Is Critchley starting to realise…

[Junior_BentsPlatformShoes]

Has it taken being down to ten men against a good side at home for Critchley to realise being positive with player choices and on the front foot at home against a good team today is worth the risk? Maybe start games like this? Seems to at the end of his take on the game;

Yeh, OK Neil try going for it from the off in future eh

 

[tangysider]

I was hoping you had ended the sentence that HE is not good enough

... That the fans know best? Although I've seen a least five different selections on here today

It would have been nice to play with a competitive midfield. Even with injuries we had better options

It seems like the second half performance has maybe opened his eyes a bit? You’d hope so - we play like that with ten men against a good team, we should be starting with an attacking lineup and going for it from the off. By all means keep it right away from home first half, but at home go for it, you then get the twelfth man too from the off.

Not a chance! Previous performances don't seem to be relevant to him, not ours anyway!

He needs to realise passion and intensity from the players feeds the support at home which then feeds the players to keep up that intensity. Away is different, but he needs to realise the power of it and our unique home support.

He says that, then his selections don’t back it up.
I expect him to forget it all by next week. Safety first lads….

Safety first does not often end with conceding 4 goals at home after conceding 2 at home against a team that had only scored a sum total of 2 goals.

You'd think not but after almost losing a 3 goal lead, we came out the following game and didn't appear to be looking to get another 3 goal lead!

Not a chance, I think he really believes only he knows best, what we think/say doesn't matter a jot to him..

We take a long time to get started and ,midfield was a struggle, Oakley booth was having a struggle then started to get in some tackles but will need time to settle , CJ didn't get anywhere in first half but should of had a pen in 2nd by that time it was too far gone as they broke well ,could t really see that sending off
At least it shows that we can cause problems when Dembele is given the ball

 

[tangerine_neil]

We are desperately short of quality.

Excluding Dembele is like keeping Japanese Wagyu Beef in the fridge until it goes off, whilst serving up cheap mince.

Theres lots of exciting dishes you can knock together out of a pound of mince.

Said the same. We were better with 10 men because we went for it, and realised they weren't all that - this is one the best teams in the league and we had em on the ropes for a period with 10 men.

The ref created tension with the crowd and when they started going for it, a fire was lit under everyone's arses. I don't consider it a wasted journey yesterday because that atmosphere was brilliant second half. Really was an us vs. them feeling that united everyone, no one was arsed if a stray pass was hit or anything because we were going for it.

I hope he has learnt that we shouldn't fear ANYONE in this division. Put teams to the sword at home.
