At least Oxford and Portsmouth lost
Last few games (yes even Sunderland) we’ve been poor and been lucky getting the points.
It's funny that from out of nowhere a load of posters have appeared who haven't posted on a match thread for 16 games suddenly give their comments tonight. They must have been waiting patiently for that game, well, there you go, get it out of your system, I hope you disappear for a few months again.There’s a few that have been waiting for a gash performance like this for 16 games.
Meaning back in their lives again, chance to vent and slate every player.
We’ve been poor tonight but still a play off team snd still we never give up trying until the final whistle.
Dusty wizzels. One poor performance doesn’t mean we are a bad team or badly coached
Anyhow - vent away. Get it off your chests.
It’s been poor
It certainly looks that way !In all honesty Pool are just a workmanlike unit with no creativity or goals from midfield.
Yep , he's a big lively looking lad. Fresh legs and say 20 minutes to stretch em and who knows. Pity the speed merchants weren't on earlier because we were jaded and slow which I can understand .Too much football , too many injuries ... so mix it up with what precious little options we've gotHe gave Brad Holmes 4 minutes of normal time..... apart from that recycled the same old subs, to be fair we dont have much else but Holmes earlier would have been better.
Utter shite tonight, still in a great position in the league, with games in hand on below, but that was crap.
A bogey team.I agree! It's done now we move on!
UTMP!
Let's bounce back vs Shrewsbury!
Was hard to tell from the angle of the camera but looked a soft goal all round either way. Not sure who should have put a tackle in but before that we kept clearing the ball unnecessarily into touch when we could have tried to play it out within the pitch, didn't fully clear and paid the price.As have they all except Maxwell. He had no chance with that shot the angle it was coming in at.
Would hope you'd know me better than that Al.Course I’m not happy with tonight’s performance, but it seems to me some posters almost can’t wait to jump in and moan when things aren’t going right.
There’s one poster I made the mistake of looking at his post history. Every game he posts Dougall is shit, Mitchell can fuck off etc etc etc. Never one post of positivity and that was in a run of 16 games unbeatenIt's funny that from out of nowhere a load of posters have appeared who haven't posted on a match thread for 16 games suddenly give their comments tonight.

There is no denying that was probably the worst performance from us this season and I hope the players are made to watch that through tomorrow to see what rubbish we have had to endure. They need to move on and put that right on Saturday. Now is not the time to get heads down and fell sorry for yourself. Make the play offs at all costs and ensure the players are as fresh as possible.
I thought tonight was a great opportunity to freshen things up, play Husband, Marv, Gabriel, Mitchell and give Holmes a go with Simms. We are likely to need them at some point and they need game time.There was a lot to moan about but there was always going to be a defeat before the end of the season.
It's out of the way.
Start the next 8 match unbeaten run on Saturday, but that won't be easy.

It certainly appears that way. Oh well, up and at 'em against Shrewsbury.surely they can't be too weak to cross the ball into the box can they?
It's just as much effort to pass it all the way back to Maxwell 30 times in the first half
Maxwell had a good game...no others thoughNot one of our players has had a good game.
The superfans will be on later saying how we aren't entitled to win every game borin blah blah blah.
We should expect better than this. A painful evening and those talking about Wembley and promotions should have a reality check. We need a lot lot better to make those playoffs.
That's us done? Bollocks it is.If ever there was a game that signalled that we've run out of steam, we're shattered both players and management, then that was it ! Valiant try but I think that's us done.
I hope so, we were always going to be outnumbered where it matters in midfield and playing 2 up front doesn't make you a more attacking team if you cant get the ball to them!Unfortunately we were not at it tonight, but credit to Rochdale, they are fighting for their league 1 lives . Their game plan worked a treat . I would imagine Mr Critchley will analyse this performance and make the necessary tactical changes for the next game . COYP.
Touched a nerve then with sarcastically calling out your history of slagging off the management. Yep. Didn’t call you a bellend though.You started being sarcastic, remember sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. If you can’t take it, don’t dish it out.
I think it's reasonable to give fans a bit of slack here Chunky. We're in a precarious position with a chance, no more, of getting into the play-offs. We played a bottom 4 team and we were abysmal.There’s a few that have been waiting for a gash performance like this for 16 games.

It is.That's us done? Bollocks it is.
Correct, there was always going to be a defeat. But I don’t think the ‘ moaners’ along with myself are too concerned about a defeat. Tonight wasn’t a defeat, it was a capitulation, losing will be accepted by most reasonable fans, the manner of that defeat is what’s causing concern. It can’t be blamed entirely on tiredness, we have played less games than most other teams. The main bone of contention seems to be, at least for me anyway, the constant backwards and sideways passing and the management team seemingly incapable of changing personnel/ tactics until it’s to late. Proactive not reactive should be the order of the day.There was a lot to moan about but there was always going to be a defeat before the end of the season.

Fans need to vent feelings tonight. It's not unreasonable after what we've just seen.Stop complaining and support the lads you say we are poor the lads are exhausted, not going to win every game!
How did you come to that conclusion?It is.
You're right, I was taking the piss a bit, the boss got his team selection and formation wrong tonight but some people don't think you should say that.Fans need to vent feelings tonight. It's not unreasonable after what we've just seen.
I’m not against criticism on here nor even a vent 66.I think it's reasonable to give fans a bit of slack here Chunky. We're in a precarious position with a chance, no more, of getting into the play-offs. We played a bottom 4 team and we were abysmal.
Fans letting off steam is the least of Critchley's worries.
He said in his pre-match vid that he knew how Rochdale would set up. Well? That went f*cking shite didn't it!
At this stage we should be doing a Charlton and beating these by a score.
You should know after years of watching Pool, we never do things the easy way! We need to be emotional wrecks before the prize is won, keep the faith Wizzer!Would hope you'd know me better than that Al.
Right from the start when people were calling for Critch's head I was asking for him to be given time.
What I do do is call a bad performance when I see it.
It must be wonderful to watch every match through tangerine glasses or blinkers without seeing the bleeding obvious.
Tonight Blackpool were leggy, devoid of attacking ideas and made a team in bottom 4 look good.
I dont buy into this the bottom teams will be fighting for their lives garbage, they are there for a reason, they're bad.
So ok we move onto Shrewsbury on Saturday a team we rarely do well against then the Makems who seem to have got their shit sorted.
I've no fingernails left to bite
