Some players just not up to it

The fact that he's not added at least a couple of proven, experienced players to the spine of the team borders on incompetence. Should we have appointed a youth / U23 coach with no experience of senior football and of league1? I think not!

You seem to be blaming Critchley for decisions that I assume are taken at owner / ceo level.

I’m guessing that you haven’t been party to any discussions between the three of them so I’m not sure how you can accuse Critchley of incompetence.

Perhaps you can pinpoint two experienced players who you would want for your perfect spine and then tell us how much these players might cost.

Sadler has certainly invested money in the club but not the kind of money i imagine it would take to bring in your choices. If this makes Critchley incompetent, then so be it

There are only a few days of the transfer window left Neil, so PLEASE sign at least a seasoned centre half and hope we can turn the season around.

Am I wrong in thinking that the domestic transfer window only closes on October 16th

The significant sums spent on Yates and Lubala could have been used differently. Also, he has still to address the long-standing issues at cb, midfield and up front.

Its up to the club and head coach to properly scout and sign players not fans on a message board

We are miles away from meeting the owners target of promotion

6 players short ...

Why is Critchley taking all the blame for the recruitment? WTF is Tommy Johnson up to? Has he left?

It was fine margins yesterday. Leading 2-1 against top of the table Husband makes a mistake and the game unravels from the resulting penalty and red card. It was harsh on Husband, who had a good game, and is just starting his season after injury. The team is developing, it's not the finished article, and has only had 4 games. And was one mistake different from the top team yesterday.

I'm far from ashamed but if you're happy with results so far then good for you. There's a big differences preparing talented youngsters to play in the Lpool way than signing mid 20's league 2 players and making them good enough to bridge the gap between the leagues. Clearly, several are not good enough. Critchley was a risky appointment and is looking uncomfortable in the job. I do hope he turns things around but I have grave doubts that he will. The Critchley, Mansford, Johnson combo isn't working.

The season has only just started .

Too early to come to these ridiculous conclusions .

Give him at least 10 games.
 
Yesterday we scored more than them from open play. You get these freak games. One mistake from Husband was the reason we lost . You can’t pin that on the manager

Mitchell, Ekipeteta and Husband gifted a good Lincoln side 3 goals. Style and belief is one thing, experience is another. For Husband to make that mistake, he wants fining, it's criminal defending with 6 minutes on the clock.

Correct. But seriously what can a coach do with the mistake Husband made. I thought he had a good game overall. But that error was so hard to take after just taking the lead. If he was a young player you could say he'll learn from that mistake but Husband, he's an experienced player.

Get a grip, man! Husband was forced back early from his injury because Critchley didn't have confidence in Nottingham. By the time he made his error of judgement and positioning he was knackered. That's something that needs putting right. It doesn't require anybody being fined.
Posters have listed and discussed all the errors. Let's not now go overboard.

How many times does Anderson let the ball run away from him? As someone said, he traps the ball further than I can kick it.

He's a League 1 player who will be improved by training. If I didn't believe that I'd be posting about having thrown my season ticket money down the toilet. I haven't and the lads will improve.

Er...possibly have other things to do. Tell me why would it be ‘brave’ to post my name? Are you threatening me? It would be foolish of you to do that. However, given how you spent most the final years of the Oyston’s being very public on social media about breaking the boycott and attacking the efforts of the Knights, BST and anyone protesting for change, then I doubt you think things through. You are not a particularly pleasant individual given the speed you resort to abuse nor are you in line with the attitude of the vast majority of blackpool fans who sacrificed much to see a change for the better.

You mentioned me by name, but you obviously no nothing about me or my face to face spats with various members of the Oystons over the years. I am a member of BST and have many friends within the group. It doesn't mean I agreed with everything they said or did. I no more to say to such a meaningless individual like yourself.
 
i really don't get the negativity.
last year we were punting most balls up to a big centre forward who at best would maintain 30% possession. Our principle tactic for goals was out to the right wing and a quick cross into the big fella in the middle. if it worked it was great if it ddn't then we usually lost. It wasnt until KDH and the other kid came and formed a decent link with Virtue that we all realised we had been missing for 7 or 8 years. We had a defence that was susceptible to and always looked as though it was going to conceded, a combination of decent goal keepers and ditch defending a lot of the time kept the ball out of the goal.

The one game i thought we sort of controlled was winbledon at home and the best anyone could say was that it was professional, i cannot remember it being a good game to watch. we are currently averaging 65% possession, we are having double digit shots on goal and getting into scoring chances significantly more often.

look at the players in Holloways team, adam, glasgow rangers hadnt done anything of note, Vaughan second division in spain, GTF, keith southern, matty philips,

at the start of every game im expecting that we do something. giving away stupid like on saturday isnt one of them, in this league defences make mistakes, and we should be taking more advantage. Over the 90 mins yea¡sterday i think we were the better side. with a bit of luck we might have had four. Notwithstanding that the subs decisions were bizarre, im sure NC will look at that decision and ask himself some questions

You’ve been bubbled. Simple as that. Sat in mushroom central all those years and slagged off good people’s efforts on social media. Despicable individual.

Better that than you, a gutless keyboard coward. I'm proud of having supported and watched Pool since 1957. I will say what I like when I like and a halfwit like you can like it or lump it.
