That goal is down to the opposition knowing exactly how we set up and how to hit us on a break.
Play down one side draw the back three over, CJ nowhere in sight so swing it over to a player in acres of discreet. Goal.
We are so consistent it’s embarrassing.

exactly that and it all stems from a manager who should be coaching under 21's in the Championship, he is not a football manager.
 
If we lose this one and win on Monday, I hope the Critchley bum spiders don’t wait for him to do his rubbish fist punch .. give him the bum’s rush!
 
Critchley should show the team that goal at half time. How not to play….and how to move the ball dangerously and properly when you do have it.
 
Another poor half of football.

They are even less imposing than Burton Albion, had one of their best players recalled from loan earlier today, are playing a 16 year old ffs and yet are winning.

Fans have turned up again, in good voice for the first 10, then the life gets sucked out of it with the football; just like at Burton, Cambridge, etc. Loads of pointless possession without any real threat and constantly slowing the play down.

It's really not good enough. The system we are playing is not working consistently enough for us to challenge this season.

And whilst Bees was getting treatment and the majority of the team were over at the touchline, Critchley was looking down at the floor just pacing up and down his technical area.

In Critch we trust, yeh right🤬

No passion in the man
 
Port Vale are shit, problem is that we're worse. No chance we are going up this season if we don't sort out our away form.
 
If we lose this Critchley will not come over to the supporters because he's spineless and there is going to be more and more dissent from the supporters there too which is going to escalate every game.

Big half coming up, but can anyone see us winning from this position?
 
I can't be arsed sitting through more of that second half. Well don not the fans who made good noise for the 15 before the 'football' we play sucked the life out of them..

Getting harder and harder to defend Critchley.

First season we started horribly with a 4-3-3 and he changed to 4-4-2 to get results, with how he’s been back it should be Playoffs minimum, but this recent form is disastrous with no indication of change.

If 2nd half mirrors 1st then he needs to walk.. utterly useless

This HT team talk and tactics is where he earns his money... let's see.

Well my 0-3 is out... OK 1-3 🤔
 
Don't worry, this moment is made for another half time masterclass by Critchley. Building on our dominant possession stats. Expect subs on 65 mins - Carey for Morgan. He can't do the forward swap because Beez is already done for, so maybe another non left back or two to add to the mix?

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but is that not simply a case of opposition players doing what is expected of them?

It is, but it's the job of competent attackers to hit the target, avoiding defenders. The amount of times our shots are blocked seems excessive.

Thats how to use possession, 2 passes and a goal. Connolly all over the gaff. Standard.

I have no idea what the fook Dom Thomson was trying to do with that pass. Unless it could be played at 200mph it was never ever on. Total braindead footballer.

Footballer? He's stealing a living. A headless chicken that cannot defend, cannot attack and is liable to multiple aberrations every time he plays.
