Fleetwood v Blackpool Official Matchday Thread 01.11.23

[BFCAleman]

Fleetwood look so full of energy, fair play to them.

Physically stronger

 

[AngelBFC]

We are not playing ok . No quality at all post 10 mins

 

[neyo]

Can anyone defend what CJ Hamilton just did?

Nah, that's amateur tbf.

 

[Ollygon]

Superb cross from Hamilton!!!

 

[Chesterbfc]

I,m just glad I didn't go !!

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

Critchley out. This formation is horrible

 

[SeasideKurt]

Look at their ball into the box there? Dale and Carey from free kicks have all hit the front man.

 

[HetzkeBlaster]

Simon had a big choice to make in the summer.

Sign an attack minder manager who wants to win every game in Dobbie, or sign a defensively minded manager in Critch who sets out not to lose every game in Critch.

Now we’re witnessing the fall out of that decision

 

[AllOrNothing]

I actually think we are playing ok, just been caught on two counters

Totally disagree. Game state has come into play....they’re 2 up, they don’t need to force the issue. We look clueless around the box

 

[Bamber]

Fleetwood look so full of energy, fair play to them.

Agreed, although every team we play look fitter, faster and better organised.

 

[tangysider]

3 -0 defeat to Bromley will be on the cards on Saturday

Play ressies

 

[Junior_BentsPlatformShoes]

Midfield is the big issue. Defence exposed, once again Dougall left with too much to do.

 

[neyo]

Can only assume Johnson's given them one hell of a team talk. They just look UP FOR IT. Surely Critchley f'ing roasts your lot at half time...

 

[SeasideKurt]

Morgan, Weir, Dembele for Carey, Oakley Boothe and CJ Hamilton

 

[hertfordseasider]

Thet are being brainwashed by Critchleys tactics, we aren't Man City FFS, we don't have the players or skill to play how he wants, it's been another entertaining game to watch but we are 2 down, says it all really.

 

[mropinion]

We look absolutely woeful at the back.

 

[Dr Hfuhruhurr]

Blackpool need more space for this formation to work. The pitch is too concise for our style of play.

Don’t think there’s a pitch big enough….

This is arguably too attacking. We are playing 3-3-4 more or less.

 

[Matesrates]

I assume the 63% possession we’ve had has all been between our defenders.

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Critchley couldn't roast a chicken.

 

[AngelBFC]

Nice from dougall that

 

[nzseasider]

Fans in the ground turning against Critchley judging by the chants .

 

[Ollygon]

Fleetwood attack with pace. We attack with stupor.

 

[Vince McLean]

We look like Fleetwood and they look like Arsenal.
Nothing in midfield - and as for Carey's recent free-kick, ffs.
They need a ** rocket up the arse.

 

[Blackpool_Gaz]

.

At what point does Sadler sack him. Surely now.

Better be before the Bolton match

 

[20togo]

Crowd turning on Critchey?

 

[no9]

Some bad shouts to be honest

 

[Burnnazzer]

This is as bad as I can remember for a long time. Without the ball we are shocking and with it too slow and predictable. Simple case of lack of ability all over the pitch. Two non tacking wing backs isn’t great.

 

[hertfordseasider]

Pool faithful now turning on Critchley, that's a bad sign for Critchley but they are right. If it carries on like this then he is going to be a big risk of the Spanish archer

 

[HappyasLarry]

“Critchley, Critchley, Sort it out’
I’d prefer ‘Critchley, Critchley, bore off!’

 

[BillyRonsonNo7]

3 -0 defeat to Bromley will be on the cards on Saturday

Good side Bromley

 

[Ollygon]

How many ineffective crosses has that been from Dale?

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Dembele to start the 2nd half...show some intent.

 

[fcblackpool]

THE BALL INTO THE BOX IS ** SHIT!!

 

[Macseasider]

Dale on the left, CJ on the right, shit loads of possession and neither of them are capable of delivering a cross of any quality at all. Painful viewing.

 

[SeasideKurt]

Dembele to start the 2nd half...show some intent.

He very rarely makes subs at half time. We've been in the fight and hit the bar. He still thinks how we've set up is right.

 

[911_Kirky]

Stop ** tinkering, stop with the shit formation that doesn’t work and go 4-4-2
It’s quite a simple concept, one that works!
We’re a L1 club FFS!
This had banana skin written all over it!

 

[Bamber]

Oakley-Booth and Hamilton must be softest right hand side a team in League One has ever fielded.

 

[Seasidetyler]

Nothing to do with critch? Who sets the formation/tactics, picks his favourites no matter how poor they are? The buck stops with the manager full stop..

I'm sick of his (critchley) excuses and bullshit, he will come out with the same old crap at the end of the match, he just will not accept that he's responsible..I honestly think that he believes in his head that he can do no wrong, and he is right, just everyone else that lets his tactical genius down..

 

[Wizzerboy]

Did you have a nice meal?

 

[parker14]

It's indescribably frustrating this.

Dale is in acres too and should be doing so much better.

He's slow and predictable, same as CJ (predictable).

 

[LA63]

Blackpool need more space for this formation to work. The pitch is too concise for our style of play.

Why,have we got a style of play

 

[incredible_edibles]

His half time choices could have a big bearing not only on the game but his future.
When managers lose the fan base at Blackpool they generally never recover.

If he carries on the only bonus will be that he gets potted.

 

[rememberlesshannon]

The final ball is absolutely abysmal, where's Dembele when you need him !

 

[Mexboroseasider]

Crowd turning on Critchey?

Yep

 

[SeasideKurt]

Carey there is a PRIME example of what is wrong with us. He's got the ball, taken a touch, acres of space ahead of him. Instantly turns back and tries to go backwards.

That was an absolutely shit half of football.

 

[briar]

THE BALL INTO THE BOX IS ** SHIT!!

Weve won nothing in the air all night

 

[FY5_Seasider]

Yes. I know. I was replying to another comment. Is that not obvious?

 

[madatta]

I assume the 63% possession we’ve had has all been between our defenders.

It's just like the chuckle brothers to me to you to me to out of play
