be getting less and less effective and Norburn can’t pass forward to save his life.

Credit to Grimshaw for his passing, to Ekpiteta and Casey for working hard and to Coulson, Byers and Carey for trying to initiate something.

Gabriel doesn’t carry enough forward threat and Pennington is becoming a liability.

Roll on next season after a major clearout and pray to god we get some decent forward players with pace for next season.

 

[fcblackpool]

That booking for Critchley was very disappointing.

I though the ref was giving him his P45.

 

[TangerineEggCup]

Goodbye

 

[Roy Kent]

Carbon copy of Wigan game.

Carbon copy of [insert name of opposition] game!

 

[Macseasider]

Critchley will be happy it was only 1-0 he’ll see that as a positive. Fine margins blah blah blah. He’s stealing a living at Blackpool.

He will say he thought we were the better team etc etc. Absolutely deluded. We are dreadful.

 

[Blackpool_Gaz]

Either Critchley doesn't want promotion or he's totally inept. Which is it? Either way he's got to go

 

[BFCfan33]

Nonsense

Dale scored on his debut, set up a 2nd and got MOM - Dropped for next game
Koussi scored on his debut, got MOM - Dropped for next game
Dembelle was on fire - Dropped for two games

Can't blame the players when a manager doesn't know how to pick a winning team

Its all about opinions that's the way it is.

 

[Bend it like Suddick]

A quick word on Kyle Joseph, the worst number 9 I've ever seen in a Blackpool shirt. £1M worth of !

I honestly think that Critchley is the cause for Joseph's confidence. This thing about Critchley being a players development Messiah is total bullshit.

 

[Ormergod]

I hope we are looking for his replacement now.Can’t be arsed with another season of this.Since Christmas it’s just got progressively worse.I thought everything was an over reaction before then but people were right about him.His stubbornness not to change approach has come back to bite him.

 

[hertfordseasider]

Who's going to do the Critchley Poll tonight??

 

[CAGU]

10th away game we’ve lost without scoring!

 

[Olliesoffhistrolley]

A quick word on Kyle Joseph, the worst number 9 I've ever seen in a Blackpool shirt. £1M worth of !

In my opinion you can’t fairly judge any of the players whilst Critchley is coaching them .

 

[I bleed Tangerine]

I honestly think that Critcbhley is the cause for Joseph's confidence. This thing about Critchley being a players development Messiah is total bullshit.

He's made several players worse if anything.

 

[mull]

This. Fuck me why are we jogging around like it’s friendly?

In extra time we play with a tiny bit more intensity and immediately creat a half chance or two and look better. Across the back pissy passy stuff with the speed of a herd of aging buffalo is going to win us nowt ...

 

[TangerineWizardInOz]

Dembele, beesley and Gabriel didn’t turn up today of all days. Coulson and Byers the only two that wanted to get forward, we looked like we were on roller skates in the final third and why the actual f*ck didn’t Joseph start today?

 

[Towerpower99]

10th away game we’ve lost without scoring!

Consistent
