Look, credit where it is due that Critch has realised the best way of beating Bolton today was to go at them for 96 minutes.
He’d obviously told them to get it forward more when we have got the ball, instead of ** about at the back.
He made changes at half time , I think for the first time and his subs worked.
I thought Grimmy was slow to get down for what looked like a comfortable save and we went one down. But he made a couple of decent saves after that, aided both times by their player not quite getting a good contact on the ball.
All the outfield players responded to the superb backing by the fans, and a mention for Hoggy and his top quality drumming.
We showed all those present that if ever Evatt was to become our manager, he’d get the best backing by the fans and it could be a match made in heaven.
This may have pissed Critch off somewhat, compounded by not a single NC T Army chant.
At the end, we rightfully applauded the lads for their efforts and Critch had sacked ‘the fist pumps’.
But a fair few behind the goal teased and prompted him to do so and he duly obliged.
I hope he feels fuckin great tonight, but more so when he watches it back, the penny drops with regards to getting the formation and tactics right and he’ll continue this way for the run in.
Today, the fans were on it, the players responded and we all go home happy.
Let’s hope Critch and the players put in similar performances in the next 2 challenging games and give those loyal away fans the reward they so richly deserve.
If we do carry on from where we finished today, then I’m sure us fans will sing his name ‘loud n proud’ during the next home game.
When we are on it, we are hard to beat and if only we could be consistent for the run in, I beleive we will sneak into the play offs.
We collectively got it right today and IMO should cut Critch some slack and see how it pans out for the next few games.
It’s still ‘all to play for’.
UTMP!!!
