Fleetwood v Blackpool Official Matchday Thread 01.11.23

Passing it about alright but some woeful defending.

The 1st should have been cut out and the 2nd was non league stuff.

We've got the ball into some decent areas but as is often, our final ball and delivery is utter shite.

I still expect us to win with lots of goals 2nd half

🤡
 
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
It would be nice seeing a defence for a change.We are probably the easiest team in the league to score against.
 
We’ve been suicidal. It’s almost like Critchley has told them to play on the front foot and therefore go gung ho instead of keeping it right away from home and growing into the match. Maybe he’s listened too much to supporters instead of sticking to his way. Either way, Fleetwood haven’t had to do a lot to go 2 up, and we’ve looked fragile Everytime when they’ve come forward.
Big half time talk and decisions. Kouassi anonymous barring a good flick on early on. I’d rather see Lavery harassing and Dembele on second half. Get Booth off, he’s done nothing.
 
If Dale could use the ball better when he gets the chance ,CJ too for that matter , both getting plenty of good ball but not using it . He's had plenty of it & in good space too Dougal plays backwards more often than not. Cant quite see what Oakley-boothe is bringing to the team .

Sadler is about as adventurous as Critchley. They suit each other to a T. Thats why he had him back. What Sadler actually should do is sue whoever produced a 50 page dossier which kept coming up with Critchley.
 
No team wins a game of football with a shit midfield. We aren't quick enough to attack through midfield and the midfielders are never around to defend either. I still think this wierd take on a 352 is the problem.
 
This is arguably too attacking. We are playing 3-3-4 more or less.
It’s more often than not a 352, but I agree at times there’s been 4 up top when dale and cj have pushed on, but that leaves you exposed in the middle and at the back with a 3 3 when the opposition break, and let’s face it, they’re not good enough at the back are they?
A good old 442 is needed, just like when Calderwood came in last time to steady the ship and guide the U23 coach into some realism for L1 football.
 
CJ has been absolutely awful, he has completed more successful crosses to them than us. Dale has tried hard but nothing has worked. This 352 just isn't working
 
Passing backwards, passing sideways and when it goes forward all the Fleetwood players are back. Where are the defence breaking passes???
When will we learn?

Add to the lousy rotten showing on the pitch, already I've seen three items thrown from the Blackpool crowd onto the pitch , probably aimed at Fleetwood players. When will they learn, no doubt more action from the League.

Fortunately, it's the Cods who are throwing flares.

I need a beer, thank the Lord I'm at home.
 
I fully expect critch to keep the same team second half. I hope to god I'm wrong. Carey, Oakley Boothe are not good enough by a long way for a start.
 
this is seriuosly upseting me. wtf. no match cmms apart from dab . having to keep up with live score and we are 2 down. this half time is effing huge . dont care what he does just get a effing goal back early doors and get back into ths game. cos we are s;;te on tv . god knows what could happen on SAT JEEEEEEZ
