If he hasn't lost it then throwing the players under the bus again tonight without owning any of these shocking away performances I hope the players listen to this.

Critchley is the one constant in all this and I have to highlight CJ in this again even though other players were well off the mark tonight but he picks CJ again knowing it will be a hard-fought game like Stevenage and he again picks someone with the heart of a mouse to fight some lions.

Critchley has to go now and the north stand needs to let him know even if he comes fisting after a win as the away form is simply unacceptable.

What a cowardly interview and so typical of this excuse for a manager. Get rid. I'm sick of him failing to own the performances. He picks and motivates the team and most importantly, he persists with this shit 3/5/7/10 at the back (delete as necessary) formation. As for his backroom stooges, give me strength. You must have SOME football knowlege. Speak up ffs.

Add to this the travesty of a fan consultation exercise we've been made to endure this week and my love for our great club has taken quite a battering. Luckily we're mostly all in it for the long game. I think we might need to be at this rate.

I have never been as demoralized as I am now supporting us and have been wondering why.
I have come to the conclusion that it is the failing of managers to use the players they have correctly and under the stains the managers that succeed got every last ounce out of them.
Dobbs did that at the end of last season but the other 3 since the Weasle quit the first time have been lazy and set in their ways and seem to have all alienated some players and thus upsetting the squad.
 
A second stint rarely works not least when the club haven’t done was worked last time - pair him with an experienced no2
It’s been blatantly obvious Critchley needs that from the start and I can’t believe it’s not happened
There’s no playing experience in the dugout bar Banksie
What an incredibly disappointing season
The most worrying thing is that for most part I’ve been incredibly bored
Can’t wait for the season to end

Irony at its finest! 🤷
 
I think the stench of failure is a difficult thing to get rid of as a manager. His time at Villa and QPR have made him worse. His stubbornness is his biggest downfall, closely followed by his bizarre tactics. Sadler needs to own yet another cock up and should probably consider stepping aside when appointing the next manager, he's already proven he is incapable of making the right choice. Anyone who employs Appleton shouldn't be anywhere near owning a club and just because you are successful at investing other people's money doesn't change that.

The season has ended, nothing to play for but pride... didn’t see much pride last night.
For a man who relies on stats so heavily when decision making... if Blackpool concede the first goal away from home ... there is 0% chance they will win... which then begs the question... exactly what changes does your pal NC make to alter that fact Mr SS?
“Seasiders Together” ... in your dreams ....

Agree with most of your post about Critchley ,but I think you are wrong about CJ . We all know he isn't the best header of the ball and he isn't our most physical of players ,but when he had his good spell and he was laying on goals and scoring them , the players were putting the ball in front of him . I only saw one ball that he could run onto throughout the whole game . If the other players aren't capable of putting decent balls in front of him to play to his strengths ,then that player should not be singled out. I'm not saying he had a good game ,he didn't like every other player , but he shouldn't be singled out for other players lack of ability. Byer's said his ability was to look for through balls for attacking players , I didn't notice he was even playing.
 
Has he ever had the dressing room ? Personally I think not , the fans have got us over the line at home more times than "togetherness" as he calls it.
As many have said before , he's out of his depth in sole charge of a team , what I can't understand is why he's such an attraction and the only man for the job in our chairman's eyes . Sadler had a better managerial prospect in house and he's extremely lucky he's not left yet for a club who value his skills.
 
Lets face it, after the way he bailed out last time SS should have never even considered him for the job in the first place, he instantly alienated most of the fans doing what he did and since he left he has failed at Villa, failed at QPR and is failing again now, so a pattern seems to be emerging here.

I think it’s a ** joke you are remotely defending CJ last night and having a pop at Byers who was isolated against 3 midfielders.

CJ Hamilton has two out of the top 5 worst performances I’ve ever witnessed as a Blackpool fan. And one of them was last night. He was an utter embarrassment to the shirt.

He stood still the entire game. Didn’t move a CM and lost it every time he touched it. He should never ever play for us after that.

I’m beyond gob smacked you are remotely using his name and defending him. You have to be related.

I have said this more than once on here and usually after a home win as for the season-ending, I wish it was tomorrow so we wouldn't suffer anymore mind numbing performances like that last night.

It won't be the last sack of shite last night I feel......
 
Funny interview this as it sums up his weakness.

Completely slates the players for being the worst they’ve been all season… way off it…

He didn’t make a sub for 70 minutes or change anything and when he did just swapped like for like players.

So we were stinking the place out and the Manager thought we were and did nothing about it till 20 mins to go?!

Great stuff coach 👏🏻

When it’s not going well it’s your job to ensure it improves and change it. That away performance isn’t a new thing either.

As a leader your excuses become the excuses of the people you lead.

Stop excusing yourself.

Take ownership.

If you read my post ,I am not defending him , I agreed he had a bad game . Yet was he any worse then any other outfield player . Nobody had a good game . Yet typically on this message board we get fans blaming a player . All I said is he would have had a better game if some of our other players were capable of making an incisive pass and he should not be singled out for yesterdays performance. Its sad that some fans are incapable of seeing a bigger picture sometimes and get tunnel vision .

I highlighted CJ last night not because he was crap again but to highlight the lack of nouns of our highly qualified head coach.

CJ is the last player at the club who should be sent into a battle as he is never ever going to put his foot in even in a 70/30 in his favour.

He hid for nearly the whole of the Stevenage game and was quite frankly pathetic last night, but we know what he is, and yet Critchley picks him in both games.

It is mental and it is to the point of insanity by Critchley....

If Carlsberg did posts 🤗
 
Yeh chucked the players under the bus but rightly so, they were beyond awful and they didn't compete at all.
He did acknowledge that he picked the wrong team but I'd rather him acknowledge that it's the wrong formation too. Don't get me wrong with a performance like that it wouldn't matter what formation we played though.
 
Even the commentators said a few times about critchley standing there with his arms folded. Start of the second half commentators said they was both surprised there wasn’t three subs made for the start of the second half. 70 minutes again before he makes subs which tbh never made a difference at all. Shyte all round last night and not one player can be singled out they all had a terrible night.
 
Sadly this thread sums up what probably most of us feel.

The football is boring, the whole club stinks of zero ambition. The manager is clueless and the players to a man look lost and like they couldn't care less. It's really very difficult to support us right now.

Change HAS to happen. And it must start with the manager being changed ASAP.
 
This is classic "put the blame on others" to defend your position. I remember playing football back in the day and a player makes a poor pass and shouts at the others when it breaks down to deflect criticism elsewhere. This is exactly the same. I would have more respect this morning, if he just said that I got the tactics wrong and I take full blame. This tells me there is no way back, and I can see it only getting worse .... I hope I am wrong.
 
A lot of this IMO falls on the players, why cant he throw the players under the bus, all players can have bad games where things don't happen but the one thing everyone of them should be doing is giving 100% in effort,

Because it can't be the player's every bad away day and the only constant is him and his system.

Why does it take him until 60/70 minutes to hook these players? 60 and 70 minutes is the same time he also makes changes when we are winning.

It's embarrassing management.
 
Agree with CJ never a game for him and like most of us keep saying he is an impact sub with his pace. Even 1st half that bit of skill from demebele when he broke and Kouassi tried run too early and stopped... CJ was on right but didn't use his pace to try a run... maybe being harsh on him but for me that was the ideal situation for him.

But just listening to critch saying worst 1st half.... why and why not do any subs at half time.. show ure mad and its not acceptable.

Never watched a team so boring... I thought stevenage were bloody awful.. but least they score and shot... 20 shots last night... us 3 against 3rd bottom (and still 3rd bottom)

That's your opinion and that's fine but for me a lot of this falls on the players, so why does it work at home
 
I didn’t like the boo’s ringing out loud and clear last night, but I got a feeling the OP is correct in that the dressing room has been lost. I have some sympathy with the players as there’s no way I could play football for that joker, especially after throwing them under the bus. It’s just a matter of time before the away form creeps into our home performances and the chants of “Critchley out’ are heard.

I could do the job if all it needed was a bit of shouting or cajoling the players to extract “effort”. The players don’t believe in and can’t make the managers tactics and team selections function at a basic level against organised opposition. I’d suggest that is nothing to do with players and everything to do with being forced to work in a system that doesn’t work alongside players unsuited to what they are being forced to do.

It’s like working on a conveyor belt production line with a conveyor that’s broken and instructions that you can’t move from your defined 2 metre square workspace area for safety reasons…so being forced to just chuck the goods in the air to a colleague to try and keep things moving. Then the manager coming out moaning about productivity levels and slating the staff.

Fuc.king sort it out Critchley or fuck off now.

Agree with this and unfortunately we’re in a position where these carefully constructed interviews that are released by the club don’t ask these questions. Why is nobody asking him why he never made a change for 70 minutes last night?

How do you know that? i have never heard one player moan or comment on the manager or formation, good analogy but sorry not relevant to football.

It's a very good point. Critchley is getting a very easy ride. He takes the plaudits and the fist pumping when we win but ALWAYS blames the players when we lose.

Anyone would think he shows all the traits of having a narcissistic personality disorder.

Well that's the question for Critchley, isn't it?
He picks the team, formation, and tactics, so what is he saying to them on their travels?

If the same players have the best home form why is the away that bad?

A. Because we have been sussed because the home team can make a plan to play against us no matter who plays because we are on another planet when it comes to being one-dimensional.
 
Fascinating series of posts here. The performance was woeful; but given it was on the 5 year anniversary of "getting our club back" some of the comments about struggling to support seem a bit OTT.

Didn't we agree we'd gladly take starting again to get rid of the previous owners, we had a kind of phoenix club ready in the wings, etc etc.

Yes this is a disappointing season - especially away from home; but I'll never take for granted to chance to support our club.

Nailed it. You may privately bollock them, but not out loud. I would always take the hit publicly, what I said to my team was between us, and he has lost my respect for putting the blame on them publicly.

Watching your football club is a bit of an addictive drug. Maybe the boycott, followed relatively closely by lockdown, has created an element of rehab. Maybe the ties are not quite as strong as they were and the defeats do not hurt in the same way. Certainly watching dull as dishwater football does nothing to strengthen those ties.
 
I don't think we have lacked ambition in terms of investing in the squad,well not for a division 3 club .

What I do agree with is that far too often we are fkn boring

It would take a Keogh type to come out and say it. And we don’t have anyone with that mentality in the group bar possibly Husband. You can just tell they have lost their mojo trying to play this system amidst all the relentless chopping and changing.
