Gave it our best shot but ultimately not good enough. Critchley must go thread.

Couldn't agree more, glad it came down to the last day, but the season is officially over, that gap and all the points we dropped were too much to overcome, we go again in August!

Actually, if you had just kept this until Sunday, then it would look like a good post!
 
The first 20 mins on Saturday showed our capabilities, granted we can't sustain that for 90 mins but I can't think of many other games we have shown that threat. We should be able to have phases in every game like that but we collapse like a deck of cards when pressed. Lost too many points to poor teams this season through absolute dire performances.
 
Yep disappointing not to see that through and results went for us too.

Where is the improvement?
 
we would be a laughing stock to the football world apart from the AVFTT mob, who think they know everything about football, if we happen to marginally miss out on the back of the car crash of last season. our weak points were identified in Jan Buyers and Coulson brought in and generally been on good form since. I would say a fair chance we will be successful next season if we don’t go up this , & I still firmly believe we can

We're at risk of becoming "Sunderland fans" and I don't use that term lightly. Only thing we're missing at this point is a liberal seasoning of "we should be beating teams like this" and before you know it we'll be playing in red and white
 
I have serious reservations about saying we gave it our best shot.
If only we'd gone into more games like we did against Barnsley, but unfortunately there has Been far too many false dawns this season

Getting really desperate for "likes" now lad.

I always want us to go up and be the best version of Blackpool FC that we can be. Whatever the outcome is - and I pray we make the play offs was I entertained? Not a bit. I was bored by a whole lot of it.

Let's just hope the lads can do the business on Saturday. I've a feeling we will make it.

He’s on a wind up mission Mac truth be known he thinks the sun shines out of Critchley’s arse.
 
Disappointed @AllezBlackpool that after some decent Mystic Meg Prediction Threads (like the Season Over one!) that this one isn't the same. Can you change the title to 'What a turnaround. Critchley was always our man'!
 
"It ain't over until it's over" - Rocky & us Seasiders.
SS has made it crystal clear that NC is going nowhere.
Regardless of the division we're in, next season will be a rebuild and new challenge.
I just hope NC has listened to the criticisms with regards to his style of play, responds positively to it, and next season we play every game like the first 60 minutes V Barnsley.
🧡

Oh that is certainly true. There are lots of if, buts and maybes. If anything, being still in it on the last day highlights these issues. Even so, there have been a number of cold comfort statements on here that have been way too premature in the making.

Without getting embroiled in the thread, Barnsley was a must win game, or a nothing to lose game. There was no choice but to go out and try to get the result. Reading WILL be the same- it has to be.

However Port Vale away on a Tuesday night in November the message will be to try and get a point at least. It's his make up (no mascara puns please).
 
MY son rang me the other morning. He had been in the sponsors lounge. Said you know what . it wouldnt harm to stay in this League another season. I will agree with that . What would be the point of going up if we simply wont be good enough. It may just happen . But Wrexham away is a definite for next season . it could be a good league with plenty of relative short trips away. more than likely a few days out in YARKSHIRE . utmp.

You two may not be far wrong.
Even with our current loan players, this squad wouldn't survive in what is now a very tough, very fast playing championship.
We need major investment to have a team able to compete at that level, together with a change in attitude from NC.
It is what it is - let's see where we are 1.20pm ish on Saturday afternoon.

thankz . We have been Lads and Dads since about 1995. He will be 39 this August when his birthday fall. We have Wrexham away as a definite . He gets a new car in July so its a long time since we had a welsh team in this league.

From birth, our two daughters, followed by our 6 year old grandson, became Seasiders for life.
I thought - well my brother made me live a life of ups and downs being a Seasider, so I'll share the burden with you 🤣 Like you, we've experienced great occasions together & will until I'm 6 foot under.
Even though we live in Warrington near one daughter (40) & the other lives Stockport, they all have tangerine blood, especially our little fella.
Stocky & Wrexham will be like home grounds for us in L1, we just hope neither are mid-week games.
Enjoy Saturday and let's see where the result takes us & you in the lads new car! 🍊
