Get this clown out of our club Sadler, NOW 🤬

What a club we have become

Virtue
Beesley
Pennington
Kouassi
Connolly
Carey

All on the same pitch. Bit harsh throwing Beesley in there but why not.

The soul is being destroyed. Don't let it get worse Sadler.

Ssshh, you can't say that, Sadler is not to be criticised, I mean even when we say he has done really well sorting the club out you are not allowed to say he has absolutely no idea about the football itself. He has basically said Critchley is unsackable, so he is rewarding mediocrity, at best, no matter how great he is at running the club, if he carries on employing shit managers the support will dwindle, it's a lifelong commitment for many of us put there are a few thousand that don't have that loyalty and they are the ones who will walk away, can he afford that to happen? I don't think so.

If you can afford a season ticket then a fan will buy one, if you choose not to bother then that does question your strength of allegiance. I watched for years in the 80s and 90s when we only had 2 or 3 thousand s/T holders. I can hand on heart say some of those years where shocking, but it’s what you do Saturday afternoons. But if you don’t like what you see just don’t go. Wait until we start being successful again. Warning once it’s in your DNA it’s hard to walk away. Watching Pool helps you to deal with life’s twin imposters of success and failure.

Which clown? None of the players could do a decent pass tonight or win a 50:50 challenge

What did we set up to do tonight ?
Could you see a coherent plan or style of play ?
It's the same performance over and over away from home. Home team score first and 90% of the time that's game over.
What have the three stooges done in training or planning to turn these performances around, as far as I can see absolutely nothing, rinse and repeat.
 
Sadler knows this season is more or less done for us. Critchley will be here at least next season and if he doesn’t do well (which he won’t as long as he’s got a hole in his arse) he’ll be here until at least end of next season and then he may look at the situation. Another few thousand off the attendances etc I can see that next season.

No, it's in some of our DNA, don't kid yourself that when we finish mid table and Critchley is still manager that we won't lose a few thousand season ticket holders, we will because that's football, get in the real world.

Connolly and Carey I'll give you, Not good enough!

The first four though are / can be decent players for this level.
Seeing as Sadler wants us to stay in League one for a while they'll do.

I have one but probably won’t renew. I live 87 miles away and it’s a 6 hour round trip on unreliable trains to watch pretty dull football.

I can honestly say I’ve come away from 3 games this season fully satisfied with our display: Bolton, Reading and Stevenage. Otherwise I’ve been bored to tears.

If I lived in Blackpool I’d probably renew out of blind loyalty, but the train journeys are a grind and the style of football just isn’t worth it for me

Not harsh at all. He’s not a kid he’s a non league plodder of a centre forward, the idea that Beesley in his late 20s would ever be good enough for a team with any pretensions of going anywhere is ridiculous. Kouassi just as bad also.
 
What i don't get about CJ is he's lightning quick but runs ten yards stops and goes back. There are times when knock it past the full back, outpace him and whip it in the box will do. But no the manager obviously believes he's David Batty reborn.

You honestly think Kouassi, Virtue and Beesley are good players at this level.

Kouassi is National League at best
Beesley maybe a top half League Two club.
Virtue a top half League Two club.

There is a reason we get beat every away game other than Neil's tactics. The players are shit.

As I said we will lose supporters but we will get them back once we start winning. I think that is reality. I will go and if only a thousand others do I don’t care. Never do what you don’t like doing when it is an option. We are Blackpool we have highs and lows.

That is true but we need an owner who will take a chance on a manager instead of the dirge he has employed so far. He has to see the bigger picture, we are still, just about clinging onto the euphoria of getting rid of the vermin but if this keeps on the good will, will dwindle and once supporters walk away it is much harder to get them back, and if Critchley is here next season I see us being in the bottom half of the table, because he is a poor manager and a bog average coach, with the personality of a leaf.
 
That was an horrendous to watch. Players and manager should be ashamed.
What's frustrating is you could clearly see we were getting over-run in midfield/not winning any 1st or 2nd balls yet he stuck with the formation (again). So the same thing kept happening. I knew that was going to happen after Saturday it's completely in-line with how we've been all season - crap away and inconsistent.

"...it’s what you do Saturday afternoons."

Imagination like the coach and squad.

Books, radio, TV, films, music, walks.

"once it’s in your DNA it’s hard to walk away.

Start a 12-step Blackpool Anonymous.
 
It's all just getting a bit boring now. You can't even talk about football as you know one of these away performances is not far away.
 
He can pick 11 players and coach them to play a certain way but there is nothing he can do about players not running, being able to pass 5 yards or daydreaming. Ultimately it's the manager that cops it but those players have continually let him and us down away from home.
 
We actually started ok

CJ on the left started ok, and had several chances to put decent balls into the box, Gabriel did ok on the other side and we had a decent chance from the Dembele pass

Our best chance was when we had a 3 on 1 put the ref called it back for a free kick

Then it went to shite, they changed to stop Dembele and we hardly had a chance, poor tactics and team selection from the tinker tw@t again

Taking Gabriel off for tactical reasons apparently and nothing on the bench to try and change things, this squad lacks creativity, moral, aggression and determination and that's on the manager

He should have gone after Stevenage

Don’t change a winning team, simple. The same 11that finished Saturday should have started last night. The players can keep saying how they gel as a group but certain one must be disillusioned when no matter how well they play, they’re liable to be dropped the next game. Whilst certain others are selected week in week out no matter how ineffective they were.

As I say, the manager deserves stick but regardless of who he picks, he can't be blamed for supposed professional footballers playing as poorly as they have done so many times away from home this season. It's mainly on Critchley but the players also need to share some of the criticism. Last night not one of them played well and whilst it's not the 11 I'd have picked it wasn't a bad starting lineup.

It’s not the 11 you’d have picked, nor the 11 90% of us would have picked. Therein lies the problem.

We started ok…….

CJ had several chances to put decent balls into the box - But DIDN’T!

Gabriel kept overlapping but never got the ball early enough to make a difference, and he also DIDN’T put decent balls in.

The Dembele pass which Bees just couldn’t reach was the one and only bit of service our two forwards received all night!

The Marvin and Callum show was an ongoing disaster.

No midfield - Byers kept giving ball away, Norburn was playing in the back three, not wanting the ball, and Kaddy had three men on him all night. No creativity, no supply to our forwards, dodgy defending and treating the ball like a hot potato.

Clueless substitution after Lyons injury - keeping same formation with CJ and Virtue playing out of position as wing backs, Connelly and Pennington out of position as centre backs, keeping the same formation.

Should have put Pennington at right back, Marv and Connelly (why was Casey not on bench) in centre, Hubby left back in a four - Kaddy on right, CJ on left - Morgan and Norburn in centre mid - Bees and Kouassi front two.

Pennington was player of the season at Centre back last season for Shrews. Good in the air, not too slow and similar to Casey. We are playing him in the position that means he’s a quasi right back. Ok in an emergency but not week in, week out.

Kouassi is very young and gaining experience. Hes hot and cold like all youngsters but has the attributes to develop. He’s younger than most of our dev and academy players.

Beesley is very effective at this level. He has had some great games alongside Rhodes and has been one our better players in the past 3 games.

Virtue - fine as cover and can do a job at this level but I wouldn’t be too concerned if he’s released.

Byers supposedly is a higher league player, but cost us the goal, and it was not the only time he was caught in possession. Historically I think some of our lower league gambles have been our best signings.

I must be too busy on my Firestick as I am missing these key moments.
 
Getting sick of hearing Critchleys comments after games.Same words and phrases - frustrated, confidence knocked, mistakes, unforced errors, inconsistent.
When is he going to start using words and phrases like not motivated, poor tactics, shouldn't change a winning team, incorrect positions, not fired up?

I'm beginning to think that the inconsistencies are the matches like Bolton at home and Peterborough away.
